Security
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.
Resetting Security Code and Channel Information
Communication between the HANDSET and the BASE UNIT may not be possible in any of the following 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 Access
Your cordless telephone lets you select a channel from the 40 frequencies available to transmit signals between the BASE UNIT
and HANDSET. When you notice interference from other cordless telephones, change to another channel by pressing the
button on the HANDSET.

Recharging the BATTERY PACK
Battery Type
Use the following type and size of BATTERY PACK:
Cordless Telephone BATTERY PACK
3.6V, 600mAh
XACT Communication
Ni-MH Battery Pack: Model B655
This BATTERY PACK is available through:
XACT Communication Service Center
105 Madison Avenue
New York, NY 10016
1-866-466-XACT (9228)
Recharging the Battery Pack
The nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) BATTERYPACK in the HANDSET can be recharged many times using the built-in charger in the
BASE UNIT.
When the BATTLOW 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.
NOTES: 1. During a power interruption, the BASE UNIT
does not operate, and a phone conversation
cannot be made on the HANDSET.
2. A beep will be heard when the HANDSET is
properly positioned in the BASE UNIT
CHARGE CRADLE and charging. Securely
positioning the HANDSET, KEYPAD face up, in
the BASE UNIT will also prevent the HANDSET
from falling.
IMPORTANT
In order to get maximum life from the HANDSET BATTERY PACK, be sure to
charge the HANDSET for 12 hours before initial use.
28
Changing the BATTERY PACK
Changing the Battery Pack
The BATTERY PACK provides power for the HANDSET of your cordless telephone.

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 recycling options or proper disposal.
IMPORTANT

Technical Information
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.
IMPORTANT
When you hear interference, press the button to change the operating
channel.

FCC Requirements
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.
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.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesirable operation.
