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
stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.
NOTE: Alkaline (NEDA 1604A) batteries are

recommended. Carbon-zinc (NEDA 1604) batteries may
be used but memory holding time will be substantially
reduced. Memory holding time for a fresh alkaline
battery is approximately 3 months (if Wake System
is not activated), which should take care of short,
nuisance-type AC power failures. To preserve battery
life, the phone should remain plugged into an AC
electrical outlet. As the battery gets older, its voltage
drops and memory may be lost. Be sure to replace the
battery periodically. A backup battery is not included
with this telephone.

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information,
the US number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You
must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.
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.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and
telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the 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. See installation instructions for details.

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
Set Alarm Length
NOTE: The charge indicator (on the base) turns on when
the handset is on the cradle, to signal the battery is

FM stereo is a built-in function.
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.
AM Antenna

connect the AM loop antenna to the jack on the back of the base.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of personal injury, fire, or
damage use only the 5-2608 and/or 5-2769 power
adaptor(s) listed in the user’s guide. This power
adaptor is intended to be correctly orientated in a
vertical or floor mount position.
FM Antenna
- OR -
The power cord acts as your FM antenna. The power cord picks up
moderate to strong signals and eliminates the need for an external
antenna in most strong signal areas. Be sure the power cord is
stretched to its longest length. Do not coil or bunch the cord together.

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.
Battery Backup
This telephone is equipped with a memory holding system powered by
a customer-installed 9-volt alkaline battery (not included).
Headphone Output
When electrical power is interrupted, or the electrical line is
unplugged, the battery operates the clock to retain the time of day
and alarm settings in memory. When the unit is running on battery
power, the digital display does not light up; however, if wake time
occurs during the power interruption, the alarm buzzer sounds
(regardless of the type of alarm tone selected) if remaining battery
power is adequate. Normal operation resumes after electrical power
is restored.
To install the backup battery:
1. Open the battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the
base.
If the headphone jack is inserted into the headphone output jack on
the base unit, the speaker output will be automatically switched to the
headphone terminal.
