Important Instructions & Information
Equipment Approval Information
Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public Switch 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 the Administrative Council for
Terminal Attachments (ACTA).
1. Notification to the Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the UL
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 have connected on your
telephone line and still have all of the 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 have connected to
your line as 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.
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 the 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.
Hearing Aid Compatibility
This telephone system meets the FCC requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility.

Getting Started
Getting Started
Location
You need to place your T1960 within 6 feet
of the AC power outlet and telephone socket
so that the cables will reach.
Make sure it is at least 3 feet away from
other electrical and metal appliances to
avoid interference issues.
Your T1960 works by sending radio signals
between the handset and base. The
strength of the signal depends on where you
locate the base. Putting it as high as
possible and separated as much as possible
from other radio devices and metal objects
ensures the best signal.
WARNING
Do not place your T1960 in
the bathroom or other
humid areas.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the
telephone line until the
handset is fully charged.
The base must be plugged
into the AC power at all
times.
Battery charging light
The red charging light on
the base stays on while the
handset is on the base,
even when the batteries
are fully charged.
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, fully
charged handset batteries
should give up to 4 hours
talk time or 80 hours
standby time on a single
charge.
Battery low warning
When the handset battery
symbol is empty and
flashing (see page 18), you
will hear a warning beep.
Start recharging your
handset right away.
When charging the battery,
level bars are animated.
R9
Getting Started
Battery performance
When the batteries are fully
charged the battery
indicator will display green
bars. To keep your
batteries in the best
condition, leave the
handset off the base for a
few hours at a time (after
the initial 16 hour charge).
Please note however, that
new NiMH batteries do not
reach full capacity until they
have been in normal use
for several days.
The charge capacity of
rechargeable batteries will
reduce with time as they
wear out, thereby reducing
the talk and standby time of
the handset. Eventually
the batteries may need to
be replaced.
Setting Up
1. Plug the power cable into the base.
2. Plug the AC power adapter into an
electrical wall outlet
3. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries
supplied into the handset, paying
attention to the polarity. Slide the
battery compartment cover into place.
4. Charge the handset for at least 16 hours
by placing it on the base. The red
“CHARGE” light is on when the handset
is in the charger and stays on even after
the batteries are fully charged.
5. After 16 hours, plug the telephone line
cord into the wall socket and your
T1960 telephone is now ready for use.

Getting Started
Handset to Base Registration
The handset is pre-registered to the base as
‘Handset 1’. For information regarding
registering additional handsets to the base
see page 50.
Range Indicator
The
symbol on your handset display
indicates when you are in range of the base.
If the symbol flashes and you hear a
warning beep, you are out of range and will
need to move closer to the base.
Setting the Date and Time
If you have subscribed to the Caller-ID
service, the time and date will be set
automatically when you receive your first
call. You can also set the time manually.
(See page 48).
Your Verizon T1960 is now ready
for use.
R9
Replacing batteries
Use only rechargeable 750
mAh AAA Nickel Metal
Hydride (NiMH) batteries.
Replacement batteries
may be obtained
commercially from a
retail battery supplier.
See page 5 for important
battery replacement
information.
NOTE: The RBRC seal on
the battery used in your
Thomson Inc. product
indicates that we are
participating in a
program to collect and
recycle the rechargeable
battery (or batteries).
For more information go
to the RBRC web site at
www.rbrc.org or call
1-800-8-BATTERY or
contact a local recycling
center.
Handset range
The T1960 range between
the base and handset will
vary greatly depending on
the location of the base.
When there is no clear line
of sight between the base
and handset, e.g., the base
is indoors and the handset
is either indoors or
outdoors, the range may be
reduced.
Getting Started
If you have purchased
additional handsets:
Ensure the charger is
connected to the AC power
outlet at all times.
On each charger:
1. Connect the AC power adapter to the
charger.
2. Plug the AC power adapter into an
electrical wall outlet.
On each additional handset:
3. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries
supplied into the handset, paying
attention to the polarity (See page 13).
Slide the battery compartment cover
into place.
4. If the batteries have enough charge the
handset will power-up with “Not
Registered” on the display.
5. Charge the handset for at least 16
hours.
Once fully charged, your additional
handset(s) are required to be registered to
the base. See page 50.
Your additional handsets are now ready
for use.

VOICEMAIL
Information
Voicemail is a network
service that will take voice
messages from callers
when you are not home,
when you are already on a
call and the line is busy, or
when you do not wish to
answer the telephone. This
is similar to an answering
machine. Unlike an
answering machine though,
the voicemail service will
also take messages from
callers that call when you
are using the telephone
line. This is a very useful
feature that an answering
machine cannot provide.
Most of the voicemail
system prompts are
provided audibly to guide
you through the various
options for set-up of
outgoing messages and
other options, and for the
most often used feature,
which is listening to the
saved messages.

Area Codes
Information
The T1960 can dial
numbers back directly from
the Caller-ID entered into
the Received Calls list.
Most often, Caller-ID is
received with 10 digits (3digit area code + 7-digit
phone number) regardless
of how many digits need to
be dialed to call that
number. The most
prevalent dialing plans in
use are 7-digit (normal 7digit phone number), 11digit (1+area-code+7-digits)
and 10-digits (area-code+7digits). When dialing back
from the T1960 Received
Calls list, the T1960 will try
to figure out if 7, 10, or 11
digits should be dialed.
This is accomplished by
entering area codes as
settings.
There is a "Local Area
Code" and 5 "Regional
Area Code" settings
available. The area code
settings work for displaying
and dialing back numbers
only when the Caller-ID
received is 10 digits. If the
Caller-ID is anything other
than 10 digits, the Area
Code settings are not used
to pre-format the displayed
or dialed number.
