Digital Spread Spectrum Technology utilizes a “wider  
frequency band” vs. a “single narrow band” used in standard  
digital transmissions. 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. This feature  
prevents unauthorized calls as a result of your phone being  
activated by other equipment.

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 with anchoring devices suitable for the wall  
material where the base unit will be placed.

Setting ring time switch  
The ring time/toll saver switch  
allows you to set the number of  
rings the caller hears before the  
answering system plays your  
outgoing message. You can set  
the switch to answer after two  
rings or after four rings. In the  
RING TIME  
2/4/TS  
TS (Toll Saver) position, the answering system picks up after two  
rings if you have new messages, and after four rings if there are  
none. This way, if you call long distance to check your messages,  
you can hang up after the third ring to avoid billing charges.

Changing the digital security code  
The digital security code is an identification code used to connect  
the handset and the base unit. Normally, setting the code is not  
necessary.  
The first time you charge your handset, the security code is

is using the same security code, you can change the code.  
If the handset battery pack  
is completely discharged  
or the battery pack is  
removed, the digital  
security code will be lost.  
If this happens, a new  
security code is set  
automatically next time  
the battery pack is  
charged.
