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.

This telephone has an internal security code with 4,000,000 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 ADAPTOR.
3. After replacing the HANDSET BATTERY PACK.
To reset, place the HANDSET on the BASE UNIT for 2 to 5 seconds.

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 B658 Ni-Cd
This BATTERY PACK is available through:
U.S. Electronics Service Center
105 Madison Avenue
New York, NY 10016
1-800-828-5208
NOTES:
1. During a power interruption, the BASE UNIT does not operate, and a phone
conversation cannot be made on the HANDSET.
2. To ensure your phone charges properly, place the HANDSET securely
TELEPHONE KEYPAD face up on the BASE UNIT.
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 LCD Screen display “LOW BATTERY,” 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 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 “LOW BATTERY” appear on the LCD
Screen. When “LOW BATTERY” appears on the LCD Screen, then charge the HANDSET fully
for 12 hours.
IMPORTANT
In order to get maximum life from the HANDSET
BATTERY PACK, be sure to charge the
HANDSET for 12 hours before initial use.

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 other cordless
telephones, 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
Placing your BASE UNIT near appliances
such as televisions, refrigerators, radios, or
microwave ovens may cause interference.
Federal Communications Commission Requirements
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. A label on the BASE UNIT of this
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 quantity of devices that you may connect to
your telephone line and still allow these devices to ring when your telephone number is called.
In most areas, but not all, the sum of the RENs for 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, you
should 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 advanced 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 TVs
and VCRs. 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.
