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.Apre-recorded system announcement “Please record your message after the beep” is availableif you choose not to record your own OGM.A. Recording your OGM in the PRIMARY MAILBOX1.

43Security 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. After doing theHANDSET registration, the security code is stored in the non-volatile memory of HANDSET andBASE UNIT; therefore, the security code will not be lost caused by:1. A power failure on the BASE UNIT.The communication between the HANDSET to the BASE UNIT, or HANDSET to HANDSETwill be linked right after the power comes in.2. After replacing the HANDSET BATTERY PACK.The HANDSET can be used right after the BATTERY PACK replaced.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.deletescanSecurity
44Battery TypeUse the following type and size of BATTERY PACK:Cordless Telephone BATTERY PACK3.6V, 750mAhU.S. Electronics Inc.Ni-MH Battery Pack: model B660This BATTERY PACK is available through:U.S. Electronics Service Center105 Madison AvenueNew York, NY 100161-800-825-5208NOTE: 1. During a power interruption, the BASE UNIT does not operate, and a phoneconversation cannot be made on the HANDSET.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 yourBATTERY PACK 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.IMPORTANTIn order to get maximum life from the HANDSETBATTERY PACK, be sure to charge the HANDSET for 12hours before initial use.Recharging the BATTERY PACK
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.

48Technical 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.Technical InformationIMPORTANTWhen you hear interference, press thebutton to change the operatingchannel.deletescan
49Federal Communications Commission RequirementsThis equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. A label on the BASE UNIT of theequipment contains, among other information, the ACTA Product Number and the RingerEquivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide thisinformation to your telephone company.The REN is also useful in determining the number of devices that you may connect to yourtelephone 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 notexceed 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 maytemporarily disconnect your service. If possible, they will notify you in advance that temporarydiscontinuance of service may be required.However, when advance written notice is not possible, the telephone company may temporarilydiscontinue service without notice if such action is necessary under the circumstances. Thetelephone 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 isnot 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 itscompliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TV’sand VCR’s. To minimize or prevent such interference, the BASE UNIT of the cordless telephoneshould not be placed on or near a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving thecordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate theinterference.This equipment should not be used on coin telephone lines. Connection to party line service issubject to state tariffs. If trouble is experienced, disconnect this equipment from the telephoneline to determine if it is causing the malfunction. If the equipment is determined to bemalfunctioning, its use should be discontinued until the problem has been corrected.FCC RequirementsIMPORTANTPlacing your BASE UNIT near appliances such astelevisions, refrigerators, radios, or microwave ovensmay cause interference.
