For best performance
Base unit location
The base unit and handset use radio
waves to communicate with each other.
For maximum distance and noise-free
operation, we recommend the following:
L Placing the unit away from electrical
appliances such as a TV, personal
computer or another cordless phone.
L Placing the base unit in a HIGH and
CENTRAL location with no obstructions
such as walls.
L Raising the antenna vertically.
L If you use the handset near a microwave
oven which is being used, noise may be
heard. Move away from the microwave
oven and closer to the base unit.
L If you use the handset near another
cordless phone’s base unit, noise may
be heard. Move away from the other
cordless phone’s base unit and closer to
your base unit.
Environment
L Keep the unit away from electrical noise
generating devices, such as fluorescent
lamps and motors.
L The unit should be kept free from dust,
high temperature and vibration.
L The unit should not be exposed to direct
sunlight.
L Do not place heavy objects on top of the
unit.
L When you leave the unit unused for a
long period of time, unplug this unit from
power outlet.
L The unit should be kept away from heat
sources such as heaters, kitchen stoves,
etc. It should not be placed in rooms
where the temperature is less than 5 °C
(41 °F) or greater than 40 °C (104 °F).
Damp basements should also be
avoided.
L Operating near 2.4 GHz electrical
appliances may cause interference.
Move away from the electrical
appliances.
Routine care
L Wipe the outer surface of the unit with a
soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner or

TG2431.book Page 6 Wednesday, September 22, 2004 1:17 PM
Battery installation
Insert the battery (1), and press it
down until it snaps into the
compartment (2).
Close the handset cover.
Battery charge
Place the handset on the base unit for 6
hours before initial use.
L The unit beeps once, the CHARGE
indicator will light, and “Charging” will
be displayed.
L “Charge completed” is displayed
when the battery has been fully charged.
The CHARGE indicator will remain lit.
Note:
L To ensure the battery charges properly,
clean the charge contacts of the handset
and base unit with a soft, dry cloth once
a month. Clean more often if the unit is
subject to grease, dust or high humidity.
Recharging the battery
Recharge the battery when:
– “Recharge battery” is displayed or
7 flashes on the handset display.
– the handset beeps intermittently while it
is in use.
Note:
L Recharge the handset battery for more
than 15 minutes, or the display will
continue showing the indication.
L If the battery has been discharged, the
handset will display “Charge for 6h”
and 8 when you place the handset
on the base unit.
L Battery power is consumed whenever
the handset is off the base unit, even
when the handset is not in use. The
longer you leave the handset off the
base unit, the shorter you can actually
talk on the handset. Actual battery
performance depends on a combination
of how often the handset is in use and
how often it is not in use.
L Once the battery is fully charged, you do
not have to charge it again until
“Recharge battery” is displayed or
7 flashes. This will maximize the
battery life.
Attention:
A nickel metal hydride battery that is
recyclable powers the product you have
purchased.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for
information on how to recycle this battery.

company will notify you in advance that
temporary discontinuance of service may
be required. But if advance notice isn’t
practical, the telephone company will
notify the customer as soon as possible.
Also, you will be advised of your right to
file a complaint with the FCC if you
believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make
changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures that could
affect the operation of the equipment. If

interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the
following measures:
− Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
− Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
− Connect the equipment into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
− Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
Some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause interference
to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or
prevent such interference, the base of
the cordless telephone should not be
placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If
interference is experienced, move the
cordless telephone further away from the
TV or VCR. This will often reduce, or
eliminate, interference.
