READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
Important:
• Cordless phones such as this one require
AC power to operate. When the AC
power is off, you cannot dial out or
receive incoming calls using your phone.
For this reason, the phone should not be
your only telephone. To be safe, you
should also have a phone that does not
require AC power to operate (not a cord-
less phone) so you can still make and
receive calls if there is an AC power fail-
ure.
• When AC power is lost, the phone loses
the security access-protection code con-
nection between the base and the hand-
set. When power is restored, put the
handset on the base briefly to restore this
connection so you can use the handset.
• Some cordless telephones operate on
frequencies that might 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.
• Your cordless phone operates on stan-
dard radio frequencies, as allocated by
the FCC. Even though your phone’s
access protection code prevents unau-
thorized use of your phone line, it is pos-
sible for other radio units operating on
similar frequencies within a certain area
to unintentionally intercept your conver-
sations and/or cause interference. This
possible lack of privacy can occur with
any cordless phone.
FCC STATEMENT
We have designed your phone to conform to
federal regulations and you can connect it to
most phone lines. However, each device that
you connect to the telephone line draws pow-
er from the line. We refer to this power draw
as the phone’s ringer equivalence number, or
REN. The REN is on the bottom of your
phone.
If you use more than one phone or other de-
vice on the line, add up all the RENs. If the to-
tal is more than five (three in rural areas), your
phones might not ring. If ringer operation is
impaired, remove one of the devices from the
line.
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of the
FCC Rules. Upon request, you must provide
the phone’s FCC registration number and
REN to your telephone company. These num-
bers are on the bottom of the base.
Note: You must not connect your telephone
to:
• coin-operated systems
