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.

The phonebook jumps to the first entry that begins with the letter you entered; you can then use UP and DOWN to scroll to other entries. 26 To close the phonebook and return to standby, press END. If you are looking up a phonebook entry during a call and want to close the phonebook, press PHONEBOOK/RIGHT again instead of END. Editing an Existing Phonebook Entry 1) With the phone in standby, press PHONEBOOK/RIGHT to open the phonebook. 2) Find the entry you want to edit and press MENU/SEL. 3) Select Edit. Follow the steps for Creating Phonebook Entries on page 23. If you do not wish to change the information at any step, simply press MENU/SEL to go to the next step. Storing Caller ID or Redial Numbers in the Phonebook You can store Caller ID records or redial numbers in the 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 records or redial numbers. When you come to the information you want to store, press MENU/SEL. Note: If you need to add (or delete) a “1” to the beginning of the Caller ID phone number, press * (see page 29). If you need to add (or delete) the stored area code to the Caller ID phone number, press # (see page 30). 3) Select Store into PB. Edit Name appears. If the phone number is already stored in memory, you will hear a beep, and This data is already saved! appears in the display. 27 The number will not be stored. 4) Continue by following the steps for Creating Phonebook Entries on page 23. Deleting a Single Phonebook Entry 1) With the phone in standby, press PHONEBOOK/RIGHT. 2) Find the entry that you want to delete and press MENU/SEL. 3) Select Delete.

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. 3) If you need to add (or delete) a “1” to the beginning of the displayed phone number, press *. If you need to add (or delete) stored area code, press #. 4) Press TALK/FLASH to dial the number. 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. 2) Use UP or DOWN to select the handset you want to transfer the call to, and then press MENU/SEL. Select All to page all other handsets. The call will automatically be placed on hold, and a paging tone sounds. To cancel the transfer, press TALK/FLASH. 3) When another handset accepts the transferred call, you will be disconnected. If you want to rejoin the call, press TALK/FLASH again. Answering a transferred call When a handset receives a call transfer, it sounds a paging tone; handsets also show the ID of the handset that is paging. To accept the call transfer: 1) To answer the page and speak to the transferring handset, press TALK/FLASH or INT’COM/CLEAR. Note: If Auto Talk is on, the handset will automatically answer the page when you pick up the handset from the base. If Any Key Answer is on, you can also press any key on the handset’s dial pad. 2) To accept the call and speak to the caller, press TALK/FLASH on the receiving handset. 3) When you accept the transferred call, the transferring handset will be disconnected. Only the first handset to answer the transfer page will be connected to the call. If the transfer page is not picked up 34 within one minute, the operation will be canceled. Using the Intercom If more than one handset is registered to a base, you can use the intercom to talk to another handset without using the phone line. The handsets must be currently connected to the same base (see page 32). Making an intercom page 1) With the phone in standby, press INT’COM/CLEAR. 2) Use UP or DOWN to select the handset you want to talk with, and then press MENU/SEL. Select All to page all other handsets. 3) To cancel the intercom page, press END. Notes: • Intercom paging will be cancelled if any of the following things occur: • You receive an outside call or an intercom page while selecting the other handset. • You do not select a handset within thirty seconds. • Your handset is out of range (Out Of Range appears in the display). • The party does not answer the page within one minute. • The party is busy. • The party is out of range (Unavailable appears in the display). Answering an intercom page When the intercom page tone sounds, the display will show the ID of the handset that is paging. 1) Press TALK/FLASH or INT’COM/CLEAR. Note: If Auto Talk is on, the handset will automatically answer the page when you pick up the handset from the base. If Any Key Answer is on, you can 35 also press any key on the handset’s dial pad. 2) To hang up an intercom call, press END. Copying Phonebook Entries to Another Handset If more than one handset is registered to a base, you can transfer phonebook entries from one handset to another without having to re-enter names and numbers. You can transfer one phonebook entry at a time or all phonebook entries at once. 1) With the phone in standby, press PHONEBOOK/RIGHT. 2) To copy one entry, find the phonebook entry you want to copy. Press MENU/SEL, and then select Copy. To copy all entries, press MENU/SEL, and then select Copy All. 3) Move the cursor to select the handset which you want to transfer the entries to and then press MENU/SEL. If you select Copy All, Are you sure? appears on the display screen. Move the cursor to select Yes, and then press MENU/SEL. 4) The phonebook entries will be transferred to the designated handset. During the copy process, the receiving handset shows Receiving and the ID of the sending handset. 5) When the transfer is completed, Done! appears on the handset. Notes: • The handsets must be currently connected to the same base (see page 32). • If the handset you want to transfer to already has seventy entries in its phonebook, you will hear a beep, and Not enough memory in receiving unit appears on the display. • If the selected handset is out of range or data transfer is cancelled, Unavailable appears in the display. Phonebook listings will not be transferred. 