EQUIREMENTS
To properly connect your phone to your telephone lines, you will need an RJ11 type modular phone
jack, which might look like the one pictured here. If you don’t have a modular jack, call your local
phone company to find out how to get one installed.

Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to provide protection against false ringing,
unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
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.

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 the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
Certain other communications devices may also use the 900 MHz frequency for communication, and, if
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 900 MHz frequency for communication include wireless
audio/video senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some
long-range cordless telephone systems.

NFORMATION
Your telephone equipment is approved for connection 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 of 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 as determined by the REN, you should
contact your local telephone company.
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.
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.
•
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this product does
not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone
company or a qualified installer.
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 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.

NTERFERENCE
I
NFORMATION
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.
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.

• Check installation:
Is the base power cord connected to a working outlet?
Are the in use lamps on the handset and base lit?
Is the handset in use/charge light on?
Is the telephone line cord connected to the base unit and the
wall jack?
• Disconnect the base from the wall jack and connect another
phone to the same jack. If there is no dial tone in the second
phone, the problem might be your wiring or local service.
• Is the handset out of the base unit’s range? Move closer to
the base unit.
• Make sure the battery is properly charged (12 hours).
• Is the battery pack installed correctly?
