Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most sophisticated and versatile cordless
telephone systems available. To enjoy the best performance from the UNIT’s many features,
please read this Owner’s Guide carefully and save it for future reference.

INTRODUCTION TO YOUR
MULTI-HANDSET SYSTEM TELEPHONE
The unit is different from conventional cordless telephones. The base unit, when connected to
AC power and a telephone line, can support the operation of up to eight handsets. You can now
place a fully featured cordless handset anywhere in you home or office that you have AC power
to connect the handset chargers.
Since the system and the adjunct handsets (available separately) are system telephones, you
can enjoy advanced telephone features like handset to handset intercom and call transfer.
The system Directory holds up to 80 names and phone numbers, and can be accessed from any
of the handsets. All of your commonly dialed numbers can be quickly retrieved for easy, one-
touch dialing.
2.4 GHz FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) technology offers extended range, clarity
and digital security. A belt clip and headset jack (2.5 mm) provide handsfree convenience when
used with an optional headset.

jack on the back of the base unit and
the other end into your telephone wall
jack.
Connect the AC adapter to the back of
the base unit and plug into an electric
outlet.
INSTALL
THE HANDSET BATTERY
1Slide open the battery compartment
cover and connect the NiMH battery
pack as shown in the illustration at
the right.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
1Place the handset in the charging
cradle. Additional handsets will
include their own individual
charging cradles. The battery will
fully charge after approximately
10-12 hours.
INITIAL SETUP
SELECTING A LOCATION FOR THE BASE UNIT
The base unit needs AC power and connection to a telephone jack. This location should be as
central as possible in your home or office.
SELECTING A LOCATION FOR ADDITIONAL HANDSETS
Anywhere you have power will do! Avoid high humidity or high heat areas, and keep the
handsets out of extended exposure to direct sunlight. Handsets can be swapped in their
chargers at any time and can be placed anywhere within the extended transmission range of the
base.
For optimal performance, your phone's base unit should be installed as follows:
OPERATING DISTANCE/NOISE INTERFERENCE
NOTE:
While using the handset:
■If you are near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may be heard at the receiver.
Move away from the microwave oven and closer to the base unit.
■If more than one cordless phone is being used and your handset is near another cordless
phone's base unit, noise may be heard. Move away from the other cordless phone's base unit
and closer to your base unit.
Away from electrical appliances
such as a microwave oven, TV,
personal computer, or another
cordless phone.
In a HIGH and CENTRAL location with
no obstructions nearby.
WARNING
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the set to rain or moisture.
To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
CAUTION
1. Use batteries only intended for recharging. Use only the following battery pack:
Nickel Metal Hydride, 3.6 volts, 700 mAh.
2. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with local codes
for special disposal instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause
damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care when handling the battery(ies) in order not to short the battery(ies) with
conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may
overheat and cause burns.

AREA CODE
It is only necessary to enter your area code if
you choose the “Smart Dial”method for
dialing from Caller ID records (see “Dialing
Mode”section). The Smart dialing method
will compare the area code of the Caller ID
number to your local area code to determine
whether to dial 7 digits or 11 digits.
NOTE:
■Area Code programming will ONLY display when
“Smart Dial”is selected as the Dialing Method. If
any other method is selected, the Area Code
programming option will be hidden. Once the Area
Code has been set, it will remain in the system’s
memory, even if the option is hidden.
To enter your area code:
Press

DIALING MODE
When dialing from Caller ID records, the
unit can use one of the following four dialing
methods:
A) 7/10/11 Digit Dialing –For each call,
the unit will prompt you to choose
7-digit, 10-digit, or 11-digit dialing, based
on the local telephone company’s
requirements. This system is useful in
areas that sometimes require the user to
dial 10 or 11 digits for local dialing. When
dialing from a Caller ID record, the LCD
will display your choice of 7, 10, or 11
digits. Press “1”to initiate dialing using 7
digits, Press “2”for 10 digits, or Press “3”
for 11 digits.
B) All 11 Digit Dialing (Always 11)–For
each call, the unit will dial 11 digits (a “1”
and the area code, followed by the 7 digit
number).
C) Smart Dialing –For each call, the
unit will look at the Caller ID phone
number to see if the area code of the
number matches your local area code
(Note- this feature requires you to enter
your area code –see “Programming Area
Code”). If the area code does match, the
unit will dial only 7 digits. If it does not
match, the unit will dial 11 digits.
D) Exact Dialing –The unit will always dial
the exact digits that are displayed in the
CallerIDrecord.

system or if you live in an area prone to line
voltage irregularities, you may want to turn
this feature “Off”.
When LIU is set to “On”, line-in-use status
will be displayed as follows:

REVIEWING CALLER ID
RECORDS
The unit can store 50 of the most recent
Caller ID records. The records are stored in
the base unit and can be accessed by any
handset. Caller ID records are numbered
sequentially, in the order in which they are
received. When the 50 record memory is full,
the oldest record will be deleted automatically
each time a new record is received.
To view the Caller ID records stored in
memory:
Press
CID to enter the Caller ID
database. The LCD will display the
number of CID records:
Press ▲to view the most recent
record.
CALLER ID DISPLAY
If you have subscribed to Caller ID service
from your telephone company, each
handset’s display will show the telephone
number and the name of the incoming call (if
available), as well as the date and time the call
is received. The information will display on
the LCD while the phone is ringing (after
the first ring), and is then stored in the
unit’s Caller ID database.
CALLER ID SUBSCRIPTION
Caller ID is a subscription service available
from your telephone service provider. For the
Caller ID feature to work on the unit, you
must subscribe to the service.
To receive Caller ID information for a Call
Waiting call, you must subscribe to
combined Call Waiting Caller ID service from
your telephone service provider. Even if you
subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting
services separately, it is possible that you are
not subscribed to the combined service.
If a caller chooses to partially or completely
“block”Caller ID information, a message will
appear on the display indicating that the
name and/or phone has been blocked. The
call will display as a Caller ID record, showing
time and date information, and the message

The unit is programmed to automatically
condense all calls from the same phone
number within the same day as a single Caller
ID record. This feature saves memory and
prevents the Caller ID log from being filled
with duplicate records from frequent callers.
Each time that a repeat caller calls again
within the same calendar date, the unit will
condense the calls into one Caller ID record,
listing only the time of the most recent call.
When viewing a Caller ID record, press
MUTE to toggle to the screen that contains
the record number, the time and date of the
call, and the Repeat Counter. The Repeat
Counter is located in the upper right side of
the display. The number displayed in the
Repeat Counter indicates how many times the
repeat caller called that day. For example, if a
Caller ID record displays a Repeat count of
“3”, this indicates that the caller called 3
times that day.
REPEAT COUNTER
NOTE:
■You will never see a Repeat count of “1”, because
a call is not considered a Repeat until the caller
has called twice. A Repeat count of “0”indicates
that the Caller ID record is not a repeat call
because the caller only called one time.
