Digital Spread Spectrum Technology utilizes a “wider frequency band” vs. a “single narrow band”  
used in standard digital transmissions. The 2.4 GHz frequency range was recently released to commercial  
communications. The result is a more secure conversation with the clarity of digital sound, extended  
range, and minimal interference from other cordless phones.  
Random Code™ digital security automatically selects one of over 65,000 codes for the handset and base.  
These features enhance your phone’s security and also prevent unauthorized calls as a result of your  
phone being activated by other equipment.

About the digital security code  
This cordless telephone uses a digital security code  
to prevent unauthorized access to your base unit.  
This security code prevents other cordless handsets  
from making calls through your base unit.  
A random security code will be assigned  
automatically between your base unit and handset  
when you charge the battery pack for the  
first time.  
Step 3  
(page 11 to 12)  
Then, insert the battery pack into the handset.  
You must charge the battery pack for 15 hours  
before using the phone.

Do the following steps.  
• Choose the best location  
• Connect the base unit  
• Choose the dialing mode  
Choose the best location  
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS included in the  
PRECAUTIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS brochure. Here are some important guidelines you  
should consider:  
Avoid noise sources such as a window  
by a street with heavy traffic  
Avoid heat sources, such as  
radiators, air ducts, and sunlight  
Avoid microwave ovens  
Avoid television sets and  
other electronic equipment  
Avoid excessive moisture, extremely  
low temperatures, dust, mechanical  
vibration, or shock  
Avoid personal computers  
Avoid other cordless telephones  
Choose a central location  
You should charge your handset for at least 15-20 hours before using the phone.  
The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet which is  
not switchable.  
Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors and  
fluorescent lighting.  
Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna to a vertical position.  
The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop or mounted on a standard wall plate.

Direct wall plate mounting  
If you don’t have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone  
directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:  
Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting  
location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into  
the wall.  
Try to mount your phone within 10 - 15 feet of a working phone  
jack to avoid excessive cord lengths.  
Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of  
the base and handset.  
Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring  
devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will  
be placed.

Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW) performs the same as regular Caller ID on a call waiting number.  
Call waiting options allow you to handle call waiting calls in six different ways. (See page 34.)  
You must subscribe to CIDCW from your phone company in order to use this feature.  
If you enter a 3-digit area code number in the Area Code option, your local area code does not  
appear in Caller ID messages. When reviewing Caller ID messages, you will see only the local seven digit  
number. For calls received from outside your local area code, you will see a full 10-digit number.
