SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Especially About Cordless Telephones
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless phone
convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are
transmitted between the base and the handset by radio
waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless phone
conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving
equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this
reason, you should not think of cordless phone
conversations as being as private as those on corded
phones.
Electrical Power: The base unit of this cordless telephone
must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The
electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch.
Calls cannot be made from the handset if the base
unit is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical
power is interrupted.
Potential TV Interference: Some cordless telephones
operate at frequencies that may cause interference to TVs
and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do
not place the base unit of the cordless telephone 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. (Applies to
25-channel cordless phones only.)

Rechargeable Batteries: This product contains either
Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable
batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to
short the battery with conducting material such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat
and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the
battery and the battery charger.
Nickel-Cadmium Rechargeable Batteries: Must be
recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of in
household garbage. Do not burn or puncture. Like other
batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could
release caustic material which could cause injury.
The RBRC™Seal means that the manufacturer
is voluntarily participating in an industry
program to collect and recycle Nickel-
Cadmium rechargeable batteries when taken
out of service within the United States. These
batteries may be taken to a participating local retailer of
replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you may call
1 800 8BATTERY for locations accepting spent Nickel-
Cadmium Batteries.
Nickel-Metal Hydride Rechargeable Batteries: Dispose of
these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture.
Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they
could release caustic material which could cause injury.
Precautions for Users of
Implanted Cardiac Pacemakers
Cardiac Pacemakers (applies only to 900 MHz Digital
Cordless Telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent
research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the
interference between portable wireless telephones and
implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration, WTR had recommended to
physicians that:
PACEMAKER PATIENTS
• Should keep wireless phones at least six inches from the
pacemaker
• Should NOT place wireless phones directly over the
pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON
• Should use the wireless phone at the ear opposite the
pacemaker
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with
pacemakers from other persons using wireless phones.

Especially About
Telephone Answering Systems
Two-Way Recording: This unit does not sound warning
beeps to let the other party know that the call is being
recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any
federal or state regulations regarding recording a telephone
call, you should start the recording process and then inform
the other party that you are recording the call.
FCC Registration and Repair Information
This telephone product has been registered with the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in accordance
with Part 68 of its rules. The FCC requires us to tell you the
following information.
1 Connection and use with the nationwide
telephone network
An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug
is provided with this product. This product is designed
to be connected to the telephone network or premises
wiring using a compatible modular jack which is
Part 68 compliant; for a single line use jack RJ11, for
two lines use RJ14. See Installation instructions in the
user’s manual.
This equipment may not be used with Coin
Telephone Lines or with Party Lines.
2 Notification to the telephone company
Upon request of your local telephone company, you
are required to provide them with the following
information:
aThe “line” to which you will connect the telephone
equipment (that is, your phone number), and
bThe telephone equipment’s FCC registration number
and ringer equivalence number (REN). These numbers
are on the back or bottom of your telephone
equipment.
The REN is useful to determine how many devices
you may connect to your telephone line and still
have them ring when you are called. In most, but not
all areas, the sum of all RENs should be five or fewer.
You may want to contact your local telephone
company for more information.
3 Repair instructions
If it is determined that your telephone equipment is
malfunctioning, the FCC requires that it not be used and
Pt1_1yr_Eng_China_3ATT 7/18/01 10:25 AM Page 4
5
that it be unplugged from the modular jack until the
problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone
equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its
authorized agents or by others who may be authorized
by the FCC. For repair procedures, follow the instructions
outlined under the Limited Warranty.
4 Rights of the telephone company
If this telephone product is causing harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company may temporarily
discontinue your telephone service. The telephone
company is required to notify you before interrupting
service. If advance notice is not practical, you will be
notified as soon as possible.
You will be given the opportunity to correct the problem
and the telephone company is required to inform you of
your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes in its
facilities, equipment, operation, or procedures that
could affect the proper functioning of this product. The
telephone company is required to notify you if such
changes are planned.
5 This telephone is compatible with inductively
coupled hearing aids. (NOTE: This applies only if this
product is equipped with a corded or cordless handset.)
6 Programming/testing of emergency numbers
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may
choose to store police, fire department and emergency
medical service telephone numbers in these locations. If
you do, please keep three things in mind:
aWe recommend that you also write the telephone
number on the directory card, so that you can still
dial the emergency number manually if the memory
dialing feature doesn’t work.
bThis feature is provided only as a convenience, and
the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for
customer reliance upon the memory feature.
cTesting the emergency telephone numbers you have
stored is not recommended. However, if you do
make a call to an emergency number:
• You must remain on the line and briefly explain
the reason for the call before hanging up.
• Programming/testing of emergency numbers
should be performed during off-peak hours, such
as in the early morning or late evening, when the
emergency services tend to be less busy.

Part 15 of FCC Rules
Some telephone equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and
used properly, may cause interference to radio and
television reception.

standards for a Class B digital device, as specified in Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These specifications are designed to
provide against such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation.
If this product causes interference to radio, VCR or
television reception when it’s in use, you might correct the
interference with any one or all of these measures:
— Where it can be done safely, re-orient the receiving
radio, VCR or television antenna.
— To the extent possible, relocate the radio, VCR,
television or other receiver with respect to the
telephone equipment.
— If this telephone product runs on AC power, plug your
product into an AC outlet that’s not on the same circuit
as one used by your radio, VCR or television.
Modifications to this product, not expressly
approved by the manufacturer, could void the user’s