36 Maintenance Specifications • • • Operating temperature 32° F to 122° F (0° C to 50° C) AC adapter Part number: 77391-02 Input voltage: 100-240V AC, 50/60 Hz Output voltage: 9V DC, 500mA Battery pack Part number: 80639-01 Capacity: 650mAh, 2.4V DC Notes: • Use only the supplied AC adapters. • Be sure to use the proper adapter. • Do not place the power cord where it creates a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard. • Do not place the base in direct sunlight or subject it to high temperatures. Note on Power Sources Low battery alert When the battery pack is very low, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. When Low Battery - Charge Handset appears in the handset display and the phone is in standby, none of the keys will operate. If you are on a call, complete your conversation as quickly as possible, and return the handset to the cradle. The battery pack needs to be charged when the empty battery icon appears. Cleaning the charging contacts To maintain a good charge, clean the charging contacts on the handset once a month. Dampen a cloth with plain water. 37 Gently rub the damp cloth over the charging contacts until all visible dirt is removed. Dry the contacts thoroughly before returning the handset to the cradle. Caution: Do not use paint thinner, alcohol, or other chemical products. Doing so may discolor the surface of the telephone and damage the finish. Battery replacement and handling When the operating time becomes short, even after a battery is recharged, please replace the battery. With average use, your phone’s battery should last approximately one year. Caution: • Use only the supplied battery pack. • Do not remove the batteries from the handset to charge them. • Never throw the battery into a fire, disassemble, or heat them. • Do not remove or damage the battery casing. Power Failures During a power failure, you will not be able to make or receive calls with the phone. To avoid damage from an electrical spike when the power comes back on, we recommend you unplug your phone during power outages. 38 Troubleshooting Common Issues If your phone is not performing to your expectations, please try these simple steps first. When you have this problem... The CHARGE indicator won’t illuminate when the handset is placed in the base. Try... • Checking the AC adapter connection. • Re-seating the handset in the base. No handsets can make or receive calls. • Checking the telephone cord connection. If Check TEL Line appears on the handset display, the telephone cord may not be connected correctly. • Disconnecting the base AC adapter. Wait a few minutes, and then reconnect it. • Changing the dial mode. A single handset can’t make or receive calls (but other handsets can). • Moving the handset closer to the base. • Resetting the handset. A handset can make calls, but it doesn’t ring or receive a page. • Making sure the ringer isn’t turned off. 39 When you have this problem... Try... A handset is not working. • Checking the battery pack connection. • Charging the battery for 15-20 hours. • Resetting the handset. A handset says Unavailable. • Moving the handset closer to the base. • Seeing if another handset has Privacy Mode turned on. • Making sure the base is plugged in. The phone keeps ringing when I answer on an extension. • You may have to change the line mode. Contact customer service for more information. No handsets will display any Caller ID information. • Checking to see if the call was placed through a switchboard. • Asking your telephone company to verify your Caller ID service is current. There may be a problem with your Caller ID service. • Letting incoming calls ring at least twice before answering. Caller ID displays briefly and then clears. • You may have to change the line mode. Contact customer service for more information. 40 When you have this problem... Try... I can’t register a handset at the base. • Seeing if you already have 6 handsets registered to this base. • Seeing if you already registered this handset to 4 bases. • Resetting the handset. A handset doesn’t communicate with other handsets. • Making sure all handsets are registered to and currently connected to the same base. • Resetting the problem handsets. I can’t transfer calls. • Making sure all handsets are registered to and currently connected to the same base. • Resetting the problem handsets. I can’t get two handsets to talk to an outside caller. • Checking to see that there are not two handsets already using the conference feature. • Making sure another handset is not in Privacy Mode. • Making sure both handsets are registered to and currently connected to the same . The MESSAGE WAITING indicator flashes, but there are no new messages. • Resetting the MESSAGE WAITING Indicator. 41 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. 3) Select the Global Setup menu, and then the Set Line Mode submenu. 4) If Instructed by Customer Service Press [select] appears. Press MENU/SEL. 5) Move the cursor to select Type - A, Type - B, or Off. 6) Press MENU/SEL. You will hear a confirmation tone. Resetting the Handset If you are having trouble with a particular handset or if you want to replace a handset, first clear the registration information from the base and the handset. If you have the base the handset is registered to: 1) Select the base you want to de-register the handset from (see Selecting the base on page 32). 2) Press and hold END and # for more than five seconds. Select Deregister HS. 3) Select the handset which you are operating, and then press MENU/SEL. 44 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. 45
