Recording Your Outgoing MessagesYour Answering System provides one PRIMARY MAILBOX and four individual MAILBOXES (1,2, 3, 4) which can receive their own Incoming Messages (ICM). Before using your AnsweringSystem, it is suggested that you record an Outgoing Message (OGM). This is theannouncement callers will hear when the system answers a call.A pre-recorded system announcement Please record your message after the beep isavailable if you choose not to record your own OGM.A. Recording your OGM in the PRIMARY MAILBOX1. Press and hold down the button to record your message.2. Begin speaking immediately after you hear, Please record your announcement after thebeep . Continue to depress the button. One second after completing your OGM,release the button. Your recorded message will be played after releasing the button.NOTE: Your OGM must be at least 3 seconds and no more than 30 seconds in length.If you wish to change your OGM, repeat steps 1 through 2.After recording an OGM, you can choose to use the pre-recorded announcement for yourAnswering System.1. Press the button, while the OGM is playing, press the button.2. After You have no announcement is played, the system generated Please record yourmessage after the beep will replace the locally recorded Answering System’s OGM.NOTE: To obtain a better sound quality for locally recorded (OGMs and Memos) messages,speak directly into the MICROPHONE from a distance of 9 to 12 inches.It is recommended that you record an OGM on your PRIMARY MAILBOX instructing a caller toleave an ICM in one of the four mailboxes. If the caller is using a Touchtone telephone, this willenable the caller to record an ICM directly into one of the four mailboxes by dialing “11”forMAILBOX 1, “22”for MAILBOX 2, “33”for MAILBOX 3, or “44”for MAILBOX 4.Example of a Primary OGM: Hello, please leave a message after the tone, or if you are usinga Touchtone telephone, please Dial 11 for Beth, Dial 22 for Jenny, Dial 33 for Jonathan, or Dial44 for Esson.eraseogmogmogmogmogm29Answering System Operation

Security SystemYour cordless telephone uses a digital coding security system to prevent unauthorized use ofyour telephone line by another nearby cordless telephone. The system has its own identifyingsignal created by microcomputers in both the BASE UNIT and the HANDSET.Security CodeThis telephone has an internal security code with 65,536 possible combinations. Resetting Security Code and Channel InformationCommunication between the HANDSET and the BASE UNIT may not be possible in any of thefollowing situations:1. After a power failure.2. After relocating the BASE UNIT by disconnecting the AC ADAPTER.3. After replacing the HANDSET BATTERY PACK.To reset, place the HANDSET on the BASE UNIT for 2 to 5 seconds.Multi-Channel AccessYour cordless telephone lets you select a channel from the 40 frequencies available to transmitsignals between the BASE UNIT and HANDSET. When you notice interference from othercordless telephones, change to another channel by pressing the button on theHANDSET.deletescan37SecurityIMPORTANTWhen you hear interference, press thebutton to change the operatingchannel.deletescan
Battery TypeUse the following type and size of BATTERY PACK:Cordless Telephone BATTERY PACK3.6V, 600mAhU.S. Electronics Inc.Ni-MH Battery Pack: Model B655This BATTERY PACK is available through:U.S. Electronics Service Center105 Madison AvenueNew York, NY 100161-800-825-5208NOTES: 1. During a power interruption, the BASE UNIT does not operate, and a phoneconversation cannot be made on the HANDSET.2. A beep will be heard when the HANDSET is properly positioned in theBASE UNIT CHARGE CRADLE and charging. Securely positioning theHANDSET, KEYPAD face up, in the BASE UNIT will also prevent theHANDSET from falling.Recharging the Battery PackThe nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) BATTERY PACK in the HANDSET can be recharged manytimes 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 every10 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 willbe 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 thedischarging pattern it was subjected to. This is known as a “MEMORY”condition which causesrapid discharging thereby shortening the BATTERY PACK charge span. If you believe yourBATTERYPACK has developed a “MEMORY”condition, do not charge the HANDSET until theBATT LOW symbol appears on the LCD Screen. When the BATT LOW symbol appears on theLCD Screen, charge the HANDSET fully for 12 hours.38Recharging the BATTERY PACKIMPORTANTIn order to get maximum life from the HANDSETBATTERY PACK, be sure to charge the HANDSET for 12hours before initial use.
Changing the Battery PackThe BATTERY PACK provides power for the HANDSET of your cordless telephone.To Replace BATTERY PACK:1. Remove the HANDSET BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER by sliding it down.2. Pull out the BATTERY PACK PLUG and remove the BATTERY PACK.3. Plug the new BATTERY PACK into the BATTERY CONNECTOR.4. Slide the HANDSET BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER firmly into place in its closedposition.5. Before use, charge the new BATTERY PACK for 12 hours.ATTENTION:The telephone that you have purchased contains a rechargeable BATTERY PACK. TheBATTERY PACK is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, itmay be illegal to dispose of this BATTERY PACK into the municipal waste stream. Check withyour local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.39Changing the BATTERY PACKIMPORTANTIn order to get maximum life from the HANDSETBATTERY PACK, be sure to charge the HANDSET for 12hours before initial use.

Technical InformationThis cordless telephone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certain difficulties inusing radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. While these are normal, the following couldaffect the operation of your system.NoiseElectrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise is mostintense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment such as light dimmers,fluorescent bulbs, motors, and fans also generate noise pulses. Because radio frequencies aresusceptible 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.RangeBecause 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 signalto the HANDSET.InterferenceElectronic circuits activate a relay to connect the cordless telephone to your telephone line.These electronic circuits operate in the radio frequency spectrum. While several protectioncircuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these unwantedsignals enter the BASE UNIT. You may hear clicks or hear the relay activate while you are notusing the HANDSET. If the interference occurs frequently, it can be minimized or eliminated byrelocating the BASE UNIT.You can check for interference before selecting the final BASE UNITlocation by plugging in the telephone.NOTICE:This cordless telephone uses radio communication between the HANDSET and the BASEUNIT and may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices, including another cordlesstelephone, may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephone or cause noise duringoperation. Units not containing coded access may be accessed by other radio communicationsystems. Cordless telephones must not cause interference to any licensed radio service.42Technical InformationIMPORTANTWhen you hear interference, press thebutton to change the operatingchannel.deletescan
