When the BATTERY PACK can no longer be charged, replacement of the BATTERY PACK will
be necessary.
The BATTERY PACK used in your telephone may develop a condition known as “MEMORY”.
Once subjected to a regular short discharging routine, the BATTERY PACK assumes the
discharging pattern it was subjected to. This is known as a “MEMORY” condition which
causes rapid discharging thereby shortening the BATTERY PACK charge span. If you believe
your BATTERY PACK has developed a “MEMORY” condition, do not charge the HANDSET
until the BATT LOW LED indicator comes on. When it does come on, charge the HANDSET fully
for 12 hours.

Technical Information
This cordless telephone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certain difficulties
in using radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. While these are normal, the following
could affect the operation of your system.
Noise
Electrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise is most
intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment such as light dimmers,
fluorescent bulbs, motors, and fans also generate noise pulses. Because radio frequencies
are susceptible to these noise pulses, you may occasionally hear them in your HANDSET.
Generally they are a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect in your
system.
Range
Because radio frequency is used, the location of the BASE UNIT can affect the operating
range. Try several locations in your home or office and pick the one that gives you the clearest
signal to the HANDSET.
Interference
Electronic circuits activate a relay to connect the cordless telephone to your telephone line.
These electronic circuits operate in the radio frequency spectrum. While several protection
circuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these unwanted
signals enter the BASE UNIT. You may hear clicks or hear the relay activate while you are not
using the HANDSET. If the interference occurs frequently, it can be minimized or eliminated by
relocating the BASE UNIT. You can check for interference before selecting the final BASE
UNIT location by plugging in the telephone.
NOTICE:
This cordless telephone uses radio communication between the HANDSET and the BASE
UNIT and may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices, including another cordless
telephones, may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephone or cause noise during
operation. Units not containing coded access may be accessed by other radio communication
systems. Cordless telephones must not cause interference to any licensed radio service.
Technical Information
20

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. A label on the BASE UNIT of this
equipment contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and the Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information
to your telephone company.
The REN is also useful in determining the number of devices that you may connect to your
telephone line and still allow all of these devices to ring when your telephone number is called.
In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not
exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect to your line,
contact your local telephone company.
If your equipment should cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may
temporarily disconnect your service. If possible, they will notify you in advance that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required. However, when advance written notice is not
possible, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service without notice if such
action is necessary under the circumstances. The telephone company may make changes in
its communication facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures where such action is
reasonably required in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and
regulations of the Federal Communications Commission.
Do not attempt to repair or modify this equipment.
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user´s authority to operate the equipment.
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TV,s
and VCR,s. To minimize or prevent such interference, the BASE UNIT of the cordless telephone
should not be placed on or near 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.
This equipment should not be used on coin telephone lines. Connection to party line service is
subject to state tariffs. If trouble is experienced, disconnect this equipment from the telephone
line to determine if it is causing the malfunction. If the equipment is determined to be malfunctioning,

send calls for a maximum of five days without the need for recharging. Length of charge
