Modular jack
You need an RJ11 type modular phone jack. If you do not have a modular jack, call
your local phone company to find out how to get one installed.
Checking package contents
Make sure your package includes the items shown here.
GETTING STARTED
Installation tips
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference
to nearby TVs, microwave ovens, and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such
interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on
top of a TV, microwave oven, or VCR. If such interference continues, move the
cordless telephone farther away from these appliances.
Certain other communications devices may also use the 5.8 GHz frequency for
communication and if not set properly these devices may interfere with each
other and/or your new telephone. If you are concerned with interference, please
refer to the owner’s manual for these devices on how to properly set channels
to avoid interference. Typical devices that may use the 5.8 GHz frequency for
communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless computer
networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some long-range
cordless telephone systems.

Causes of poor reception
Aluminum siding.
Foil backing on insulation.
Heating ducts and other metal construction can shield radio signals.
You are too close to appliances such as microwaves, stoves, computers, etc.
Atmospheric conditions, such as strong storms.
Base is installed in the basement or lower floor of the house.
Base is plugged into an AC outlet with other electronic devices.
Baby monitor is using the same frequency.
Handset battery is low.
You are out of range of the base.
To keep your telephone working and looking good, follow these guidelines:
Avoid putting the phone near heating appliances and devices that
generate electrical noise (for example, motors or fluorescent lamps).
Do not expose to direct sunlight or moisture.
Avoid dropping the phone, and other rough treatment to the phone.
Clean the phone with a soft cloth.
Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because this will
damage the finish.
Periodically clean the charge contacts on the handset and base with a
clean pencil eraser.
Retain the original packaging and your original sales receipt in case you need
to ship the phone at a laterdate.

MAXIMIZE BATTERY PERFORMANCE
The freedom that your cordless telephone can offer is fully dependent on the
performance of the rechargeable battery in the handset. To maximize the battery
performance, follow these guidelines:
Charge it for a full 12 hours
Before initial use of your new battery, charge it for 12 hours continuously. The
proper initial charging is very important to maximize the battery performance.
Keep the contacts clean
You can never fully recharge the battery if the contacts are dirty. Clean all the
contacts - two at the bottom of the handset and two in the base cradle -
periodically. Use a clean pencil eraser or superfine steelwool to clean the
charging contacts. Avoid touching the cabinet area of the phone, or scratches
may occur.
Refresh battery
If your battery seems to need recharging more often than usual, it may have lost
part of its charging capacity. To bring back its full capacity, try “refreshing” the
battery:
1. First discharge the battery by leaving the handset in TALK mode until Battery
Low indication turns on. (Disconnect the base from the telephone line, so that
your line is not busy all the time.)
2. Then charge it for 12 continuous hours.
3. Repeat the above once more. As your PhoneMate PM5821, PM5825, PM5827
and PM5805 products use a Ni-MH battery you are free to leave your handset
in the base charger for as long as you like, without effecting the performance
of the battery life.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
REN Number:
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
assigned to each terminal’s device
provides an indication of the maximum
number of terminals allowed to be
connected to a telephone interface.
The REN number of this phone is
located on the bottom of the base unit.
The termination on an interface may
consist of any combination of device
subject only to the requirement that
the sum of the Ringer Equivalence
Numbers of all the devices does not
exceed 5.
CAUTION
This product is intended for use in the
USA and CANADA only. Sale or use
in other countries may violate local
laws.
Cordless telephones use radio
frequencies to allow mobility. This
affects the performance of your
phone.
1. NOISE
Electrical pulse noise is present in
most homes at one time or another.
This is most intense during electrical
storms. Certain kinds of electrical
equipment, such as light dimmers,
fluorescent bulbs, motors, fans, etc.,
also generate pulse noise.
Because radio frequencies are
susceptible to this, you may on
occasion hear pulse noise through
the handset. This is usually only a
minor annoyance and should not be
interpreted as a defect of the phone.
2. RANGE
Because radio frequencies are used,
the location of the base station can
affect the operating range of the
phone. Try several locations and
choose the one that gives the
clearest signal to the handset.
(Turning in a circle while holding the
handset may also increase the
operating range.)
3. INTERFERENCE
Electronic circuits activate a relay to
connect the unit 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
station. You may hear a click or hear
the relay activate when you are not
using the cordless handset. If this
occurs frequently, you can minimize
or eliminate the problem by lowering
the height of the base station or
relocating the base station. It may also
be helpful to change the operating
channel and/or the security code
setting.
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may
not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
