Security
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.
Security Code
This telephone has an internal security code with 65,536 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.
Multi-Channel Access
Your cordless telephone lets you select a channel from the 50 frequencies available to
transmit signals between the BASE UNIT and the HANDSET. When you notice
interference from other cordless telephones, change to another channel by pressing
the /scan button on the HANDSET.

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 B650 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: 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 BATT LOW symbol appears 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 BATT LOW
symbol appears on the LCD Screen. When the BATT LOW symbol appears on the LCD
Screen, 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.
Recharging the BATTERY PACK

Changing the BATTERY PACK
The BATTERY PACK provides power for the HANDSET of your cordless telephone.
To Replace the BATTERY PACK:
1. Remove the HANDSET BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER by sliding it down.
2. Pull out the old BATTERY PACK and install the new BATTERY PACK with the CHARGE
PLATE facing the CONTACT SPRINGS in the BATTERY COMPARTMENT.

in your system. (See Technical Information on page 30).
2. Choose an alternate channel using the /scan button on the HANDSET.
3. Do not use this telephone within 20 ft. of a microwave oven while it is working, as you
may experience interference. This is a normal occurrence with 2.4 GHz phones
and should not be interpreted as a defect in the product.
Excess static, check the following:
1. Check to see that the ANTENNA is not touching another metal object.
2. Raise or reposition the BASE UNIT ANTENNA.
If after pressing the button, you receive three “beeps” and no dial tone, check the
following:
1. BASE UNIT is plugged into a power source.
2. If you had a power failure or had unplugged the BASE UNIT, replace the HANDSET on
the BASE UNIT for 2 to 5 seconds to reset the system.

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 lowering the height of your BASE UNIT ANTENNA or 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.
Technical Information
IMPORTANT
When you hear interference, press the /scan
button to change the operating channel.

FCC Requirements
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

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.

such as televisions, refrigerators, radios, or
microwave ovens may cause interference.
