GENERAL FEATURES
THE CORDLESS HANDY TELEPHONE is one of the most advanced cordless tele
phone available. The efficient transistorized circuitry provides high reliability in a
compact size. Once installed, on a touch tone phone or a standard rotary phone, it
operates just like any telephone but without the inconvenience of a cord. You can
place or receive calls free of the wire connections up to 700 feet from your base station
(transponder). This range can vary, depending on the location of the transponder,
building construction, etc.
THE CORDEESS HANDY TELEPHONE SYSTEM consists of an electronic base
station with a built-in charger and a light weight compact push button handset.
The base station transponder operates from a standard 120/220 volt AC electric outlet.
Connection to the telephone line is accomplished by simply plugging the base station
connection into a standard modular telephone extension outlet. The light weight
handset is powered by heavy-duty nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries.
NOTE: The batteries in your handset should be charged 8 to 10 hours before using
the system.
Under normal use the batteries will last for years as long as you follow the
simple use and storage directions contained in this manual.
NOTE; The model and serial numbers of THE CORDLESS HANDY TEEEPHONE
SYSTEM components are located on metal plates attached to the bottom of
the base unit and the bottom of the handset. These numbers should be
recorded and retained for future reference.
Base station: Model No. Serial No.
Handset: Model No. Serial No.
UNPACKING
Carefully remove all units from the shipping carton. If there is any visible damage,
DO NOT attempt to operate the equipment. Notify the retail outlet immediately.
Keep the shipping carton and packing materials, as well as printed material. The
carton serves as the best container to transport THE CORDEESS HANDY TEEEPHONE
SYSTEM to other locations.

GENERAL INFORMATION
THE CORDLESS HANDY TELEPHONE operates on the principal of a two way radio.
Just like the two way radio, the location of the base station will determine range of
reception. In an ordinary house, the MINIMUM range would be obtained by locating
the base station underground (such as in a -basement), while the MAXIMUM range
would be obtained by locating the base station in the highest area of the house.
The base station requires connection to a standard 120/220 volt AC electric outlet and
to a standard modular telephone extension outlet.
If no location in your home or business offers both of these outlets, or if you do not
have a modular telephone extension outlet in your home or business, you will have to
contact your local telephone company to have one installed. There is usually a nominal
charge for this service.
NOTE: If there is no electrical outlet close enough to an existing telephone extension
outlet, a standard electrical extension cord of appropriate length may be used
to connect the base station to 120/220 volt AC power.
SPECIAL INSTALLATIONS
Since the Cordless Handy Telephone uses the AC power line as part of the antenna to
transmit a portion of your conversation, we recommend.
We recommend that for the best possible reception, you keep your power cord
streched out flat and do not coil it up.
In some rare cases, the wiring for your electric outlets are inside metal tubing, there
fore, reducing your broadcasting range. If this is the case, you can correct the situation
by using a 25 feet extension cord streched out from the base station to the AC outlet.
CHARGING THE CORDLESS
HANDY TELEPHONE HANDSET
Do not use the cordless handy telephone before charging batteries 8 to 10 hours, place
hand unit power switch in off position and place in base unit cradle for recomend-
ed charging time. For superior performance repeat charging procedure when battery low
light illuminates.
When the batteries are adequately charged, the Battery Low light on the handset
will be off.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ABOUT RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
It will take 3 to 5 recharges to bring your batteries to full power. This is a general
characteristic of rechargeable batteries.
The correct procedure to charge the batteries is as follows:
1)Turn the power switch to off on the handset.
2) Place handset on the base unit and charge for 8 to 10 hours.
3) Take handset off of the base unit.
4) Turn power on until the battery low light appears.
5) Repeat procedure 3 times for optimum performance.
From then on, simply charge as needed.
If you store your telephone for long periods (unused), it is best to charge the batteries
at least once every 90 days of non-use in order to maintain a charged condition and
avoid battery failure. If this is not done, the initial charging instructions must be
followed to rejuvenate your telephone batteries. If it is not followed, you may find the
telephone will only work for a short period. Following the original charging instructions
you should be able to bring the batteries back to full power.
While each system is impossible to predict, you should be able to recharge your batteries
from 500 to as many as 900 times. When your batteries fail, replacement batteries
are available from the SANYO PARTS DEPARTMENT.

HOW TO CONNECT THE CORDLESS
HANDY TELEPHONE TO THE TELEPHONE LINE
Modular Jack
If you have the new modular jacks, simply plug THE CORDLESS HANDY TELE
PHONE into one of them. If you want to use a T-adaptor for both, your present
telephone and THE CORDLESS HANDY TELEPHONE, you may call your telephone
company and order a USOC RJA 2X. You can pick it up at the telephone company
office or they can mail it to you for a nominal deposit or charge. You could also
purchase one from an electronical store or your dealer.
4-Prong Jack
You may have the older 4-prong extension jack. If so, order adaptor number USOC
RJA IX from the telephone company to convert to the new modular jack or you can
purchase one from an electronical store or your dealer.
If you do not have extension jacks, call your telephone company business office and
request installation of a standard modular jack for your registered unit. Give them the
FCC registration number on the bottom of the unit. The USOC jack code for a single
line phone is RJ 1IC.

