• Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly  
(page 7). For optimum daily performance, return the  
cordless handset to the telephone base after use.  
• Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an  
outlet not controlled by a wall switch.  
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into  
the telephone base and the modular wall jack.  
• Unplug the telephone’s electrical power. Wait for approx-  
imately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one  
minute for the cordless handset and base to synchronize.  
• Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least  
16 hours.  
• Remove and re-insert the battery. If that still does not  
work, it may be necessary to purchase a new battery.  
• Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack  
and plug in a working telephone. If this telephone does  
not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or the  
local service. Call the local telephone company.

• Place the handset in the base or charger for recharging.  
• Remove and re-install the battery and use it normally  
until fully discharged, then recharge the handset on the

• If the above measures do not correct the problem, the  
battery may need to be replaced.

Appendix  
Important safety instructions  
Especially About Cordless Telephones  
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless phone convenient create  
some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone  
base and handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cord-  
less phone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equip-  
ment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should  
not think of cordless phone conversations as being as private as those  
on corded phones.  
Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be  
connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be  
controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset if the  
telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power  
is interrupted.  
Power adapter: This power adapter is intended to be plugged into a vertical  
wall outlet or a floor outlet.  
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies  
that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such inter-  
ference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on  
top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone  
farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.  
Rechargeable batteries: This product contains either Nickel-Cadmium or  
Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batter-  
ies in order not to short the battery with conducting material such as rings,  
bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm.  
Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.  
Nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries: Must be recycled or disposed of  
properly. Do not dispose of in household garbage. Do not burn or puncture.  
Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release  
caustic material which could cause injury.  
The RBRCSeal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an  
industry program to collect and recycle nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries  
when taken out of service within the United States. These batteries may be taken  
to a participating local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you may call 1  
(800) 8 BATTERY for locations accepting spent nickel-cadmium Batteries.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers  
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones):  
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led  
a multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless  
telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food  
and Drug Administration, WTR had recommended to physicians that:  
Pacemaker patients  
• Should keep wireless phones at least six inches from the pacemaker.  
• Should NOT place wireless phones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a  
breast pocket, when it is turned ON.  
• Should use the wireless phone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.  
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from  
other persons using wireless phones.  
Especially about telephones answering systems  
Two-way recording:This telephone does not sound warning beeps to let the other  
party know that the call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance  
with any federal or state regulations regarding recording a telephone call, you  
should start the recording process and then inform the other party that you are  
recording the call.
