FCC Registration Information
Changes or modifications to this product not expressly
approved by our company, or operation of this product in any
way other than as detailed by the owner's manual, could void
your authority to operate this product.
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and
the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of
this equipment is a label that contains, among other
information, a product identifier in the format US:
AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be
provided to the telephone company. An applicable Universal
Service Order Codes (USOC) certification for the jacks used
in this equipment is provided (i.e., RJ11C) in the packaging
with each piece of approved terminal equipment. 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. The REN is used to
determine the number of devices that may be connected to a
telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may
result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming
call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not
exceed five (5.0).
To be certain of the number of devices that may be
connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs,
contact the telephone provider. For products approved after
July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product
identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The
digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point
(e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is
separately shown on the label.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the
telephone 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 this happens the
telephone company will provide advance notice in order for
you to make necessary modifications to maintain
uninterrupted service.
Please follow instructions for repairing if any (e.g. battery
replacement section); otherwise do not alternate or repair
any parts of device except specified.
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs.
Contact the state public utility commission, public service
commission or corporation commission for information.
NOTICE: If your home has specially wired alarm equipment
connected to the telephone line, be sure that installing the
system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have
questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult
your telephone company or a qualified installer.
Should you experience trouble with this equipment, please
contact our service center for repair or warranty information.
If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network,
the telephone company may request that you disconnect the
equipment until the problem is resolved.
NOTICE: According to telephone company reports, AC
electrical surges, typically resulting from lightning strikes, are
very destructive to telephone equipment connected to AC
power sources. To minimize damage from these types of
surges, a surge arrestor is recommended.
To insure the safety of users, the FCC has established
criteria for the amount of radio frequency energy various
products may produce depending on their intended usage.
This product has been tested and found to comply with the
FCC’s exposure criteria. For body worn operation, the FCC
RF exposure guidelines were also met when used with
accessory (belt clip) supplied or this product. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
The antenna(s) used for the base-unit must be installed to
provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all
persons and must not be collocated or operated in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and
humming in your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the
base. This interference is caused by external sources such
as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, fluorescent lighting, or
electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these
noises continue and are too distracting, please check around
your home to see what appliances may be causing the
problem. In addition, we recommend that the base not be
plugged into a circuit that also powers a major appliance
because of the potential for interference. Be certain that the
antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed. In the
unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or
distracting transmissions on your phone, you may be
receiving radio signals from another cordless telephone or
other source of interference. If you cannot eliminate this type
of interference, you need to change to a different channel.
Finally, it should be noted that 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, moving the cordless telephone farther away
from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the
interference.
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. Privacy of
communications may not be ensured when using this phone.
Note: 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.
--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.

messages, you will need to contact your service provider and
inquire as to which type of message notification signal —
either Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) or Stutter Dial Tone
(SDT) — their service uses.
If your voice mail service uses an FSK message signal to
alert you of a new voice mail message, you must turn off the

display. In the event your message waiting light gets out of
sync with your phone company’s voice messaging system,
you can manually reset it back to the “No messages waiting”
state.
1) Press and hold PAGE on the base for five seconds.
Note: The handsets connected to the base will start to

