Battery Safety
CAUTION:
Danger of explosion if the BATTERY PACK is incorrectly replaced. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type. To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury,
read and follow these instructions:
1. Use only the following type and size of BATTERY PACK:
Cordless Telephone BATTERY PACK
3.6V, 600mAh
U.S. Electronics Inc.

(See page 29 for ordering information.)
2. Do not dispose of the BATTERY PACK in a fire. It may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the BATTERY PACK. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. Electrolyte may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling the BATTERY PACK to prevent shorting the BATTERY PACK
with conductive materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. The BATTERY PACK or
conductor may overheat and cause burns.
5. Charge the BATTERY PACK provided with (or identified for use with) this telephone only
in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.
6. Observe proper polarity orientation between the BATTERY PACK and BATTERY CHARGER.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION:
The telephone that you have purchased contains a rechargeable BATTERY PACK. At the end
of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this
BATTERY PACK into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials
for details in your area for proper disposal.

Battery Type
Use the following type and size of BATTERY PACK:
Cordless Telephone BATTERY PACK
3.6V, 600mAh
U.S. Electronics Inc.
Ni-Mh Battery Pack: model B655
This BATTERY PACK is available through:
U.S. Electronics Service Center
105 Madison Avenue
New York, NY 10016
1-800-825-5208
NOTE: During a power interruption, the BASE UNIT does not operate, and a phone conversation
cannot be made on the HANDSET.
Recharging the Battery Pack
The nickel metal hydride (Ni-Mh) BATTERY PACK in the HANDSET can be recharged many
times using the built-in charger in the BASE UNIT.
When the BATT LOW symbol appears on the LCD Screen, a “beep“ sound will be heard every 10
seconds. This indicates that the BATTERY PACK needs to be recharged.
Charge the BATTERY PACK at least once every 90 days of non-use to avoid battery failure. 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 symbol
appears on the LCD Screen. When the BATT LOW symbol appears on the LCD Screen, charge
the HANDSET fully for 12 hours.
Recharging the BATTERY PACK
IMPORTANT
In order to get maximum life from the HANDSET
BATTERY PACK, be sure to charge the HANDSET for 12
hours before initial use.

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
IMPORTANT
When you hear interference, press the
SCAN button to change the operating
channel.
33
Federal Communications Commission Requirements
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. A label on the BASE UNIT of the
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 its
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, its use should be discontinued until the problem has been corrected.
FCC Requirements
IMPORTANT
In order to get maximum life from the HANDSET
battery pack, be sure to charge the HANDSET for 12
hours before initial use.
IMPORTANT
Placing your BASE UNIT near appliances such as
televisions, refrigerators, radios, or microwave ovens
may cause interference.
34

low warning tone tells you when the BATTERY PACK needs recharging. (See page 29.)

until you activate the TALK button.
Battery Power Saver - Once fully charged, in STANDBY mode, the HANDSET can receive/send calls for
a maximum of five days without the need for recharging. Length of charge depends on
frequency of use.

TELEPHONE KEYPAD buttons.
