Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a
label indicating, among other
information, the US number and
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
for the equipment. You must, upon
request, provide this information to
your telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the
number of devices you may connect
to your telephone line and still have
all of these devices ring when your
telephone number is called. In most
(but not all) areas, the sum of the
RENs of all devices connected to one
line should not exceed 5. To be
certain of the number of devices you
may connect to your line as
determined by the REN, you should
contact your local telephone
company.
A plug and jack used to connect this
equipment to the premises wiring and
telephone network must comply with
the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the ACTA.
A compliant telephone cord and
modular plug is provided with this
product. It is designed to be
connected to a compatible modular
jack that is also compliant. See
installation instructions for details.
Notes
• This equipment may not be used
on coin service provided by the
telephone company.
• Party lines are subject to state
tariffs, and therefore, you may not
be able to use your own telephone
equipment if you are on a party
line. Check with your local
telephone company.
• Notice must be given to the
telephone company upon
permanent disconnection of your
telephone from your line.
• If your home has specially wired
alarm equipment connected to the
telephone line, ensure the
installation of this product does
not disable your alarm equipment.
If you have questions about what
will disable alarm equipment,
consult your telephone company
or a qualified installer.

1.1.2 Rights of the Telephone
Company
Should your equipment cause trouble
on your line which may harm the
telephone network, the telephone
company shall, where practicable,
notify you that temporary
discontinuance of service may be
required. Where prior notice is not
practicable and the circumstances
warrant such action, the telephone
company may temporarily
discontinue service immediately. In
case of such temporary
discontinuance, the telephone
company must: (1) promptly notify
you of such temporary
discontinuance; (2) afford you the
opportunity to correct the situation;
and (3) inform you of your right to
bring a complaint to the Commission
pursuant to procedures set forth in
Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and
Regulations.
The telephone company may make
changes in its communications
facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures where such action is
required in the operation of its
business and not inconsistent with
FCC Rules and Regulations. If these
changes are expected to affect the
use or performance of your
telephone equipment, the telephone
company must give you adequate
notice, in writing, to allow you to
maintain uninterrupted service.
1.2 Interference Information
This equipment generates and uses
radio frequency energy which may
interfere with residential radio and
television reception if not properly
installed and used in accordance with
instructions contained in this manual.
Reasonable protection against such
interference is ensured, although
there is no guarantee this will not
occur in a given installation. If
interference is suspected and verified
by switching this equipment on and
off, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
Reorient the radio/television
receiver’s antenna, relocate the

4.1 Connect the base station
Place the base station in a central
location near the telephone line
socket and electricity socket.
Connect the line cord and the
power cable to their
corresponding connectors at
the bottom of the base station
as shown.
Connect the other end of the
line cord to the telephone line
socket and the other end of the
power cable to the electricity
socket.
Note
The line adaptor may not be attached

to connect the line adaptor to the line
cord first before plugging the line
cord to the line socket.
Warning
Avoid placing the base station too
close to large metal objects such as
filing cabinets, radiators or electrical
appliances. This can impair the range
and sound quality. Buildings with thick
internal and external walls may impair
transmission of signals to and from
the base.
Warning
The base station does not have an
ON/OFF switch. Power is applied
when the power adaptor is plugged
into the unit and connected to the
electricity socket. The only way to
power down the unit is to unplug the
power adaptor from the electricity
socket. Therefore, ensure that the
electricity socket is easily accessible.
The power adaptor and telephone
line cord have to be connected
correctly, as incorrect connection
could damage the unit.
Always use the telephone line cord
supplied with the unit. Otherwise,
you may not get a dial tone.

Tip
Economy mode can save you the cost
of a long-distance call when you
check your messages remotely. If
there are new messages in your
answering machine, the outgoing
message will start playing after 3
rings. If there are no new messages,
the outgoing message will be played
after 5 rings. Hence, if you want to
check if you have any messages
without incurring call charges, you
can hang up the call after the 4th ring.
10.6.2 Remote Control Access
If you are far away from home and
want to check the messages on your
answering machine, you can make use
of the remote access feature to check
your messages using another phone.
Once you dial your home number
from any other phone and enter the
remote access code*, you will be able
to obtain the messages on your
answering machine. The keypad on the
phone you use to dial acts like the
functions on your answering machine
where you can play or delete
messages, turn your answering
machine on or off, etc.
Note
This feature is deactivated by default.
* Remote access code (which is the
same as your master PIN code)
prevents any unauthorised remote
access of your answering machine.
See chapter 10.6.2.2 for more
information.
