FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
INTRODUCTION
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the bottom of the base of
this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC Registration
Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon
request, provide this information to your telephone company.
ABOUT THE FF2128
An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment.
This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring
using a compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. See Installation Instructions
for details.
The FF2128 is
a
900 MHz Cordless Telephone with Dual Caller
Identifier and Dual Keypad Speakerphone. It is designed and
engineered to exacting standards for reliability, long life, and
outstanding performance.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is
called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN’s of all devices connected to one
line should not exceed five (5.0). 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 to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in
advance. But if advance notice isn’t practical, you will be notified as soon as possible.
You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or
procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you
will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted
telephone service. If you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, disconnect
from the network until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the
equipment is not malfunctioning.

Digital security coding
The USOC number of the registration jack for the equipment is RJ11C.
This equipment is hearing aid compatible.
The FF2128 features include AutoTalk™ and AutoStandby™.
AutoTalk™ allows you to answer a call by just removing the Handset
from the Base so you don’t have to waste time pushing buttons or
flipping switches. AutoStandby™ allows you to hang up by simply
returning the handset to the Base.
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: 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.
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to
nearby TV’s and VCR’s. 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
is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will
often reduce or eliminate the interference. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, 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:
The UltraClear Plus™ true compander circuitry virtually eliminates
background noise. This innovative technology, together with 40
different channels, provides you with the best possible reception
during all your conversations.
TO PROTECT YOU AGAINST MISBILLED CALLS, THE FF2128 HAS
RANDOM CODE™ DIGITAL SECURITY WHICH AUTOMATICALLY
SELECTS ONE OF OVER 65,000 DIGITAL SECURITY CODES FOR
THE HANDSET AND BASE UNIT. ALSO, THE AUTOSECURER™
FEATURE ELECTRONICALLY LOCKS YOUR PHONE WHEN THE

Handset Battery Charging:
The battery pack in the handset must be fully charged for about 10-14 hours before
using the telephone.
After connecting to AC power, leave the handset unused in the cradle for ten to
fourteen hours. Later, it will take less time for the battery to recharge. The LCD display
on the base will show “CHARGING” when the handset is in the cradle.
NOTE:
a. When the battery gets low, the LCD display will show “BATTERY LOW”, and the
unit will beep every 10 seconds.
The FF2128 may be mounted on a wall phone plate or onto two screws (not included)
that you fasten to the wall. For either type of installation, complete the following steps
first.
1. In case of using the standard wall plate, this step is not necessary.
Place the Desk/Wall bracket on the wall and mark the location of the screws. Install
the screws leaving 3/16” extending out from the wall. Use anchors to secure
screws.
b. If the battery becomes low while you are on a call, you will be disconnected after
about 3 minutes. Terminate the call quickly, and put the handset in the base to
recharge the battery.
2. To connect the Desk/Wall bracket in the wall mount position, simply align the
bracket with the slots on the base until it is securely in place.
c. The battery will hold its charge for several days out of the cradle, depending on use.
NOTE:
3. Insert the AC adaptor into the back of the unit.
