INTRODUCTION
CAUTION: When using telephone equipment, there are basic safety
instructions that should always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this product and save them for
future reference.
Congratulations on purchasing this GE Dual Cordless HandsetTelephone
System .This system operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency range, and is unique to
conventional cordless telephones. When the base is connected to electrical
power and a telephone line, it can support up to two cordless handsets, and
you can place a fully featured cordless handset anywhere an electrical power
line is available.

This telephone has been designed to be sim ple to use, however, you can
reach its full potential m ore quickly by taking a few m inutes to read this
instruction book.This telephone is a m ultifunction product for use with Call
Waiting and Caller ID services available from your local telephone com pany.
5
Your Caller ID Call Waiting phone allows you to:
•
view the nam e and telephone num ber of a caller while you are on the
phone (Call Waiting Caller ID).
•
•
•
identify callers before you answer the phone.
view the tim e and date of each incom ing call.
record up to 40 Caller ID m essages sequentially in each handset and the
base.
•
•
know who called while you are on the other line or when you were away.
screen unwanted calls, elim inate harassm ent from annoying calls, or to
get prepared before answering a call.
IMPORTANT: Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should
have at least one phone in your home that isn’t cordless, in case the power in
your home goes out.
IMPORTANT: In order to use all of the features of this telephone, you must
subscribe to two separate services available from your local telephone
company: the standard Name/Number Caller ID Service to know who is
calling when the phone rings and Caller ID with Call Waiting Service to know
who is calling while you are on the phone.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to nearby TVs, microwave ovens, 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, microwave ovens, or VCR. If such
interference continues, move the cordless telephone farther away from these
appliances. Certain other communications devices may also use the 2.4 GHz
frequency for communication, and, if not properly set, these devices may
interfere with each other and/or your new telephone. Typical devices that may
use the 2.4 GHz frequency for communication include wireless audio/video
senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone
systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.

CORDLESS PHONE BASICS
SPEAKERPHONE
For hands-free operation and convenience, your dual-handset system is
equipped with a speakerphone.
For best speakerphone perform ance, avoid the following:
•
Areas with high background noise. (The m icrophone m ight pick up
these sounds.)
•
•
Surfaces affected by vibration.
Recessed areas such as in a corner, under a cupboard, or next to a
cabinet, which can generate an echo effect.
Note the following guidelines when using the speakerphone:
•
The speakerphone works sim ilar to a two-way radio. You can only listen
or talk at one tim e.
•
Stay reasonably close to the phone so that you can be clearly heard by
the person to whom you are talking.
NOTE: Only one-way conversation is possible in speakerphone mode. When
you are speaking, you are transmitting. When you are listening, you are
receiving. You can’t do both at the same time. The phone automatically
switches between transmitting and receiving depending on the level of the
voice or the room noise detected by the speakerphone microphone.
CHARGE INDICATOR
When the charge indicator is lit, the handset is correctly seated in the
