Battery Type
Use the following type and size of BATTERY PACK:
Cordless Telephone BATTERY PACK
3.6V, 600mAh
U.S. Electronics Inc.
Ni-Cd Battery Pack: model B650
This BATTERY PACK is available through:
U.S. Electronics Service Center
105 Madison Avenue
New York, NY 10016
1-800-825-5208
Recharging the Battery Pack
The nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd) 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

In order to get maximum life from the HANDSET
BATTERY PACK, be sure to charge the HANDSET for 12
hours before initial use.

IMPORTANT
When you hear interference, press the scan button to
change the operating channel.
36
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 lowering
the height of your BASE UNIT ANTENNA or by relocating the BASE UNIT. You can check for
interference before selecting the final BASE UNIT location by plugging in the phone.
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.
Technical Information
37
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, perations, 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, its use should be disconnected until the problem has been corrected.

Federal Communications Commission Requirements (continued)
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving ANTENNA.
- Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

features including:

Automated Functions - Redial the last number called and automatic STANDBY mode.
Security - Ensures greater privacy because a built-in security code with 65,536 combinations
prevents use of your telephone line by another nearby cordless phone.
Dependable Battery - Recharge your BATTERY PACK many times with the built-in charger. The battery
low warning tone tells you when the BATTERY PACK needs recharging. (See page 32.)
Special Services - Use the flash button to access special services such as Call Waiting supplied by
your telephone company or company switchboard.
STANDBY Mode - When in STANDBY mode, the phone is capable of receiving a call (ON-HOOK) .
When the HANDSET is on the BASE UNIT, it is automatically in the STANDBY mode (ON-
HOOK). When the HANDSET is taken off the BASE UNIT, it remains in the STANDBY mode
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.
