Telephone base installation  
It is recommended to install the telephone base away from any electronic equipment and appliances  
such as personal computers, computer routers, television sets, microwave ovens, and refrigerators.  
Avoid excessive heat, cold, dust or moisture. When a location is selected, install the telephone base  
and the charger as shown below.  
• Plug the connector into the power jack at the bottom of the telephone base and chargers. Route cords  
through slots and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.  
• Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the telephone line jack at the bottom of the telephone  
base. Route the telephone line cord through slot, then plug the other end of the cord into the  
modular wall telephone outlet.  
Use only the AC  
power adapter  
supplied with this  
telephone.  
This power unit  
is intended to be  
correctly oriented  
in a vertical  
or floor mount  
position. The  
prongs are not  
designed to hold  
the plug in place  
if it is plugged  
into a ceiling or  
an under-the-  
table/cabinet  
outlet.  
Your telephone base comes with the bracket installed for desktop use. If you prefer to mount your  
telephone on the wall, plug in the telephone line cord and the power adapter to the telephone base as  
instructed above before changing it to a wall mount position (see page 7 for bracket installation).

About caller ID  
The caller ID with call waiting features in this telephone lets you see the name and telephone number  
of the caller before answering the call, even when you’re already on a call. These features require  
services provided by your local telephone company.  
Contact your telephone company if:  
• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined  
service),  
• You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service, or  
• You do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services but wish to try these services.  
You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service, and you can use its other features without  
subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. There may be fees for  
these services, and they may not be available in all areas.  
The caller ID features will work only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service,  
and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.  
Voicemail service  
If you subscribe to voicemail service provided by your telephone company, you can receive voicemail  
left by the caller. When you have new voicemail, the handset will display NEW VOICE MAIL

the telephone wall jack. To obtain a DSL filter and more information about DSL interference, contact  
your DSL service provider.

Troubleshooting  
Problem  
Suggestion  
I cannot dial out.  
• First, try all the above suggestions.  
• Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the cordless handset takes a second  
or two to synchronize with the telephone before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second  
before dialing.  
• Make sure the telephone is set to the correct dial mode (pulse dial or tone dial) for the service  
in your area. Refer to the Dial type section of this user’s manual (page 12) to set the dial  
mode.  
• If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring  
or local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).  
• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio, or other appliances may cause  
the telephone to not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, first try  
muting the cordless handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with  
less background noise.

Operating range  
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a  
certain distance ----which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or office.  
When the handset is out of range, the handset will display Searching. The user can access the handset directory, and certain parts of the menu system, i.e. handset setting and registration, but not  
the time setting and base setting. Not possible will be displayed if access is tried.  
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does ring, the call might not connect well when you press TALK/FLASH. Move closer to the telephone base, then press  
TALK/FLASH to answer the call.  
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference.  
To improve reception, move closer to the base.  
Maintenance  
Taking care of your telephone  
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.  
Avoid rough treatment  
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.  
Avoid water  
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install your telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.  
Electrical storms  
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, use caution when using electric appliances during storms.  
Cleaning your telephone  
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap. Do not use excess water or  
cleaning solvents of any kind.  
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in water. If your telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UN-  
PLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

About cordless telephones  
Privacy: the same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the base and the cordless handset by radio waves, so  
there is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think  
of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.  
Electrical Power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot  
be made from the cordless handset if the telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.  
Potential TV Interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place  
the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone father away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or  
eliminate the interference. (Applies to 25 channel cordless telephones only).  
Rechargeable Battery(ies): This product contains either Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable battery(ies). Exercise care in handling battery(ies) in order not to short the  
battery with conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery  
charger.  
Nickel-Metal Hydride Rechargeable Battery(ies): Dispose of these battery(ies) in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other battery(ies) of this type, if burned or punctured, they  
could release caustic material which could cause injury.
