Installation

Digital Security System

Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false ringing,

unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.

INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies

that may cause or receive interference with nearby TVs, microwave ovens,

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, microwave

ovens, or VCR. If such interference continues, move the cordless telephone

farther away from these appliances.

Certain other communications devices may also use the 1.9GHz DECT

frequency for communication, and, if not properly set, these devices may

interfere with each other and/or your new telephone. If you are concerned

with interference, please refer to the owner’s manual for these devices on

how to properly set channels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may

use the 1.9GHz DECT frequency for communication include wireless

audio/video senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless

telephone systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.

Important Installation Guidelines

• Avoid sources of noise and heat, such as motors, fluorescent lighting,

microwave ovens, heating appliances and direct sunlight.

• Avoid areas of excessive dust, moisture and low temperature.

• Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically

designed for wet locations.

• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the telephone

line has been disconnected at the network interface.

Intercom Operation

(applicable only with additional handsets)

The intercom feature allows you to have a conversation with another registered

handset without tying up the telephone line, allowing you to still receive incoming

calls.

Making an Auto Intercom Call

1. Make sure the handset is OFF (not in TALK mode).

2. Press the delete/int/conf button on the handset.

3. Use the touch-tone pad to select the handset you want to page.

NOTES:

a) If the user has not entered the paged handset number within a few

seconds, the handset displays a paged handset number list (i.e. Handset 2,

Handset 3, Handset 4, Handset 5 and Handset 6) if Handset 1 is paging the

handset.

b) Even if the handset has not been registered with all 6 handsets, the

paging list displays all handset numbers.

c) If the user has selected a paged handset number that has not been

registered, the handset emits an error tone and ask the user to retry again.

4. A long beep is heard and then the two handsets are immediately connected.

Receiving handset shall immediately come into the auto intercom mode that both

“microphone” and “speaker” of this receiving handset shall be enabled such that

the user of receiving handset can freely talk and listen to the conversation.

5. When finished, press the END button or delete/int/conf button on either

handset to deactivate the intercom.

NOTE: The system is expandable up to 6 handsets (by purchase of optional

Model 28203 handset with recharge cradle). When 4 handsets are registered,

the system can handle 2 separate intercom operations at once, for example,

1st handset intercoms with 2nd handset while 3rd handset intercoms with

4th handset.

Advanced Intercom Features

Receiving an Incoming Call During an Intercom Call

If you receive a telephone call during an intercom call, an incoming call alert tone

will be heard (through the earpiece or speaker). If the user wants to answer an

incoming call, they must press END to terminate the intercom and receive an

incoming ring.

Using Intercom with External Telephone Calls

During a telephone call, you may use the intercom/paging function to page

another handset and have an off line, private (two-way) intercom conversation.

You may also have a three-way conversation between the external caller and the

handsets, or you may transfer the external telephone call to another handset.

NOTE: Before you intercom/page another handset, you must decide

whether you want to create a two-way or a three-way conversation.

Two-Way Calling

1. During an external call, press the delete/int/conf button, and use the

touch-tone pad to enter the handset number to put an external line on hold. The

user may then auto intercom with the paged handset.

NOTE: Both intercom users may speak privately. The

external caller will not hear the intercom conversation.

2. When finished, press the END button to end the intercom call, return to the talk

mode, and resume your original telephone conversation.

Three-Way Calling

1. During an external call, press the delete/int/conf button. The screen displays

LINE ON HOLD EXTENSION?

paged handset.

3. When the receiving handset connects, press the delete/int/conf button on the

originating handset to conference with the receiving handset and the external

caller. The screen displays CONFERENCE on the originating and receiving

handsets.

NOTE: A handset can enter conference mode directly by pressing

TALK/SPEAKER on the second handset during a call.

Transferring External Calls to Other Handsets

During an external call, you may transfer the external call to another handset.

“microphone” and “speaker” of this receiving handset shall be enabled such that

the user of receiving handset can freely talk and listen to the conversation.

3. When the receiving handset connects, press the END button on the originating

handset to transfer the call.

Caller ID (CID)

IMPORTANT: In order to use this unit’s Caller ID features, you must

subscribe to either the standard Name/Number Caller ID Service or Call

Waiting Caller ID Service. To know who is calling while you are on the

phone, you must subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID Service.

This unit receives and displays information transmitted by your local phone

company. This information can include the phone number, date, and time; or the

name, phone number, date, and time.

Call Waiting Caller ID

Provided you subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID service from your phone

company; if you receive an incoming call and you are using the GE multi handset

system, a beep indicates the presence of a Call Waiting call on the line. The Call

Waiting Caller ID information will be displayed and stored in the history of all

handsets in the system.

• When you hear the call waiting beep in the handset receiver, press the flash

button to put the current call on hold and answer the incoming call. Press the

flash button to return to the original call.

Receiving CID Records

When you receive a call, the Caller ID information is transmitted between the first

and second ring. The Caller ID information appears on the display while the

phone rings, giving you a chance to monitor the information and decide whether

or not to answer the call.

Storing CID Records (In CID Memory)

If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone’s Caller ID memory

stores the data for the 40 most recent calls you received so you can see who

called while you were unavailable. When the 41st call is received, the oldest Caller

ID record (1st call) is automatically deleted.

You may review the stored information at any time. Calls received since your last

review show as in the display.
