PAGE FCC REQUIREMENTS

USER INSTRUCTIONS

1. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the bottom of this equipment is a label

that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number

(REN) for this equipment. If requested, provide this information to your telephone company.

2. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and

still have all of those devices ring when your number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of

the RENs of all devices should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may

connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should call your local telephone company to

determine the maximum REN for your calling area.

3. If your answering machine causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may

discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice

isn't practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be advised of your right to file a

complaint with the FCC.

4. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures

that could affect the proper operation of your equipment. If they do, you will be given advance notice

so as to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

5. If there is a problem with this unit, the telephone company may ask you to disconnect this equipment

from the network until the problem has been corrected or you are sure that the equipment is not

malfunctioning.

6. Repairs can only be made by the manufacturer or an authorized service agency. Unauthorized

repairs void registration and warranty. Contact seller or manufacturer for details of permissible user-

performed routine repairs, and where and how to have other than routine repairs made.

7. This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to

party lines is subject to state tariffs. (Contact your state public utility commission or corporation

commission for information.) Jack: RJ11 Ringer Equivalence:

CASIO PHONEMATE, Inc. 20665 Manhattan Place, Torrance, CA 90501

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 this 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:

λ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

λ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

λ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

λ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Any changes made by the user not approved by CASIO PHONEMATE can void the user’s authority to

operate the equipment.

EXTRA HELP

Should you have additional questions, please call CASIO PHONEMATE's Help Line at

(310) 320-9810 (West Coast) or (410) 686-2885 (East Coast) for assistance.

The beep tones are a warning alarm to let you know:

1. That the handset is out of communication range with the base unit. Move the

handset closer to your base unit.

2. That the base unit had some problem like a power failure. Return the handset to

the base unit for 5 seconds and make sure all cords are connected correctly.

You hear continuous short beeps instead of a dial tone when using the cordless handset.

Interference Noise is heard.

1. The handset is too far from the base unit.

2. The cordless handset is picking up interference from one of several sources: electrical

appliances such as radio, TV, fluorescent lights, etc. Move the base unit to reduce interference.

3. Press CHANNEL to select another channel.

No Page Tone is heard at the Handset.

1. Check the AC ADAPTER and telephone cord connection.

2. You may have had a power failure. Return the handset to the base unit for 5 seconds

to reset the Digital Security Code.

A beep is heard each time the handset is returned to the base unit.

This is normal operation. The handset is updating the security code.

Unplug the AC ADAPTER PLUG from the back of the TC-520 for 10 seconds. Remove the

batteries from the handset. Plug the AC Adapter back into the base station and re-insert the

batteries in the handset. Return the handset to the base unit for 10 seconds.

If these actions do not remedy the problem, call the CASIO PHONEMATE Helpline. The helpline

staff can often resolve problems or recommend service when needed. Unless you live close to a

CASIO PHONEMATE Service Center, you may need to mail your machine to CASIO PHONEMATE

for repair. You should:

1. Package the unit in its original box or a comparable package.

2. Include a clear and specific explanation of the problem.

3. Include your name, address, and phone number.

4. Provide a legible photocopy of the dated store receipt for warranty purposes.

After several attempts the TC-520 will not operate properly.

IMPORTANT!

SALES SLIP OR EVIDENCE OF PURCHASE DATE REQUIRED

This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may also have other rights which vary

from state to state.

The limited warranty is extended only to the original consumer of a CASIO PHONEMATE

product and is valid only with respect to consumers within the United States of America and

Canada. Subject to the following conditions, should this product prove defective by reason of

improper workmanship of material:

During the period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase, CASIO PHONEMATE will

repair or, at its option, replace the product without charge for parts or labor. If CASIO

PHONEMATE elects to replace the product, such replacement may be accomplished with a

factory-reconditioned unit.

This limited warranty does not apply: (a) to any product damaged by accident, misuse, improper

line voltage, lightning, fire, water, or other acts of nature, (b) if the product is altered or repaired

by anyone other than CASIO PHONEMATE, INC. or one of its authorized warranty stations or if

the FCC-approved connector plugs are removed. This limited warranty does not cover tapes or

broken or marred cabinets.

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, all implied warranties made by CASIO

PHONEMATE in connection with this product are limited in duration to a period of one (1) year

from the date of original purchase, and no warranties, whether expressed or implied, shall apply

to this product after said period.

Should this product prove defective in workmanship or material, the consumer’s sole remedies

shall be such repair or replacement as is herein-above provided. Under no circumstances shall

CASIO PHONEMATE be liable for any loss or damage, direct, consequential, or incidental

arising out of the use of or inability to use this product.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or

limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusion may not

apply to you.

In order to obtain warranty service, you must provide evidence of purchase date. For your con-

venience, keep the dealer’s dated bill of sale or delivery ticket as evidence of the purchase date.

