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.
Congratulations on purchasing this GE telephone/answering system.
This system operates in the 5.8GHz/900MHz frequency range, and is
unique to conventional cordless telephones. When the base is
connected to electrical power and a telephone line, it can support a
cordless handset. And you can place the fully featured cordless handset
anywhere electrical power is available.
Features:
•
•
•
•
•
5.8GHz Technology
Speakerphone
Call Waiting and Caller ID Compatible
Tone/Pulse Dialing
Call Transfer
This telephone has been designed to be simple to use, however, you can
reach its full potential more quickly by taking a few minutes to read this
instruction book. This telephone is a multifunction product for use with 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 while you are on the
phone (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 in each handset and
the base.
6
•
•
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.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause or receive interference with 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 ovens, or VCR. If such
interference continues, move the cordless telephone farther away from these
appliances. Certain other communications devices may also use the 5.8GHz/
900MHz 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 User’s Guide for these devices
on how to properly set channels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may
use the 5.8GHz/900MHz frequency for communication include wireless
audio/video senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless
telephone systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.