Tone Dialing Switch Over
If your phone is set to pulse dialing, you can temporarily
switch to tone dialing after the call connects. This feature is
useful when you need tone dialing to use automated menu
systems, such as telephone bank tellers, telephone
prescription refills, customer support menus, etc. Make your
call normally. Once your call connects, press * on the
handset. Any digits you enter from then on will be sent with
tone dialing. When this particular call ends, the phone
automatically returns to pulse dialing.
Setting Up the Phonebook
The handset has its own phonebook that holds up to seventy
names and numbers. When a handset’s phonebook is full,
the handset beeps and shows Memory Full on the display.
You cannot add any names and numbers in that handset’s
phonebook until you delete some of the existing ones.
Creating Phonebook Entries
To store names and numbers in your phonebook, please
follow these steps:
1) With the phone in standby, press PHONEBOOK/RIGHT.
2) To create a new phonebook entry, press MENU/SEL.
Select the Create New menu. Edit Name appears.
3) Enter the name for this entry (EDIT NAME).
Use the keypad to enter a name for this entry; the name
can contain up to sixteen characters. (See Entering Text
from Your Handset on page 24 for instructions on
entering text.) If you do not want to enter a name for this
entry, your phone will store this entry as No Name. Press
MENU/SEL when you are finished.
4) Enter the number for this entry (EDIT NUMBER).
Once you have stored a name, Edit Number appears
23
next. Use the number keypad to enter the phone number;
the phone number can contain up to twenty digits. If you
need the phone to pause between digits when it’s dialing
(for example, to enter an extension or an access code),
press PAUSE/REDIAL to insert a two-second pause.
You will see a P in the display. You can also use more
than one pause together if two seconds is not long
enough. Each pause counts as one digit. Press
MENU/SEL when you are finished.
5) Assign a personal ring tone for this entry
(PERSONAL RING).
You can attach a special ring tone to each phonebook
entry; the phone will use this ring tone when this person
calls. Use UP and DOWN to select one of the seven
different ring tone options (see Selecting a Ring Tone on
page 13 for a complete list of ring tones). As you scroll
through the tones, you will hear a sample of each tone
(unless the handset ringer volume is set to off).
When you hear the ring tone you want to use, press
MENU/SEL. If you do not want to use a personal ring
tone for this phonebook entry, choose No Selection; the
phone will use your standard ring tone setting. (See page
14 to turn the personal ring on or off.)
6) You will hear a tone confirming that the new entry has
been stored, and Done! appears in the display.
Entering Text from Your Handset
You can use the number keypad on your handset to enter
text by referring to the letters printed on each number key.
When you press the number key in a text entry field, the
phone displays the first letter printed on the number key.
Press the number key twice to display the second letter and
three times to display the third.
• When [Aa] appears on the display, capital letters are
24
displayed first, then lower case letters, and then the
number on the key.
• When [aA] appears on the display, lower case letters are
displayed first, then the number on the key, and then
capital letters.
• When you input the first letter or a letter after a blank
space, the default mode is [Aa]. From the next letter, the
mode changes to [aA] automatically.
• You can switch back and forth the mode manually
between [Aa] and [aA]. Press *; the case (small/capital)
of the letter entered changes also.
If two letters in a row use the same number key, enter the
first letter, then use CID/RIGHT to move the cursor to the
next position to enter the second letter.
For example, to enter the word “Movies”:
1) Press 6 once to enter M.
2) Use CID/RIGHT to move the cursor to the right.
3) Press 6 three times to enter o.
4) Press 8 three times to enter v.
5) Press 4 three times to enter i.
6) Press 3 two times to enter e.
7) Press 7 four times to enter s.

Chain dialing from the phonebook
If you often have to enter a series of digits or a code number
during a call, you can save that code number to a phonebook
entry. When your call connects, just use the phonebook to
transmit the saved code number. (This is referred to as chain
dialing.)
1) Enter the code number (up to twenty digits) into the
phonebook (see Creating Phonebook Entries on page
23). Be sure to enter the code number into the
phonebook exactly as you would enter it during a call.
2) During a call, when you hear the prompt that tells you to
enter the code number, press PHONEBOOK/RIGHT.
3) Use UP or DOWN to select the phonebook entry that

phonebook so you can use them later. Go to the Caller ID or
redial list and select the number you want to store. (If the
Caller ID information did not include the number, then you
will not be able to store it.)
1) With the phone in standby, press CID/LEFT to open the
Caller ID list or PAUSE/REDIAL to open the redial list.
2) Use UP and DOWN to scroll through the Caller ID

Using Caller ID, Call Waiting, and Redial
Lists
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from your phone
company, your phone will show you the caller’s phone
number and name (if available) whenever a call comes in. If
you subscribe to Caller ID on Call Waiting, the phone will
also show you the name and the number of any call that
comes in while you’re on the line.
Using the Caller ID List
You can store up to thirty Caller ID numbers in the handset.
Caller ID records are stored from newest to oldest. Once
28
your Caller ID list is full, the oldest record will be
automatically deleted when a new call is received. When you
have new Caller ID records (that is, records you have not
reviewed yet) and the phone is in standby, the handset will
display the number of new Caller ID calls received.
To open the Caller ID list, press CID/LEFT. The phone will
show the latest record.
Use UP and DOWN to scroll through the list. (New records
have an asterisk next to the received time.)
Making a Call from a Caller ID Record
1) With the phone in standby, press CID/LEFT to open the
Caller ID list.
2) Use UP and DOWN to find the Caller ID record you want
to dial.

