EQUIREMENTS
To properly connect your phone to your telephone lines, you will need an RJ11 (CA11A) 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.

YSTEM
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.

the first time, it is better to leave the unit on a flat surface during initial charge before attempting to
hang it on the wall.
1. Set the ringer switch (on the handset front) to ON, and place handset in the cradle on the base.
2. Plug one end of the power supply into the power jack on the back of the base and the other end
into an electrical outlet. The “in use/charge” indicator comes on, verifying the battery is charging.
Allow the phone to charge for 12 hours prior to first use. If you don't properly charge the
phone, battery performance will be compromised.
3. Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone jack on the bottom of the base and into a modular
wall phone jack.
4. Slip the mounting holes over the wall plate posts and slide the unit down firmly into place. (Wall
plate not included.)
5. Place the handset in the cradle.
NOTE: The phone automatically defaults to touch-tone dialing. To change to pulse (rotary) dialing, see
“Tone/Pulse Dialing.” If you don’t know which type of service you have, check with the phone company.

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the 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 telephone company will
likely give you adequate notice to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon termination of your telephone from your line.

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.

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.
