Thank you for purchasing the Sanyo CLA-1380.
The Sanyo CLA-1 380 is acordless telephone and answering system in one
compact unit and has many convenient features.

●
●
10-ChanneI Access -If noise or other interference occurs during a
conversation, press the SCAN button to select adifferent channel. (See
page 20.)
10-Number Auto Dial -You can store up to 10 frequently called numbers
for easy recall. Once stored, these numbers can be dialed by using the
MEMORY button and the O-9 buttons on the handset. (See page 22.)
Intercom -Using the handset and base station, you can have an inter-
com conversation. (See pages 25- 26.)
Outgoing Message (OGM) IC Recording -Your outgoing message,
which asks callers to leave amessage, is recorded on an integrated
circuit. This allows callers to leave amessage immediately after hearing
your outgoing message, instead of having to wait for the message tape to
wind to the end of the last recorded message.
Your outgoing message is also recorded at the beginning of the message
tape as abackup. If there is apower failure, the outgoing message is
transferred automatically from the message tape to the IC memory when
the power is restored.
Remote Message Retrieval -You can retrieve your incoming messages
from another location using any touch-tone telephone which has a
“continuous tone” signal. (See page 33.)
This SANYO cordless telephone/answering system is Hearing-Aid compati-
ble.
Notice:
This unit uses radio communication between the handset and the base unit
and may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices, including
other cordless telephones, may interfere with the operation of the cordless
telephone section of this unit or cause noise during operation. Cordless
telephones must not cause interference to any licensed radio service.
-3-

Please read these hints carefully to get the best performance from your
cordless telephone.
Rechargeable battery
QCharge the rechargeable battery for afull 12 hours before using the
cordless telephone for the first time. (See page 8.)
●Clean the battery charging terminals on the handset and the base station
once amonth by wiping them with asoft cloth moistened lightly with
isopropyl alcohol.
Security code
This cordless telephone has adigital security system with 10 million possible
codes. This system helps to prevent unauthorized use of your telephone line
by another cordless telephone.
If you hear ahigh-pitched beep tone, or no dial tone, this means that the
security code has been lost. If this occurs, reset the security code as de-
scribed on page 11.
●If apower failure occurs, or if the battery is replaced, the security code
must be reset. (See page 11.)
Operating range
The operating range may vary depending on the operating conditions,
location and distance between the base station and the handset. For the
best possible performance, locate the base station in the highest room
feasible in your home or office, and as close to the centre of the desired
operating area as possible.
For the best performance under normal operating conditions, extend the
base station antenna fully.
Since cordless telephones use radio frequencies for communication, certain
obstacles between the base station and the handset may reduce the operat-
ing range.
The following are some examples.
-Concrete walls
-Tile walls (typically used in bathrooms)
-Large metal objects (such as refrigerators, metal cabinets, etc.)
-Metal shielding inside of walls
-Metal fences
-Objects which obstruct radio frequencies
NOTE: If you are beyond the operating range of the telephone, the END
button or SCAN button does not operate properfy. If this occurs, move closer
to the base station and try again.
-4-

Interference
If you have more than one cordless telephone in your home or office, we
recommend that you separate the telephones from each other as much as
possible to avoid interference. If interference does occur, change the operat-
ing channel on one of the telephones by pressing the SCAN button, or lower
the base station antenna, thereby reducing its range.
Noise
Electrical pulse noise is present in
most homes at one time or anoth-
er. This is most intense during
electrical storms. Certain kinds of
electrical equipment such as TVs,
,@ @
fluorescent lamps, halogen lamps,
microwave ovens, light dimmers,
motors, fans, etc., also generate
noise pulses. Because radio
frequency transmissions are
susceptible to these pulses, on
oocasion you may hear them in
your handset. Generally they are a
minor annoyance and should not
be interpreted as adefect in your
system.

ANSWERING SYSTEM
RING DELAY SWITCH
(2/4/AUTO)
The RING DELAY switch lets you
choose the number of times the
telephone rings before acall is
answered.
-2position:
Incoming calls are answered on
the second ring.
-4position:
Incoming calls are answered on
the fourth ring.
-AUTO (Toll Saver) position:
The first incoming call is
answered on the fourth ring,
and later calls are answered on
the second ring. If you call your
number from another phone
and hear three rings, you know
you have no messages and can
hang up and save the cost of
the call. When you reset the
unit to the auto answer mode,
the unit again answers the first
new call on the fourth ring.
T
RING DELAY switch
CPC ON/OFF
The telephone systems in many
areas provide adisconnect pulse
when acaller hangs up. If the
CPC/ANS.ONLY switch (located
on the side of the base station) is
set to CPC ON, the CLA-1 380
stops recording and returns to the
auto answer mode when this
disconnect pulse is received. This
eliminates annoying recordings of
dial tones between messages.
The CPC/ANS.ONLY switch
should be kept in the CPC OFF
position if:
-Your telephone is equipped
with call waiting service
-You have anoisy telephone
exchange
(If the switch is not in the CPC
OFF position, your calls may be
disconnected prematurely.)
ANSWER ONLY
If you do not want messages to be
received and recorded, set the
switch to the ANS.ONLY position.
The unit then plays your outgoing
message but does not record
incoming messages.

“Hello. This is (your name). Please leave your name and telephone number
and a brief message, and your call will be returned as soon as possible.
Thank you.”
NOTES:
The message tape must be
inserted before an outgoing
message can be recorded. This
ensures that there is abackup
tape recording of your outgoing
message in the event of apower
failure. (See “POWER FAILURE”,
page 40.)
If you attempt to record an
outgoing message without a
message tape inserted, 3long
beeps sound.
Your outgoing message can be
up to approximately 16 seconds
in length. The IN USE indicator
flashes to alert you during the last
4seconds of recording time.
If you attempt to record an
outgoing message more than 16
seconds in length, the answering
system automatically stops
recording and enters the auto
answer mode.

ing is completed, the unit switch-
es to the auto answer mode
automatically. If you want to
cancel the auto answer mode,
press the STOP button.
If an incoming call is received
