User’s Guide
Because it is necessary to charge the handset
for 12 hours prior to connecting the phone for
use 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.
Use the MUTE button to interrupt a phone conversation to talk privately with someone
else in the room.
Use the RE/PA button to insert a pause when a delay is needed in the dialing sequence
(for example, when you must dial a 9 to get an outside line or when you must enter
codes to access your bank’s information line). Each pause counts toward the 20-digit
limit.
•
Do not burn, disassemble, mutilate, or puncture. Like other batteries of this type,
toxic materials could be released which can cause injury.

• Place handset in base for 10 seconds to
reset the phone. If that doesn’t work,
charge battery for 12 hours.
Your 900 MHz Cordless Telephone is designed to give you flexibility in use and high

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.
IMPORTANT: If you make test calls to emergency numbers stored in memory, remain
on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call to the dispatcher. Also, it’s a good
idea to make these calls in off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.
7. Raise the base antenna.
• Disconnect the base from the wall jack
and connect another phone to the same

• Is the battery pack installed correctly?
• If the phone still does not work, discon-

HEADSET AND BELT CLIP OPERATION
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.

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

The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of these
