device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the
installation of the cordless phone does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions
about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or qualified installer.
CAUTION: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, place the base unit at
least 20cm (approximately 8 in) from nearby persons.
For body-worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC exposure guidelines
when used with the belt clip supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Charging the Handset Battery
The handset of your cordless telephone is powered by a rechargeable NiMH battery pack.
Place the handset in the charger to power the battery pack. The battery-charging icon
appears on the handset display while it is in the charger.
The initial battery charge time is 10–12 hours. After the initial charge, a maintenance charge
of eight hours should be sufficient. Be sure to place the handset in the charger when it is
not in use to ensure maximum daily performance.
If your handset displays a LOW BATTERY message, or the handset appears completely
inactive (the LCD is blank and does not activate when you press the keys), charge the
handset.
NOTE: When in LOW BATTERY mode, the keypad sounds, backlighting, and
speakerphone features will not work. The features are fully functional after you recharge
the battery.
