Telephone Network Information

telephone network, the telephone company, where practicable, may 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.
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. If these changes are expected

to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the

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.

Licensing

Licensed under US Patent 6,427,009.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)

This telephone system meets FCC/Industry Canada standards for Hearing

Aid Compatibility.

Telephone Operation

Redial

This unit redials up to 32 digits. To automatically redial the last number

you called:
1. Pick up the handset and wait for a dial tone.
2. Press the redial button.

Flash

Press the flash button instead of the hook switch to activate custom

calling services such as call waiting or call transfer. Custom calling

services are provided by the phone company.

Receiver Volume

You may control the listening level with the volume switch on the bottom

of the handset. It has 3 levels: lo, mid, and high.

Ringer Volume

You may control the ringer volume level with the switch located above the

touch tone pad on the handset.
= ringer tone will be loud
= ringer tone will be low
= telephone will not ring

Troubleshooting Tips

No dial tone.

• Press and release the hook switch. Check the hook switch: Does it fully

extend when the handset is lifted from the cradle?

Phone doesn’t ring.

• Make sure RINGER switch (located on the handset) is set to loud or low.
• Are you using too many phones on one line? (The total REN of all

phones on the same line should not be greater than the maximum

REN for your calling area. See Equipment Approval Information).

Other party cannot hear you.

• Make sure phone cord is securely plugged in.
• Make sure extension phones are on the hook at the same time you’re

using the phone. It is normal for the volume to drop when additional

extension phones are used at the same time.

Phone “howls” when handset is placed near the base and handset volume

level is too high.

• This is normal feedback due to handset volume level being set

to maximum.

General Product Care

To keep your telephone working and looking good, follow these guidelines:

• Avoid putting the phone near heating appliances and devices that

generate electrical noise (for example, motors or fluorescent lamps).

• DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture.
• Avoid dropping and other rough treatment to the phone.
• Clean with a soft cloth.
• Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because this

will damage the finish.

• Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship the phone at a

later date.
