INTRODUCTION
Your cordless telephone is designed to give you flexibility in use and high
quality performance. To get the most from your new cordless telephone,
we suggest that you take a few minutes right now to read through this
instruction manual.
CORDLESS PHONE INFORMATION
• Digital Security System
When you place the Handset in the base, the unit verifies it’s security code
which prevents false ringing from other cordless telephones. After a
power outage or battery replacement, you should place the Handset in the
base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.
• IMPORTANT: This Should Not Be The Only Phone in Your Home
Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should have at least
one phone in your home that is not cordless, in case the power in your
home goes out.
CALLER ID INFORMATION
This device allows you to take advantage of the Caller Identification
Delivery with Call Waiting service that may be available from your local
telephone company. If you do not have this service already installed, you
must contact your local telephone company to arrange to have this service
installed on your line. There is an extra charge to your monthly telephone
bill for this service.

MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS
You need an RJ11C, type modular jack, which is the
most common type of phone jack and might look like
the one pictured here. If you don’t have a modular
jack, call your local phone company to find out how to
get one installed.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent
such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed
near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference continues, moving the cordless
telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the
interference.
5
HANDSET SETUP
1. Remove the battery compartment door.
2. Insert the battery into the compartment.
3. Install the battery compartment door.
4. Plug the power supply cord into the 9V
DC jack on the base and into an AC
outlet.
5. Place the handset in the base (facing
either up or down) to charge for 12
hours.
a) Base Unit on Desk – Charging of
handset can be done with handset facing
either Up or Down.
b) Base Unit at Wall Mount – Charging of
handset can be done ONLY in face-up
position.
IMPORTANT: If you do not charge the
handset battery properly (for 12 hours)
when you first set up the phone, the
battery’s long-term performance will be
compromised.
IMPORTANT: Return the
handset to the base unit for
at least 3 minutes once a
week to reestablish the
phone’s communication
link. This procedure is also
useful if you find it difficult
getting the phone to go off
hook.

CHANGING THE BATTERY
Your cordless handset is powered by a nickel cadmium battery pack
(#5-2419). The battery pack needs to be recharged periodically. A fully charged
battery gives you approximately 4 hours of talk time or 7 days of stand-by
time. Return the handset to the base whenever possible to keep the battery
adequately charged.
The handset runs on a consumer-replaceable, nickel-cadmium battery pack. If
you experience any of the following problems, you may need to replace the
battery pack: short talk time, poor sound quality, limited range, CHARGE/IN
USE light fails to light. Make sure phone is OFF before you replace battery.
1. Remove the battery compartment
door.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Insert the new battery into the
compartment on the back of the
handset.
4. Replace the battery compartment
door.
5. Return the handset to the base unit
for at least 12 hours to adequately
charge a new battery pack.
