Technical Information
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 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 phone.
NOTICE:
This cordless telephone s 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
If you live in an area which receives frequent
thunderstorms, we strongly recommend plugging
your AC ADAPTOR into a surge protector.

Recharging the BATTERY PACK
Use the following type and size of BATTERY PACK:
Cordless Telephone BATTERY PACK
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 () BATTERY PACK in the HANDSET can be recharged many times
using the built in charger in the BASE UNIT.
When the BATT LOW LED indicator starts to blink rapidly, a "beep" sound will be heard every12
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 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 LED indicator comes on. When it does come on, charge the
HANDSET fully for 12 hours.

In order to get maximum life from the HANDSET

4. When you have finished your call, press the
button again. The IN USE LED indicator

NOTES:
1. The BASE UNIT does not have a ringer and does not ring when receiving an incoming call.
2. If you are too far away from the BASE UNIT, the HANDSET emits "beep" sounds to warn
you that the background noise level is too high for proper communication between the
HANDSET and the BASE UNIT. When you hear this sound, you should move closer to the
BASE UNIT to reduce the noise level. Otherwise, the call will automatically cut off.
IMPORTANT
When you hear interference, press the scan
button to change the operating channel.
