Answering System Operation
Recording Your Outgoing Messages
Your 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 Answering
System, it is suggested that you record an Outgoing Message (OGM). This is the
announcement callers will hear when the system answers a call.
Apre-recorded system announcement “Please record your message after the beep” is available
if you choose not to record your own OGM.
A. Recording your OGM in the PRIMARY MAILBOX
1. Press and hold down the button to record your message.
2. Begin speaking immediately after you hear, “Please record your announcement after the
beep”. 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 an OGM is recorded, you can do as below to use the pre-recorded announcement for your
Answering System.
1. Press the button, while the OGM is playing, press the button.
2. “You have no announcement” will be playing. Now the pre-recorded announcement “Please
record your message after the beep” is used for your system.
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 to
leave an ICM in one of the four mailboxes. If the caller is using a Touchtone telephone, this will
enable the caller to record an ICM directly into one of the four mailboxes by dialing “11” for
MAILBOX 1, “22” for MAILBOX 2, “33” for MAILBOX 3, “44” for MAILBOX 4.
Example of a Primary OGM: “Hello, please leave a message after the tone, or if you are using

Security System
Your cordless telephone uses a digital coding security system to prevent unauthorized use of
your telephone line by another nearby cordless telephone. The system has its own identifying
signal created by microcomputers in both the BASE UNIT and the HANDSET.
Security Code
This telephone has an internal security code with 65,536 possible combinations. After doing the
HANDSET registration, the security code is stored in the non-volatile memory of HANDSET and
BASE 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 HANDSET
will 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.

Ni-MH Battery Pack: model B660
This BATTERY PACK is available through:
U.S. Electronics Service Center
105 Madison Avenue
New York, NY 10016
1-800-825-5208
NOTE: 1. 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.

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
telephone, 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.

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 ACTA Product 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.

IMPORTANT
Placing your BASE UNIT near appliances such as
televisions, refrigerators, radios, or microwave ovens
may cause interference.
