Connecting the AC (Electrical) Power
Plug the power supply cord into the power jack on the bottom of the base and the
other end into an electrical outlet. The in use/charge indicator (on the base) turns
on to indicate the battery is charging when the handset is on the cradle.
Allow the phone to charge for 16 hours prior to first use. If you don’t properly
charge the phone, battery performance is compromised.
CAUTION:
Use only the ATLINKS USA, Inc. power adaptor 5-2616 (black)
or 5-2617 (gray) power adaptor that came with this unit. Using other power
adaptors may damage the unit.
Introduction
CAUTION:
When using telephone equipment, there are basic safety
instructions that should always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this product and save them for
future reference.
Your cordless telephone system with Caller ID and Call Waiting is designed to give
you flexibility in use and high quality performance. To get the most from your new
cordless telephone system, we suggest that you take a few minutes right now to
read through this instruction manual. This telephone is a multifunction product
for use with the Call Waiting and Caller ID services available from your local
telephone company. Your Caller ID Call Waiting phone allows you to:
• View the name and telephone number of a caller (Call Waiting Caller ID).
• Identify callers before you answer the phone.
• View the time and date of each incoming call.
• Record up to 40 Caller ID messages sequentially.
• Know who called while you are on the other line or when you were away.
• Screen unwanted calls, eliminate harassment from annoying calls, or to get
prepared before answering a call.
IMPORTANT:
In order to use all of the features of this telephone, you must subscribe
to two separate services available from your local telephone company: the standard
Name/Number Caller ID Service to know who is calling when the phone rings and Caller
ID with Call Waiting Service to know who is calling while you are on the phone. Because
cordless phones operate on electricity, you should have at least one phone in your home
that isn’t cordless, in case the power in your home goes out.
Before You Begin
Parts Checklist
Make sure your package includes the items shown here.
Telephone Jack Requirements
To use this phone, you need an RJ11C type modular
telephone jack, which might look like the one pictured here,
installed in your home. If you don’t have a modular jack,
call your local phone company to find out how to get one
installed.
Digital Security System
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect 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 or receive interference with 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 such interference continues, move the cordless telephone farther away
from these appliances. Certain other communications devices may also use the
2.4 GHz frequency for communication, and, if not 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
2.4 GHz frequency for communication include wireless audio/video senders,
wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some
long-range cordless telephone systems.

Interference Information
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.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer
or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Also,
the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How
To Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available
from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify
