The equipment must be installed using an acceptable method of connection.
The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may
not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian
maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations
made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the

connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water
pipe systems, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.

Interference Information
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy which may
interfere with residential radio and television reception if not properly installed
and used in accordance with instructions contained in this manual. Reasonable
protection against such interference is ensured, although there is no guarantee
this will not occur in a given installation. If interference is suspected and
verified by switching this equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient the
radio/television receiver’s antenna, relocate the equipment with respect to the
receiver, plug the equipment and receiver into separate circuit outlets. The user
may also wish to consult a qualified radio/television technician for additional
suggestions. This equipment has been fully tested and complies with all limits
for Class B computing devices pursuant to part 15 FCC Rules and Regulations.
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
REN Number
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information,
the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment.
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.
REN Number is located on the cabinet bottom.

Compatibility.
Installing the Phone
Connecting the Telephone Line
Choose the best location to install your telephone. Your telephone should be
placed on a level surface, such as a desk or table top.
1. Plug one end of the
straight telephone line
cord into the PHONE LINE
jack on the base.
2. Plug the other end into a
wall jack.
3. Plug one end of the coiled
handset cord into the jack on
the handset.
4. Plug the other end into the HANDSET jack on the back of the base.
5. Place the handset on the base cradle.
6. Set the RINGER and DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS switches on the back of
the base to the desired settings.
7. Set the VOL switch on the side of the handset to the
desired setting.
Connecting the Electrical Power
1. Plug one end of the power supply cord into the back of the base.
2. Plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of personal injury, fire, or
damage use only the 5-2769 power adaptor listed in
the user’s guide. This power adaptor is intended to
be correctly orientated in a vertical or floor mount
position.
“No Worry” Battery Backup
This telephone is equipped with a memory holding system powered by a
customer-installed 9-volt alkaline battery (not included).
When electrical power is interrupted, or the electrical line is unplugged, the
battery operates the clock to retain the time of day and alarm settings in
memory. When the unit is running on battery power, the digital display does
not light up; however, if wake time occurs during the power interruption,
the alarm buzzer sounds (regardless of the type of alarm tone selected)
if remaining battery power is adequate. Normal operation resumes after
electrical power is restored.
Install the backup battery as follows:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover
located on the bottom of the base.
2. Connect a fresh 9-volt alkaline battery
(not included). Interlock the large and
small contacts on the battery clip and the
battery. Once connected, place the battery
inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
NOTE: Alkaline (NEDA 1604A) batteries are
recommended. Carbon-zinc (NEDA 1604) batteries
may be used but memory holding time will be
substantially reduced. Memory holding time for a
fresh alkaline battery is approximately 3 months (if
Wake System is not activated), which should take
care of short, nuisance-type AC power failures.
To preserve battery life, the phone should remain
plugged into an AC electrical outlet. As the battery
gets older, its voltage drops and memory may be
lost. Be sure to replace the battery periodically. A
backup battery is not included with this telephone.
NOTE: If battery is not installed:
a) All memory will be lost if the unit is unplugged for
more than 60 seconds.
b) The clock will stop running during a power outage
period but will start running when power resumes.
The clock will blink to indicate that the time may not
be correct.
IMPORTANT: If storing this unit for more than 30
days, remove the battery.
