IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
This telephone has been tested and found
to comply with all applicable UL and FCC
standards.
FCC STATEMENT
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of the
FCC Rules.Upon request, you must provide
the phone’s FCC registration number and
REN to your phone company. These
numbers are on the base unit.
Your phone is not intended to be used with
party-line systems. Connection to party line
service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the
state public utility commission, public
service commission, or corporation
commission for information. Ô
We have designed your phone to conform
to federal regulations, and you can connect
it to most telephone lines. However, each
phone (and each device, such as a
telephone or answering machine) that you
connect to the telephone line draws power
from the telephone line. We refer to this
power draw as the device’s ringer
equivalence number, or REN on the back of
your phone.
If you use more than one phone or other
device on the line, add up all of the RENs. If
the total is more than five (three in rural
areas), your telephones might not ring. If
ringer operation is impaired, remove a
device from the line.
In the unlikely event that your phone causes
problems on the phone line, the phone
company can temporarily discontinue your
service. If this happens, the phone company
attempts to notify you in advance. If
advance notice is not practical, the phone
company notifies you as soon as possible
and advises you of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC.
Ô NOTE Ô
You must not connect your
phone to:
•
•
coin-operated systems
most electronic key
telephone systems
3
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, operations,
or procedures that could affect the operation
of this phone. The telephone company
notifies you of these changes in advance, so
you can take the necessary steps to prevent
interruption of your telephone service.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation. Privacy of
communications may not be ensured when
using this phone.
SURGE PROTECTION
Your telephone has built-in protection
circuits to reduce the risk of damage from
surges in telephone line and power line
current. These protection circuits meet or
exceed the FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking the telephone or power
lines can damage your telephone.
Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest that
you unplug your phone when storms
approach to reduce the possibility of
damage.
4
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to
persons, including the following:
1. Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bathtub,
wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool.
2. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an
electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from
lightning.
3. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the
leak.
4. Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with
local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
5
IMPORTANT CALLER
ID INFORMATION
To use Caller ID and Call Waiting, you must
be in an area where those services are
available and you must subscribe to those
services through your local phone
company. Where Caller ID is offered, one or
more options are generally available:
• caller’s number only
• caller’s name only
• caller’s name and number
If you subscribe to Call Waiting and Caller
ID, the system can show you incoming
caller information, even when you are
already talking on the phone.
6
INSTALLATION
Before using your phone, carefully peel the
protective film off the display. The film
protects the handset window during
shipment and is not necessary for use.
SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone cradles on a desk
or table, or mount the base on a standard
wall plate or directly on a wall. Select a
location that is Ô
• near an accessible AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, metal walls or
filing cabinets, wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
• away from other cordless phones
The location of the base affects the range of
the handset. If you have a choice of several
locations, try each to see which provides the
best performance.
Ô NOTES Ô
If your home has
•
specially wired alarm
equipment connected to
the telephone line, be
sure that installing the
system does not disable
your alarm equipment.
If you have questions
about what will disable
alarm equipment,
Your telephone connects directly to a
modular telephone line jack. If your
telephone wiring does not have a modular
jack, you can update the wiring yourself
using jacks and adapters, available at your
local RadioShack store, or have the
telephone company update the wiring for
you. You must use compatible modular
jacks that are compliant with Part 68 of FCC
Rules. Ô
contact your telephone
company or a qualified
installer.
•
The USOC number of
the jack to be installed is
RJ11C (or RJ11W for a
wall plate jack).

The smaller cradle is
simply an extracharging
device for either
handset.
You will also need to register the extra
handset by placing it on the main base. The
extra handset WILL NOT operate properly
until the registration has been completed.
Once the handset is registered, it is ready
for use.
Follow these simple steps to register:
1. First, install the battery packs in both
handsets. Place either handset in the
main base cradle, then place the extra
handset in the extra charging cradle.
Charge both handsets for 15-20 hours.
11
2. After fully charging both batteries,
remove the handset in the extra
charging cradle and place it on the
main base cradle. The LED light on the
main base will begin to flash, indicating
that the registration is taking place
between the extra handset and the
main base.
3. Wait for at least five seconds before
removing the handset from the main
base.
Congratulations, the registration has been
completed and your dual handset cordless
phone is ready for use!
WHEN TO RE-REGISTER
HANDSETS
1. You’ll need to re-register the extra
handset (follow steps “Before Using,
Register Extra Handset to the Main
Base Unit” on page 11) each time the
digital security code is changed. Refer
to “Changing the Digital Security Code”
on page 32 for details regarding the
Digital Security Code. Ô
Ô NOTES Ô
•
•
If the extra handset’s
battery becomes very
low, the handset must be
recharged for 15-20
hours and re-registered
to the main base unit.
2. When there is a power failure for more
than one hour, (e.g. due to electrical
storm or if the unit is unplugged during
a move), both handsets will need to be
re-registered. To re-register, follow the
registration process on “Before Using,
Register Extra Handset to the Main
Base Unit” on page 11.
Make sure to return the
handsets to the cradles
after each phone call.
