FCC REQUIREMENTS  
USER INSTRUCTIONS  
PAGE  
36  
1. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the bottom of this equipment is a label  
that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number  
(REN) for this equipment. If requested, provide this information to your telephone company.  
2. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and  
still have all of those devices ring when your number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of  
the RENs of all devices should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may  
connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should call your local telephone company to  
determine the maximum REN for your calling area.  
3. If your answering machine causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may  
discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice  
isn't practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be advised of your right to file a  
complaint with the FCC.  
4. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures  
that could affect the proper operation of your equipment. If they do, you will be given advance notice  
so as to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.  
5. If there is a problem with this unit, the telephone company may ask you to disconnect this equipment  
from the network until the problem has been corrected or you are sure that the equipment is not  
malfunctioning.  
6. Repairs can only be made by the manufacturer or an authorized service agency. Unauthorized  
repairs void registration and warranty. Contact seller or manufacturer for details of permissible user-  
performed routine repairs, and where and how to have other than routine repairs made.  
7. This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to  
party lines is subject to state tariffs. (Contact your state public utility commission or corporation  
commission for information.)

You hear continuous short beeps instead of a dial tone when using the cordless handset.  
The beep tones are a warning alarm to let you know:  
1. That the handset is out of communication range with the base unit. Move the  
handset closer to your base unit.  
2. That the base unit had some problem like a power failure. Return the handset to  
the base unit for 5 seconds and make sure all cords are connected correctly.  
Interference Noise is heard.  
1. The handset is too far from the base unit.  
2. The cordless handset is picking up interference from one of several sources: electrical  
appliances such as radio, TV, fluorescent lights, etc. Move the base unit to reduce interference.  
3. Press CHANNEL to select another channel.  
No Page Tone is heard at the Handset.  
1. Check the AC ADAPTER and telephone cord connection.  
2. You may have had a power failure. Return the handset to the base unit for 5 seconds  
to reset the Digital Security Code.  
A beep is heard each time the handset is returned to the base unit.  
This is normal operation. The handset is updating the security code.  
After several attempts the TC-520 will not operate properly.  
Unplug the AC ADAPTER PLUG from the back of the TC-520 for 10 seconds. Remove the  
batteries from the handset. Plug the AC Adapter back into the base station and re-insert the  
batteries in the handset. Return the handset to the base unit for 10 seconds.  
If these actions do not remedy the problem, call the CASIO PHONEMATE Helpline. The helpline  
staff can often resolve problems or recommend service when needed. Unless you live close to a  
CASIO PHONEMATE Service Center, you may need to mail your machine to CASIO PHONEMATE  
for repair. You should:  
1. Package the unit in its original box or a comparable package.  
2. Include a clear and specific explanation of the problem.  
3. Include your name, address, and phone number.  
4. Provide a legible photocopy of the dated store receipt for warranty purposes.

LIMITED WARRANTY  
33  
IMPORTANT!  
SALES SLIP OR EVIDENCE OF PURCHASE DATE REQUIRED  
This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may also have other rights which vary  
from state to state.  
The limited warranty is extended only to the original consumer of a CASIO PHONEMATE  
product and is valid only with respect to consumers within the United States of America and  
Canada. Subject to the following conditions, should this product prove defective by reason of  
improper workmanship of material:  
During the period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase, CASIO PHONEMATE will  
repair or, at its option, replace the product without charge for parts or labor. If CASIO  
PHONEMATE elects to replace the product, such replacement may be accomplished with a  
factory-reconditioned unit.  
This limited warranty does not apply: (a) to any product damaged by accident, misuse, improper  
line voltage, lightning, fire, water, or other acts of nature, (b) if the product is altered or repaired  
by anyone other than CASIO PHONEMATE, INC. or one of its authorized warranty stations or if  
the FCC-approved connector plugs are removed. This limited warranty does not cover tapes or  
broken or marred cabinets.  
Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, all implied warranties made by CASIO  
PHONEMATE in connection with this product are limited in duration to a period of one (1) year  
from the date of original purchase, and no warranties, whether expressed or implied, shall apply  
to this product after said period.  
Should this product prove defective in workmanship or material, the consumer’s sole remedies  
shall be such repair or replacement as is herein-above provided. Under no circumstances shall  
CASIO PHONEMATE be liable for any loss or damage, direct, consequential, or incidental  
arising out of the use of or inability to use this product.  
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or  
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusion may not  
apply to you.  
In order to obtain warranty service, you must provide evidence of purchase date. For your con-  
venience, keep the dealer’s dated bill of sale or delivery ticket as evidence of the purchase date.

causes a surge through your phone line, the arrestor will help suppress the surge of electricity  
which may cause damage to your unit.  
To purchase your Lightning Arrestor, use the attached Accessory Order Form or call CASIO