Note:
You can also press TALK/FLASH or before you
open the caller ID list. Find the phone number you
want to dial, and then press MENU/SEL.
What’s this “add or delete a 1” about?
• Any phone number in the Caller ID records might (or
might not!) have a “1” at the front, depending on how
different phone companies send the Caller ID
information.
• The phone dials the number exactly as it appears in the
Caller ID record.
• If the phone number is a long distance or toll call, but the
Caller ID record does not have a “1” in front of the
number, press * to add it. If the phone number is a local
or non-toll call, but the Caller ID record has a “1” in front
29
of the number, press * to delete it.
Seven-digit dialing
If you can make a local call by dialing only seven digits
instead of ten, you can tell the phone to hide your local area
code in the Caller ID list; any calls from outside your area
code will show all ten digits.
To program your local area code:
1) Press MENU/SEL.
2) Select the Global Setup menu, and then the Area Code
submenu.
3) Use the number keypad (0 through 9) to enter a
three-digit area code. If an area code has already been
stored, it appears in the display. Press INT’COM/CLEAR
to delete the stored code, and then enter a new one.
4) Press MENU/SEL. You will hear a confirmation tone.
• The phone uses the stored area code as a filter. When a
call comes in, the phone compares the incoming area
code to the code programmed on the phone. If the two
codes match, the handset hides the area code in the
Caller ID list.
• When you are reviewing the Caller ID list, you can show
the hidden area code by pressing #. Press # again to
hide the area code.
• When you dial from a Caller ID record or store a Caller ID
record in the phonebook, the phone dials or stores the
digits exactly as they appear on the display. If you need
to use ten digits, be sure to press # to show the area
code before you dial or store the number. (See page 27
to store a Caller ID record in the phonebook.)
Deleting Caller ID Numbers
To delete only one Caller ID number, press CID/LEFT when
the phone is in standby, and then find the number you want
30
to delete. Press MENU/SEL and select Delete Entry. When
the phone asks you to confirm, select Yes.
To delete all the Caller ID numbers, press CID/LEFT when
the phone is in standby. Press MENU/SEL and select
Delete All. When the phone asks you to confirm, select Yes.
Note:
When you delete a Caller ID number, you delete it
permanently.
Using Call Waiting
If you have Call Waiting service and a second call comes in
when you are on the phone, a call waiting tone will sound.
Press TALK/FLASH to accept the waiting call. There is a
short pause, and then you will hear the new caller. To return
to the original caller, press TALK/FLASH.
Note:
You must subscribe to Call Waiting service for this
feature to operate. Not all features are available in
all areas.
Using Multiple Bases and Handsets
The handset supplied with your phone can be registered to a
total of four different CT14 bases, and the base supports a
total of six cordless handsets. If you purchase two or more
CT14 packages, you can use the features in this section.
Any settings in the "Global Setup" or "Day & Time" menu are
applied to all registered handsets and the base. Only one
handset can change these settings at a time, and you have
to make sure another handset is not currently being used. If
you have multiple bases, the different bases have each
settings; select the base before changing these settings (see
Selecting the base on page 32).
Note:
To confirm how many bases the handset is
registered to, open the Select Base submenu
(follow the step 1 of Selecting the base on page 32).
Press END to close the list and return to standby.
31
Registering the handset to another base
To register a handset to another base:
1) Make sure the handset battery is fully charged.
2) Disconnect the AC adapter on the base you want to
register the handset to. Then press and hold PAGE while
you reconnect the adapter. Keep holding PAGE until the
CHARGE indicator starts to blink.
3) On the handset, press MENU/SEL. Select the Register
Base menu. Handset Registering will appear in the
display. (After step 2, you have thirty seconds to
complete this step 3 before the system returns to
standby.)
4) Wait approximately thirty seconds. Registration complete
will be displayed to indicate the handset has been
registered to the base and a handset ID will be
automatically assigned. The handset assigns its own ID
to this base, too. (Since the base ID is based on the order
in which the handset was registered to the different
bases, a base may have different IDs on each handset.)
If Registration failed appears in the LCD, please try these
steps again.
Note:
The handset will stay connected to the new base
until you select a different base (see below).
Selecting the base
After you register your handset to more than one base, you
can set the handset to automatically search for a new base if
the base it's currently connected is unavailable or out of
range. You can also manually select which base you want
the handset to connect to.
1) With the phone in standby, press MENU/SEL. Select the
Handset Setup menu, and then the Select Base
submenu.
32
2) Move the cursor to select the base you want to connect
to, or choose Auto to have the handset automatically
search for and select base.
3) Press MENU/SEL. Searching will appear in the display.
4) When the base is found, the handset will return to
standby. If the base is not found, “Searching” continues
to appear. You can repeat the procedure listed above to
return back to the original connection or to find the
different base.
Note:
You cannot change bases during a call.
Conferencing
If more than one handset is registered to a base, up to three
people can participate in a conference call. A three-way
conference call consists of an outside line and two handsets.
You can easily join a call already in progress. The handsets
must be currently connected to the same base (see
Selecting the base on page 32).
1) Press TALK/FLASH to join the call.
2) To hang up, return the handset to the base or press END.
3) The other party will still be connected to the call.
Privacy Mode
Privacy mode prevents other handsets (that are connected
to the same base) from interrupting your call. As long as your
handset is in privacy mode, other handsets can’t join your
call or make any calls of their own: their displays will show
Unavailable.
1) While on a call, press MENU/SEL.
2) Select Call Privacy. Privacy Mode On appears in the
display for two seconds; the privacy icon appears and
remains in the display until the feature is turned off.
To turn privacy mode off, repeat the procedure listed above.
Privacy Mode Off appears.
33
Note:
Privacy mode does not affect handsets that are
connected to a different base or extension phone.
Transferring a Call
If more than one handset is registered to a base, you can
transfer a call from one handset to another. The handsets
must be currently connected to the same base
(see page 32).
1) During a call, press INT’COM/CLEAR.

