• Use only alkaline 9V batteries (purchased separately).
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. Like other batteries of this type,
it could explode if burned. Check with local codes for special disposal
instructions.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and
may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit. Do
not allow conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, or keys to touch the
battery. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm.
• Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery and metallic
contacts.
Do not disassemble your telephone. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Refer to qualified service personnel for servicing.

Glossary
Caller ID: Caller identification is a subscriber service available from most local
telephone companies for a fee. When you subscribe to caller identification, you
can see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the
telephone, if you and the caller are both in areas offering caller ID service with
compatible equipment.
Caller ID with call waiting: This is a single, combined subscriber service which
may be available from your local telephone company. If you subscribe to
this service, you can use your 993 telephone to see the name and telephone
number of the caller even while on another call (as long as the caller is in
an area with caller ID service and both telephone companies use compatible
equipment).
COVM: Central office voicemail is a subscriber voice message service which
may be available from the local telephone company. This service may be called
by another name in your area (e.g., call answering or voicemail).
Home area code: This is the area code for your telephone number. Most
users simply dial the seven digits of a telephone number to make a call within
their own area code and ꢀꢀ digits outside of their area code. If this applies
to you, enter your own area code into the unit as the home area code. After
programming, if there is a call from within your home area code, the screen
will display the seven digits of the telephone number.
You may, however, live in a region where you are required to dial ꢀ0 digits for
calls within your area code (area code and telephone number). If this applies
to you, enter 000 for the home area code and enter your area code as a local
area code. After programming, if there is a call from within your area code,
the screen displays the ꢀ0 digits of the telephone number. Be sure to follow
the directions under Program home and local area codes on page 26 during
feature setup.
Local area code: Most users dial ꢀꢀ digits to make calls outside their own
area codes. If this applies to you, you do not need to program any local area
codes.
However, if you dial only ꢀ0 digits to make calls to areas outside your
own area code (without dialing ꢀ), then program these local area codes
into the telephone. Up to four local area codes can be programmed. After
programming, if there is an incoming call from one of these local area codes,
the screen displays the ꢀ0 digits of the telephone number. See Program
home and local area codes on page 26 for instructions.
Navigation buttons: These are the buttons used when setting up your 993
telephone and for scrolling through the feature options (ENTER,
,
,
,
).
Primary Line: This is the line on your telephone designated to be selected
automatically when you lift the handset, press SPEAKER, or press HEADSET.

This product has a caller ID function with call waiting
feature which works with service from your local
telephone company.
L2
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and
telephone number of the caller before answering the
telephone, even while on another call.
It may be necessary to change your telephone service to
use this feature. Contact your telephone company if:
• You do not have any caller ID or call waiting services.
• You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting
service.
• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate
services (you may need combined service).
This product can be used with regular caller ID service,
or this product’s other features can be used without
subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with
call waiting service.
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services
may not be available in all areas.
Depending on your service, you may see the caller’s
number or the caller’s name and number. This product
can provide information only if both you and the caller are
in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone
companies use compatible equipment. The time and date
are sent by the telephone company along with the call
information.

Troubleshooting
If you have difficulty with your telephone, please try the suggestions below.
call 1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
• Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into
an outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
My telephone
does not work
at all.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly
into the telephone base and the modular wall jack.
• Unplug the telephone’s electrical power. Wait for
approximately ꢀ5 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow
up to one minute for the telephone to synchronize.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone
line wall jack and plug in a working telephone. If this
telephone does not work, the problem is probably in
the wiring or the local service. Call the local telephone
company.
• First, try all the above suggestions. Also inspect the
coiled handset cord connections at both ends.
• The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try
installing a new telephone line cord.
There is no dial
tone.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack
and connect a different telephone. If there is no dial tone
on the telephone either, the problem is in your wiring or
local service. Contact your local telephone company.
• Make sure HOLD is not pressed.
• If there is no dial tone when the HEADSET key is
pressed, make sure the headset is firmly connected in
the headset jack.
I cannot dial out. • First, try all the above suggestions in the There is no
dial tone section.
• Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is
normal if the telephone takes a second or two to
synchronize before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra
second before dialing.
• Check that all the telephones connected to the same
telephone line are hung up.
• If the other telephones in your home are having
the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or
local service. Contact your local telephone company
(charges may apply).
58
Appendix
Troubleshooting
• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a
television, radio, or other appliances may cause the
telephone to not dial out properly. If you cannot
eliminate the background noise, first try muting the
telephone before dialing, or dialing from another room
in your home with less background noise.
Batt is displayed
on screen.
• There is no spare battery in the telephone or the
battery power is low.
• Remove and re-install the battery and use it normally.
• If the above measures do not correct the problem, the
battery may need to be replaced.
The telephone
does not ring
when there is an
incoming call.
• Make sure the ringer is on (see page 32).
• Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter
are plugged in properly (pages ꢀ0-ꢀꢀ).
• There may be too many extension telephones on
the telephone line to allow all of them to ring
simultaneously. Try unplugging some of them.
• If the other telephones in your home are having the
same problem, the problem is in the wiring or local
service. Contact the local telephone company (charges
may apply).
• Other electronic products can cause interference
to your telephone. Try installing your telephone as
far away as possible from the following electronic
devices: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager
towers, cellular telephones, digital telephones, room
monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen
appliances, and other cordless telephones.
• Test a working telephone at the same telephone jack. If
another telephone has the same problem, the problem
is in the telephone jack. Contact your local telephone
company (charges may apply).
• The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try
installing a new telephone line cord.
There is noise
or interference
during a telephone
conversation.
• Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into
the same circuit as the telephone base can cause
interference. Try moving the appliance or telephone
base to another outlet.

