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. 27 manual 5815 analog.qxd 3/16/2004 2:40 PM Page 35 Changing the BATTERY PACK Changing the BATTERY PACK The BATTERY PACK provides power for the HANDSET of your cordless telephone.

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. 30 manual 5815 analog.qxd 3/16/2004 2:40 PM Page 38 FCC Requirements FCC Req 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. IMPORTANT Placing your BASE UNIT near appliances such as televisions, refrigerators, radios, or microwave ovens may cause interference. 31 manual 5815 analog.qxd 3/16/2004 2:40 PM Page 39 FCC Requirements Federal Communications Commission Requirements (continued) This equipment should not be used on coin telephone lines.
