Battery Safety
CAUTION:
Danger of explosion if BATTERY PACK is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with the same or equivalent type. To reduce the risk of fire or
personal injury, read and follow these instructions:
1. Use only the following type and size of BATTERY PACK:

2. Do not dispose of the BATTERY PACK in a fire. It may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the BATTERY PACK. Released electrolyte from a BATTERY PACK
is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. Electrolyte may be toxic if
swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling the BATTERY PACK to prevent shorting the BATTERY PACK with
conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The BATTERY PACK or conductor
may overheat and cause burns.
5. Charge the BATTERY PACK provided with (or identified for use with) this telephone only in
accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.
6. Observe proper polarity orientation between the BATTERY PACK and BATTERY
CHARGER.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION:
The telephone that you have purchased contains a rechargeable BATTERY PACK. The

Recording Your Outgoing Messages
Your Answering System provides one PRIMARY MAILBOX and four individual MAILBOXES
(1, 2, 3, 4) which can receive their own Incoming Messages (ICM). Before using your Answering
System, it is suggested that you record an Outgoing Message (OGM). This is the announcement
callers will hear when the system answers a call.
A prerecorded system announcement “Please record your message after the beep” is available
if you choose not to record your own OGM.

1. Press and hold down the button to record your message.
2. Begin speaking immediately after you hear, “Please record your announcement after
the beep.” Continue to depress the button. One second after completing your
OGM, release the button and the Answering System will announce, “End

12 inches.
It is recommended that you record an OGM on your PRIMARY MAILBOX instructing
a caller to leave an ICM in one of the four mailboxes. If the caller is using a Touchtone
telephone, this will enable the caller to record an ICM directly into one of the four
mailboxes by dialing “11” for MAILBOX 1, “22” for MAILBOX 2, “33” for MAILBOX 3,
“44” for MAILBOX 4.
Example of a Primary OGM: “Hello, please leave a message after the tone, or if you are
using a Touchtone telephone, please Dial 11 for Beth, Dial 22 for Jenny, Dial 33 for
Jonathan, Dial 44 for Esson.”
NOTE: To check your OGM, press the button. If you did not record an OGM, your
Answering System will announce, “You have no announcement.”

Changing th
Battery Type
Use the following type and size of BATTERY PACK:
Cordless Telephone BATTERY PACK
3.6V, 800mAh
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
NOTE:
1. During a power interruption, the BASE UNIT does not operate, and a phone
conversation cannot be made on the HANDSET.
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 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 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 the BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR starts blinking
on the LCD Screen. When the BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR starts blinking 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 FCC Require
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.
43
5860 man.qxd 11/7/2003 5:48 PM Page 52
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.