CLEANING  
31  
CLEANING  
THE BASE UNIT  
CAUTION: Play messages before cleaning  
and then disconnect the TC-520 from the  
power outlet.  
To assure high performance, periodically  
clean the tape heads and capstan whenever  
you notice an accumulation of dust and red-  
brown oxide particles. Use a cotton swab  
moistened with isopropyl alcohol. Be sure no  
alcohol touches rubber parts, as it tends to dry  
and eventually crack the rubber. Use a damp  
cloth or sponge to clean the cabinet. A mild  
soap, like dishwashing detergent, will help  
remove grease or oil. Do not spray cleaners  
directly onto the machine. Cleaners should  
only be used on the plastic surfaces. If they  
get into the mechanism or speaker, they may  
damage the machine.  
CLEANING  
THE HANDSET  
CAUTION: Disconnect the TC-520 from the  
power outlet before cleaning.  
Clean the battery charging contacts on the base  
unit and the handset with a soft cloth once a  
month. Clean the antenna, and the plastic  
cabinet of the base unit and the handset, with a  
soft cloth only. Do not use excess water or  
cleaning liquid of any kind.

MOVING THE TC-520  
To relocate the TC-520, unplug the AC ADAPTER from the wall outlet for no more than 3  
minutes. CAUTION: If the AC ADAPTER PLUG is disconnected from the back of the TC-520, all  
memory (time/day setting, autodial numbers, last number redial) will be erased.  
SINGLE TAPE SYSTEM  
The TC-520 is a single cassette answering machine. Your outgoing and incoming messages are  
stored on one microcassette. With this design, it is normal operation for the tape to reset before  
callers can leave a message. If you have several long messages on the tape, it could take a few  
seconds for the tape to reposition itself and for the TC-520 to record new messages. The caller  
will hear a continuous tone while the tape resets.  
AUTO EXTENSION DISCONNECT  
You can answer a call from any extension phone connected to the same line as the TC-520. Pick  
up any extension phone after the TC-520 has answered the call. The unit will automatically stop  
playing your outgoing message or recording a message. If it does not stop, quickly tap the hook-  
switch on the extension phone without disconnecting the caller.  
CHANGING CHANNELS  
After TALK is pressed, the TC-520 selects the best available channel. If you hear noise or  
interference while using the TC-520, press CHANNEL on the handset to change channels.  
CHARGING/LINE IN-USE INDICATOR  
The CHARGING/LINE IN-USE INDICATOR lights when someone is using an extension  
phone or the cordless handset. The indicator reduces unwanted interruptions.

IMPORTANT CORDLESS  
P3AGE  
TELEPHONE INFORMATION  
Interference Information  
Cordless telephone equipment generates and receives radio waves and, if not installed and used properly, may pick  
up interference. To prevent interference:  
Avoid locations such as heating appliances, electrical equipment (e.g., fluorescent lamp, TV, radio,  
refrigerator, computer), places subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, moisture, vibration, etc.  
Locate the base unit in a high place in the house (such as the second floor) in order to receive the most  
effective communication range. Fully extend the base unit antenna.  
Notice: This cordless telephone uses radio communications between the handset and the base unit,  
and may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices including other cordless telephones  
may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephone or cause noise during operation. Cordless  
telephones must not cause interference to any licensed radio service.  
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-Cadmium Rechargeable, 3.6 volts, 250-300 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  
CONTAINS: NICKEL-CADMIUM  
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY.  
MUST BE RECYCLED OR  
DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.  
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.  
Ni-Cd  
The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.  
Charge the Handset Batteries Before Using the Cordless Telephone  
The batteries lose their charge during shipping and storage. Be sure to charge the batteries before you use the  
TC-520 cordless telephone. Place the handset in the base unit. The CHARGING/LINE IN-USE INDICATOR will  
light. Leave the handset in the base unit for 12-15 hours. (See page 14.)  
Digital Security Code  
The Digital Security Coding System automatically resets a new personal security code to one of over 256  
combinations every time you return the TC-520 handset to the base unit. (Whenever the handset is returned to the  
base unit you will hear a beep.) The security code prevents unauthorized use of your telephone line, false rings  
and false dialing. (US. Patent No. 5,073,932)  
Ultra Clear® Noise Reduction Circuit  
The TC-520 is equipped with Ultra Clear® Noise Reduction Circuitry (Compander Circuit). It reduces background  
noise—reception is superior to conventional cordless telephones.  
25 Channels with Optimum Channel Memory (OCMTM  
)
The TC-520 has 25 channels with Optimum Channel Memory. Optimum Channel Memory provides fast and clear  
channel selection. The scanning circuit scans all 25 channels in your neighborhood to find the best available  
channel. Once it finds the clear channels it selects and remembers the three best ones. When you press “Talk” to  
call out or receive a call, the unit automatically provides you with the best channel. Whenever you place the  
handset in the base unit for 2 seconds or more, the unit updates its memory. Press CHANNEL if you wish to  
change channels manually. (U.S. Patents 5,197,093 & 5,418,839)
