Important Information
Equipment Approval Information
Your telephone equipment is approved for connecting to the Public Switched Telephone Network and is in
compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations, and the Technical Requirements for Telephone
Terminal Equipment published by ACTA.
1. Notification to the Local 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 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 determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company.
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.
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 of
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.
Interference Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and (2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Important Information
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful 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 (that is, the antenna for radio or television that is "receiving"
the interference).
•
Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the telecommunications equipment and
receiving antenna.
•
Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiving antenna is connected.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/
television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a
helpful booklet, "How To Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems." This booklet is available from
the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4
when ordering copies.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator
and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.”
Notice:
T he changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.

Modular Jack Requirements
Wall plate
Modular telephone
line jack
To use this phone , you will need an RJ11C (for single line) or a
RJ14C (for two lines) type modular phone jack, which might look
like the one pictured here, installed in your home. If you don’t
have either modular jack, call your local phone to find out how
to get one installed.
Digital Security System
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to provide
protection against false ringing, unauthorized access, and
charges to your phone. When you place the handset in the base,
the unit verifies its security code. After a power outage or
battery replacement, you should place the handset in the base
for about 20 seconds to reset the code. This phone ’s digital
security code was set at the factory.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that
may cause interference to nearby TVs, microwave ovens, 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, microwave oven, or VCR. If
interference continues, moving the cordless telephone farther away from
these appliances will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
Certain other communications devices may also use the 2.4 GHz frequency
for communication, and, if not properly set, these devices may interfere
with each other and/or your new telephone. If you are concerned with
interference, please refer to the owner’s manual for these devices on how
to properly set channels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may use
the 2.4 GHz frequency for communication include wireless audio/video
senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone
systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.

If you have two telephone lines on a single wall jack installed in
your home, plug one end of the straight telephone line cord into
the jack marked LINE 1+2 on the back of the base. Plug the
other end into the 2-line wall jack.
If you have two separate wall jacks installed in your home, plug
one end of the telephone line cord into the jack marked LINE
1+2 on the back of the base, and plug one end of the other
telephone line cord into the jack marked LINE 2 on the back of
the base. Plug the other end of each telephone line cord into the
separate wall jacks.
NOTE: If you connect a telephone line cord from the LINE 2 jack on the
back of the base to a dual modular phone jack, you will only be able to
use line two.
NOTE: Although you can use this two-line cordless telephone with a
single phone line, you must have two lines (with separate phone
numbers) installed to use a two-line system. You may connect this
telephone to a single-line (RJ11C) wall jack, but you will only be able to
use one telephone line (either LINE 1 or LINE 2) - not both lines
simultaneously.

2. If an additional handset has never been registered to any base before,
you only need the base to enter the REGISTRATION mode then put the
handset (with its battery prior charged by the charge cradle) on the base
to register automatically, as described above. However, if the handset
you’re registering has been registered before, you would need both the
base and the handset to enter into REGISTRATION mode, and then put
the handset in the base to register. To let handset enter into
REGISTRATION mode, simply follow the same steps, as you would do on
the base.
