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.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS  
Although you can use your GE 2-line cordless telephone with a single  
phone line, you must have two lines (separate phone numbers) to use a  
two-line system. The following diagrams show two possible systems:  
Two Lines on Single Modular Jack  
One type of two-line phone  
system uses a single RJ14  
modular jack which contains both  
phone lines. Connect the phone  
cord to the L1 or L2 jack.  
You must use a 4-conductor  
telephone line cord like the ones  
that are packed with your unit.  
Line 1  
Line 2  
Each Line on a Separate Modular Jack  
If you have two separate phone  
jacks, each with its own line,  
connect one of the phone cords to  
the L2 jack, and connect the  
remaining phone cord to the L1 or  
L2 phone jack located on the back  
of the phone.  
NOTE: Connect the phone cord  
from the L1 or L2 jack to the  
outlet that you want to be line 1.  
NOTE: Two-line capability  
requires two-line service from  
your local telephone company.

2. Set the T/P switch to T for touch-tone service, or P for pulse (rotary)  
service. If you don’t know which type of service you have, check with  
the phone company.  
3. Raise the base antenna.  
4. Set the RING switch to ON so the handset rings for incoming calls.  
5. Plug the telephone line cord into the L1 or L2 jack located on the back of  
the phone and into a dual line modular jack.  
6. Plug the power supply cord into the base and into an AC outlet.  
7. Place handset in the base to charge for 12 hours. The CHARGE/PAGE  
light comes on indicating that the battery is charging. If you don’t  
charge the handset battery properly (for 12 hours) when you first set up  
the phone, the battery’s long-term performance will be compromised.  
NOTE: Use only the Thomson 5-2420A or 5-2420B power supply that came  
with this unit. Using other adapters may damage the unit.

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 TALK light on?  
— Is the telephone line cord connected to the base unit and  
the wall jack?  
— Is a headset connected to the handset? The handset  
receiver and microphone are temporarily disabled when  
you connect the headset  
• 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 the base unit’s range?Move closer to the  
base unit.  
• Make sure the battery is properly charged (12 hours).  
• Is the battery pack installed correctly? See page 18.  
• If the phone still does not work, disconnect the power cord  
and remove the battery pack. Then reconnect the power cord  
and reinstall the battery pack. Place handset in the base for  
10 seconds to allow it to reinitialize.  
• Make sure RING/PWR switch on the handset is turned on.
