Before you can use your cordless telephone, you must charge the HANDSET for
12 hours. Failure to do so will require more frequent charging of the BATTERY
PACK.
NOTE:
Depending on the frequency of use, once the HANDSET is fully charged, it remains
func-tional for approximately 6 hours of continuous use and approximately 6 days when the
HANDSET is off the BASE UNIT in STANDBY mode.

Recharging the BATTERYPACK
The nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) BATTERY PACK in the HANDSET can be
recharged many times using the built-in charger in the BASE UNIT.
When the BATT LOW LED indicator starts to blink rapidly, a “beep”sound will be
heard every 12 seconds. This indicates that the BATTERY PACK needs to be
recharged.
Charge the BATTERY PACK at least once every 90 days of non-use to avoid battery
failure. When the BATTERY PACK can no longer be charged, replacement of the
BATTERY PACK will be necessary.
NOTES:
1. During a power interruption, the BASE UNIT does not operate, and a
phone conversation cannot be made on the HANDSET.
2. To ensure your phone charges properly, place the HANDSET on the
BASE UNIT and make sure that the CHARGE LED indicator on the BASE
UNIT lights up and a “beep” confirmation tone is heard.
Changing the BATTERY PACK
The BATTERY PACK provides power for theHANDSET of your cordless telephone.
To Replace the BATTERYPACK:
1. Remove theHANDSET BATTERYCOMPARTMENTCOVERbysliding itdown.
2. Pull out the BATTERY PACK PLUG and remove the BATTERY PACK.
3. Plug the new BATTERY PACK into the BATTERY CONNECTOR.
4. Slide the HANDSET BATTERYCOMPARTMENT COVER firmlyinto place in

ally, this noise is a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect in your
system. (See Technical Information on page 16.)
2. Choose an alternate channel using the CH (CHANNEL) button on the HANDSET.
Excessstatic,checkthefollowing:
1. Check to see that the ANTENNA is not touching another metal object.
If after pressing the TALK button, you receive three “beeps”and no dial tone, check the
following:
1. BASE UNIT is plugged into a power source.
2. If you had a power failure or had unplugged theBASE UNIT, replace theHANDSET on the

none of the telephones are causing the problem. If you still have a problem after doing this,
and your telephone still does not work, please contact your local phone company.

Technical Information
This cordless telephone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are
certain difficulties in using radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. While
these are normal, the following could affect the operation of your system.
Noise
Electrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise
is most intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment
such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, and fans also generate noise
pulses. Because radio frequencies are susceptible to these noise pulses, you
may occasionally hear them in your HANDSET. Generally they are a minor
annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect in your system.
Range
Because radio frequency is used, the location of the BASE UNIT can affect the
operating range. Try several locations in your home or office and pick the one that
gives you the clearest signal to theHANDSET.
Interference
Electronic circuits activate a relay to connect the cordless telephone to your
telephone line. These electronic circuits operate in the radio frequency spectrum.
While several protection circuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there may
be periods when these unwanted signals enter the BASE UNIT. You may hear
clicks or hear the relay activate while you are not using the HANDSET. If the
interference occurs frequently, it can be minimized or eliminated by relocating the
BASE UNIT. You can check for interference before selecting the final BASE UNIT
location by plugging in the telephone.
NOTICE:
This cordless telephone uses radio communication between the HANDSET and
the BASE UNIT and may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices,
includingother cordless telephones, may interfere with theoperation of this cordless
telephone or cause noise during operation. Units not containing coded access
may be accessed by other radio communication systems. Cordless telephones
must not cause interference to any licensed radio service.

BASE UNIT of this equipment contains, among other information, the ACTA
Product Number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this
equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your
telephone company.
3. The REN is also useful in determining the quantity of devices that you
may connect to your telephone line and still allow these devices to ring
when your telephone number is called. In most areas, but not all, the sum
of the RENs for all devices connected to one line should not exceed five
(5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect to your
line, you should contact your local telephone company.
4. If your telephone causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company may temporarily disconnect your service. If possible, they will
notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be
required. However, when advanced written notice is not possible, the
telephone company may temporarily discontinue service without notice if
such action is necessary under the circumstances.

FCCRequirements

RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER
NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device
provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be
connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of
any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the
ringer equivalence numbers of all devices does not exceed 5.
CAUTION:
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should
contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