Weak or Hard to Hear Audio
If the caller’s voice sounds weak or soft, the signal might be
blocked by large metal objects or walls; you might also be
too far from the base, or the handset’s battery may be weak.
• Try adjusting the volume of the earpiece (see page 18) or
the audio tone (see page 18).
• Try moving around while you’re on a call or moving closer
to the base to see if the sound gets louder.
• Make sure the handset’s battery is fully charged.
Noise or Static on the Line
The most common cause of noise or static on a cordless
phone is interference: other wireless or electronic devices
can radiate energy that disturbs the radio signal between the
base and the handset (much like overhead power lines can
cause static on your car radio). Some common household
sources of interference are
• electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens
• computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment
and DSL modems
• radio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors,
wireless controllers, or wireless headphones or speakers
• large florescent light fixtures (particularly ones that give
off a “buzzing” noise)
• other services that use your phone line, like alarm
systems, intercom systems, or broadband Internet
service
For static on only one handset or in a specific location:
• Check nearby for one of the common interference
sources.
• Try moving the handset away from a suspected source,
or try moving the suspected source so it’s not between
the handset and the base.
42
For static on more than one handset:
• Check near the base for the source of interference.
• Try moving the base away from a suspected source, or
try turning off the source if possible.
• If you have any services that might use your phone line,
see if you need a filter on the phone line.
Installing a telephone line filter or DSL filter
Any broadband Internet service that uses your telephone line
might interfere with standard phones. The most common
type of these services, DSL, often causes static on your
telephone. Fortunately, an easy-to-install filter removes this
static from the line. Technicians who install DSL service
usually leave several filters for the customers; if you can’t
find them, call your DSL provider or look in any electronics
store.
Just plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and then
plug your phone’s base into the filter. Make a test call to
make sure the noise is gone.
Traveling Out of Range
When the handset is in standby, the handset will display Out
Of Range.
During a call, if you move your handset too far from your
base, noise may increase. If you pass the range limit of the
base, the handset will beep, display Out Of Range, and then
go to standby. The base will maintain the connection for thirty
seconds after the handset goes out of range. If you move the
handset back within range of the base within thirty seconds,
press TALK/FLASH to pick up the call again.
Note:
If it is set to automatically select the available base,
the handset will begin searching for another base
thirty seconds after going out of range. (see
43
Selecting the base on page 32).
Changing the Line Mode for Multiple Extensions
Line mode refers to the method that telephones use to signal
each other that an extension is in use. Customer service
may recommend changing the line mode if you have any of
the following problems:
• Your phone keeps ringing after someone answers on an
extension phone.
• Your answering system doesn’t stop recording when you
answer on an extension phone.
• Caller ID displays briefly and then clears.
1) If you have multiple bases, select the base that is having
problems (see page 32).
2) Press MENU/SEL.

4) The phone will ask you to confirm the deregistration.
Select Yes. The handset will clear its registration
information only from the base it is currently connected to,
and then delete the link to the base from its own memory.
If the handset cannot contact the base, it will display Out Of
Range. Make sure the handset is in range of the base and
the base is connected to power.
If you don’t have the base the handset is registered to:
1) Press and hold END and # for at least five seconds.
Select Base Unavailable.
3) Select the base which you want to de-register from, and
then press MENU/SEL.
4) The phone will ask you to confirm the deregistration.
Select Yes. The handset deletes its own base information
without contacting the base. If the handset was
registered to only one base, it displays Handset not
registered-place handset on base to register. See your
Owner's Manual for help. If the handset is still registered
to another base, it searches for the other base and then
returns to standby.
Re-registering the handset
After the handset is de-registered, you must re-register the
handset before you can use it.
1) Place the handset in the base cradle for several seconds.
2) When the handset has registered to the base, the LCD
will display Registration complete then show the handset
ID number.
If the display shows Registration failed, try the process
again.