If you have a multi-line business type telephone, call your telephone company business
office and request installation of a standard modular jack for your registered unit. Give
them the FCC registration number on the bottom of the unit. The USOC code for
most key telephone installations is RJ 13C. Some type of PBXs require a USOC RJ 12C.
Your telephone company business office should be able to tell you which one is
appropriate for you, depending upon the type of equipment you have.

FCC regulations require that you notify the telephone company when you connect
your own equipment to the telephone line. Simply call your business office and notify
them that you have connected a registered device to the telephone line and give them
the following information:
a. The particular telephone number to which THE CORDLESS HANDY TELE
PHONE will be connected.
b. FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (found on the bottom
of the unit).
If you have either a party line or pay phone, the telephone company will not allow
installation because cordless telephone will not work correctly with these types of
systems.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using THE CORDLESS HANDY TELEPHONE is simple and easy. Assuming the base
station is properly installed and the handset batteries are fully charged.
1. Extend the base station antenna fully in a vertical position.
2. Place the handset TALK/STANDBY/OFF switch to the STANDBY position (slide).
Fully extend the antenna on the handset.
You are now ready to receive or make calls.
TO ANSWER AN INCOMING CALL
When a call is received, the handset will emit an audio tone.
1. Place the TALK/STANDBY/OFF switch to the TALK position.
2. Use the handset like a regular telephone handset.
3. When the call has ended, switch the TALK/STANDBY/OFF to STANDBY position
and you are ready to receive the next call.
NOTE:
1. Sometimes a slight delay between the ringing of your regular telephone and the
electronic audio tone may be noticed. This is normal.
2. If you are "out of range", THE CORDLESS HANDY TELEPHONE will not activate.
To check any location, or the condition of the rod antenna, move the TALK/
STANDBY/OFF switch to the TALK position. If you hear a dial tone, you are in
range and you will receive incoming calls.
TO PLACE AN OUTGOING CALL
1. Fully extend the antenna on the remote handset.
2. Place the TALK/STANDBY/OFF switch to the TALK positon.
3. Wait for a dial tone, then simply select the number you wish to call by pressing the

OPERATIONAL INFORMATION
THE CORDLESS HANDY TELEPHONE uses radio frequencies to allow mobility.
There are certain characteristics involved in using radio frequencies with a telephone
which differ from a standard wired telephone. While they are normal, the following
characteristics could possibly affect operation of your system.
1. NOISE
Electrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This is most
intense during electrical storms. Certain types of electrical equipment such as light
dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, fans, etc. can also generate these noise pulses.
Because radio frequencies are susceptible to these noises, on occasion, you may hear
these noises in your handset. They generally are a minor annoyance. They are
normal, and should not be interpreted as a defective operation of your system.
2. RANGE : IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Because radio frequency operation is used, the range can vary from location to
location. Location of the base station can affect operation and range. Try several
locations in your home. You may increase the usable range by using different AC
outlets within your home or business. Pick the location that gives you the clearest
signal at the locations you desire.
Turning around in a circle while holding the handset can also increase the range.
3. INTERFERENCE : IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Electronic circuits activate a relay to connect THE CORDLESS HANDY TELE
PHONE to your telephone line. These electronic circuits operate in the radio fre
quency spectrum. While several protection circuits are used to prevent unwanted
signals, there may be periods when these unwanted signals could enter the base
station. You may hear clicks or hear the relay activate though you are not using the
cordless handset. If this occurs frequently, it usually can be minimized or eliminated
by lowering the height on your base transponder antenna or relocating the trans
ponder to another location in your house.
You can check for this before selecting your final base transponder location by
plugging it in.
No two systems "should be operated within a close proximity of each other because
interference may occur. This potential condition can be reduced by lowering your
base station antenna, thereby reducing range. Another correction is to change the
channel of your system. This can be done by our Service Department. A cost
estimate for this service will be made upon request.
4. MALFUNCTIONS
Although it is not likely, should a malfunction of your base station occur, it should
be disconnected from the telephone line until proper repairs are completed.
The base station of your system has been approved by the FCC as not being harmful
to the telephone system and there is no reason why it should cause any harm.
However, if for whatever reason, harm was caused, your telephone company may
temporarily disconnect your telephone service.
They are required by law to give you advange notice of this unless circumstances
cause it to be impractical to do so. If circumstances cause them to temporarily
disconnect your telephone service without prior notice, they are then required:
A. To promptly notify you and to give you an opportunity to correct the situation.
B. Advise you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC against them.
