Base Diagram Traits of Cordless Telephones
A. Cordless telephones offer convenience and mobility during
telephone conversations. The use of cordless phones is dependent
upon the availability of AC power. Any disruption of electrical
power at your location will prevent the placing or receiving of
telephone calls. It is recommended that a cordless telephone
should not be installed as the only phone at your location.
B. The usable range of the cordless handset away from the base is
dependent upon many factors. The telephone base is like a radio
transmitter in that it transmits telephone line signals via radio
waves to the handset. Therefore, the location of the base is
important in order to maximize the usable range. For example,
installing the base on the second floor, in some locations, will
provide longer range than a ground floor installation. Pick a
location that gives you the clearest signal. The following can
adversely affect usable range:
*Aluminum siding
*Insulation with foil backing
*Any metal construction which could shield radio signals
Atmospheric conditions also play an important role in the perfor-
mance of your cordless telephone.
Interference can be caused by placing the base near:
*Fluorescent lights
*Appliances that generate electrical noise, including:
*Microwaves
*Televisions
*VCRs
*Baby monitors
* Computers
VNM
C. For maximum performance, always keep the battery pack fully
charged.
D. Plug your AC adaptor directly into an outlet, not an extension
cord.
E. Do not plug other appliances into the outlet or have the outlet
controlled by a wall switch.
F. If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your
home, the telephones must operate on different channels. Press
the channel key to select a channel that provides the clearest
communication.

See the above mentioned
possible causes.
The handset is being used
too far away from base.
You may have lost the se-
curity code. The handset
can no longer communi-
cate with its base. The loss
of the code can occur if

Recheck all plug
connections. Also, check
the DC adaptor for proper
connection to wall outlet
and phone base.
Reset the digital security
code by returning the hand-
set to the base. A new code is
set.
Charge the battery for about
10-14 hours before initial use
or when the battery handset
beeps in talk mode.
See above corrective actions.
Move the handset closer to
the base
1. Return the handset to the
base unit for 5-10 seconds to
reset code. If that doesn’t
work, then.
2. Check to make sure the DC
adaptor is connected.
3. Unplug DC adaptor from

ments adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of this equipment is a label
that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the for-
mat US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be pro-

network or premise wiring using a compatible modular jack which is
Part 68 compliant. See installation instructions for details.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be con-
nected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may
result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In
most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five(5.0). To
be certain of the number of devices that may be concerned to a line, as
determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.
[For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is
part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.
The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g.,
03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown
on the label.].
If your telephone equipment 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 informed
of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

operations, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of
your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you