• If you have a headset plugged into the telephone, try
unplugging it and firmly plugging it in again.
• If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a
surge protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge
protector) into a different location. If this doesn't
solve the problem, relocate your telephone or modem
farther apart from each other, or use a different surge
protector.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack
and plug in another corded telephone. If the calls are
still not clear, the problem is probably in the wiring
or local service. Contact your local service company
(charges may apply).
• Do you have DSL service? If yes, you need to have a
DSL filter installed. Contact your DSL service provider
for a DSL filter.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone

service. Call your local telephone company.

FCC and ACTA information
If this equipment was approved for connection to the telephone network prior
to July 23, 200ꢀ, it complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) rules. If the equipment was approved after that date,
it complies with the Part 68 rules and with Technical Requirements for
Connection of Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted by the
Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). We are required to
provide you with the following information.
1. Product identifier and REN information
The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other
things, an identifier indicating product approval and the Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN). This information must be provided to your local telephone

technical requirements adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and
modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected
to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. An RJꢀꢀ jack should
normally be used for connecting to a single line and an RJꢀ4 jack for two
lines, see installation instructions in the user’s manual. This equipment may
not be used with coin telephone lines or with party lines. If you have specially
wired alarm dialing equipment connected to your telephone line, ensure the
connection of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you
have questions about what will disable the alarm equipment, consult your
telephone company or qualified installer.
3. Repair instructions
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from the modular
jack until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone
equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its authorized agents.
For repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined under the limited
warranty.

FCC and ACTA information
4. Rights of the telephone company
If this equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company may temporarily discontinue your telephone service. The telephone
company is required to notify you before interrupting service. If advance
notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be
given the opportunity to correct the problem and the telephone company is
required to inform you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Your
telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation,
or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of this product. The
telephone company is required to notify you if such changes are planned.
5. Hearing aid compatibility
If this product is equipped with a corded or cordless handset, it is hearing aid
compatible.
6. Programming/testing of emergency numbers
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose to store police,
fire department and emergency medical service telephone numbers in these
locations. If you do, please keep three things in mind:
a. We recommend that you also write the telephone number on the directory
card (if applicable), so that you can still dial the emergency number
manually if the memory dialing feature does not work.
b. This feature is provided only as a convenience, and the manufacturer
assumes no responsibility for customer reliance upon the memory feature.
c. Testing the emergency telephone numbers you have stored is not
recommended. However, if you do make a call to an emergency number:
• You must remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call
before hanging up.
• Programming/testing of emergency numbers should be performed
during off-peak hours, such as in the early morning or late evening,
when the emergency services tend to be less busy.

Appendix
Part 15 of FCC rules
Some telephone equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency
energy and, if not installed and used properly, may cause interference to radio
and television reception. This product has been tested and found to meet the
standards for a class B digital device, as specified in part ꢀ5 of the FCC rules.
These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against
such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this product causes interference to radio, VCR or television reception when
it is in use, you might correct the interference with any one or all of these
measures:
• Where it can be done safely, re-orient the receiving radio, VCR or television
antenna.
• To the extent possible, relocate the radio, VCR, television or other receiver
with respect to the telephone equipment.
• If this telephone product runs on AC power, plug your product into an AC
outlet that is not on the same circuit as one used by your radio, VCR or
television.
Modifications to this product, not expressly approved by the manufacturer,
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