To obtain the name of the authorized CASIO PHONEMATE service facility,

call CASIO PHONEMATE ’s HelpLine at

(410) 686-2885 or (310) 320-9810.

If you live in an area that is highly susceptible to electrical storms, you may want to purchase a

Lightning Arrestor. The Lightning Arrestor attaches to your answering machine and if lightning

causes a surge through your phone line, the arrestor will help suppress the surge of electricity

which may cause damage to your unit.

To purchase your Lightning Arrestor, use the attached Accessory Order Form or call CASIO

PHONEMATE ’s Parts Department toll free: 1-800-322-9995.

CLEANING

THE BASE UNIT

CAUTION: Play messages before cleaning

and then disconnect the TC-520 from the

power outlet.

To assure high performance, periodically

clean the tape heads and capstan whenever

you notice an accumulation of dust and red-

brown oxide particles. Use a cotton swab

moistened with isopropyl alcohol. Be sure no

alcohol touches rubber parts, as it tends to dry

and eventually crack the rubber. Use a damp

cloth or sponge to clean the cabinet. A mild

soap, like dishwashing detergent, will help

remove grease or oil. Do not spray cleaners

directly onto the machine. Cleaners should

only be used on the plastic surfaces. If they

get into the mechanism or speaker, they may

damage the machine.

CLEANING

THE HANDSET

CAUTION: Disconnect the TC-520 from the

power outlet before cleaning.

Clean the battery charging contacts on the base

unit and the handset with a soft cloth once a

month. Clean the antenna, and the plastic

cabinet of the base unit and the handset, with a

soft cloth only. Do not use excess water or

cleaning liquid of any kind.

memory (time/day setting, autodial numbers, last number redial) will be erased.

SINGLE TAPE SYSTEM

The TC-520 is a single cassette answering machine. Your outgoing and incoming messages are

stored on one microcassette. With this design, it is normal operation for the tape to reset before

callers can leave a message. If you have several long messages on the tape, it could take a few

seconds for the tape to reposition itself and for the TC-520 to record new messages. The caller

will hear a continuous tone while the tape resets.

AUTO EXTENSION DISCONNECT

You can answer a call from any extension phone connected to the same line as the TC-520. Pick

up any extension phone after the TC-520 has answered the call. The unit will automatically stop

playing your outgoing message or recording a message. If it does not stop, quickly tap the hook-

switch on the extension phone without disconnecting the caller.

light. Leave the handset in the base unit for 12-15 hours. (See page 14.)

GENERAL

Interference Information

Cordless telephone equipment generates and receives radio waves and, if not installed and used properly, may pick

up interference. To prevent interference:

Avoid locations such as heating appliances, electrical equipment (e.g., fluorescent lamp, TV, radio,

refrigerator, computer), places subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, moisture, vibration, etc.

Locate the base unit in a high place in the house (such as the second floor) in order to receive the most

effective communication range. Fully extend the base unit antenna.

Notice: This cordless telephone uses radio communications between the handset and the base unit,

and may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices including other cordless telephones

may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephone or cause noise during operation. Cordless

telephones must not cause interference to any licensed radio service.

WARNING

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the set to rain or moisture.

To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

CAUTION

1. Use batteries only intended for recharging. Use only the following battery pack:

Nickel-Cadmium Rechargeable, 3.6 volts, 250-300 mAh.

2. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. The cell may explode.

Check with local codes for special disposal instructions.

3. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies.) Released electrolyte is corrosive

and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

4. Exercise care when handling the battery(ies) in order not to short the

battery(ies) with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys.

The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

The Digital Security Coding System automatically resets a new personal security code to one of over 256

combinations every time you return the TC-520 handset to the base unit. (Whenever the handset is returned to the

base unit you will hear a beep.) The security code prevents unauthorized use of your telephone line, false rings

and false dialing. (US. Patent No. 5,073,932)

Ultra Clear® Noise Reduction Circuit

The TC-520 is equipped with Ultra Clear® Noise Reduction Circuitry (Compander Circuit). It reduces background

noise—reception is superior to conventional cordless telephones.

25 Channels with Optimum Channel Memory (OCMTM )

The TC-520 has 25 channels with Optimum Channel Memory. Optimum Channel Memory provides fast and clear

channel selection. The scanning circuit scans all 25 channels in your neighborhood to find the best available

channel. Once it finds the clear channels it selects and remembers the three best ones. When you press “Talk” to

call out or receive a call, the unit automatically provides you with the best channel. Whenever you place the

handset in the base unit for 2 seconds or more, the unit updates its memory. Press CHANNEL if you wish to

change channels manually. (U.S. Patents 5,197,093 & 5,418,839)
