BEFORE YOU BEGIN  
MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS  
You need an RJ11 type modular jack, which is the most  
common type of phone jack and 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.  
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies  
that may cause interference to nearby TVs 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 or VCR. If interference continues, moving the cordless  
telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the  
interference.

ANYROOM RECHARGE CRADLE  
In addition to recharging the cord-  
less telephone, batteries in the base  
unit, you can use the Anyroom™  
recharge cradle anywhere there is an  
AC power outlet.

When fully charged, the battery pack  
provides sufficient power to enable  
the cordless phone to be left out of  
the recharge cradle for prolonged  
periods and still function properly.  
However, to maintain adequate  
power, you will need to charge the  
battery pack every few days by  
returning the cordless phone to the  
Anyroomrecharge cradle or to the  
base unit.

sequence of a stored telephone number when a pause is

2. Press MEMORY, and then press the number for that memory location.  
CAUTION: If you make test calls to emergency numbers stored in  
memory, remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call to

such as early morning or late evening.

instance if you use a calling card for a frequently called long distance  
number. Basically, you dial each part of the sequence from memory.  
The following example shows how you can use chain dialing to make a  
call through a long distance service:

tone services offered by banks, credit card companies, etc. by pressing the

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE  
In case of difficulty, please check the following Troubleshooting Guide  
before seeking service.  
Problem  
Solution  
No dial tone  
• Check installation:  
— Is the base power cord connected to a working  
outlet?  
— Is the Phone-in-Use light on?  
— Is the telephone line cord connected to the base  
unit and the wall jack?  
• Disconnect the base from the wall jack and connect  
another phone to the same jack. If there is no dial tone  
in the second phone, the problem might be your  
wiring or local service.  
• Is the handset out of range of the base?  
• Make sure the battery is properly charged (12 hours).  
• Is the battery pack installed correctly? See page 8.  
• Did the handset beep when you pressed the phone  
button? Did the Phone-in-Use light come on? The  
battery may need to be charged.
