During a power interruption, the BASE UNIT does not operate, and a phone conversation cannot be made on the HANDSET.Recharging the BATTERY PACKThe 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 BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR starts blinking on the LCD Screen, a “beep” sound will be heard every 10 seconds. This indicates that 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 thedischarging pattern it was subjected to. This causes rapid discharging thereby shortening theBATTERY PACK charge span. If you believe your BATTERY PACK has developed a “MEMORY”condition, do not charge the HANDSET until the BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR starts blinkingon the LCD Screen. When the BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR starts blinking on the LCDScreen, then charge the HANDSET fully for 12 hours.IMPORTANTIn order to get maximum life from the HANDSETBATTERY PACK, be sure to charge the HANDSET for 12 hours before initial use.Recharging the BATTERY PACK395860 man.qxd 11/7/2003 5:48 PM Page 48

Technical Information FCC RequireTechnical InformationThis cordless telephone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certain difficulties inusing radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. While these are normal, the following could affect the operation of your system.NoiseElectrical 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 aminor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect in your system.RangeBecause 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 signalto the HANDSET.InterferenceElectronic 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 notusing the HANDSET. If the interference occurs frequently, it can be minimized or eliminated byrelocating the BASE UNIT. You can check for interference before selecting the final BASE UNITlocation by plugging in the telephone.NOTICE:This cordless telephone uses radio communication between the HANDSET and the BASE UNITand may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices, including other cordless telephones, may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephone or cause noise duringoperation. Units not containing coded access may be accessed by other radio communication systems. Cordless telephones must not cause interference to any licensed radio service.435860 man.qxd 11/7/2003 5:48 PM Page 52
IMPORTANTPlacing your BASE UNIT near appliancessuch as televisions, refrigerators, radios, ormicrowave ovens may cause interference.Federal Communications Commission RequirementsThis 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 RingerEquivalence 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 toyour 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 notexceed 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 temporarydiscontinuance of service may be required. However, when advanced written notice is not possible, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service without notice if suchaction is necessary under the circumstances. The telephone company may make changes in itscommunication facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures where such action is reasonablyrequired 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 TVsand VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the BASE UNIT of the cordless telephoneshould 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.FCC Requirements 445860 man.qxd 11/7/2003 5:48 PM Page 53
