User’s Guide

Equipment Approval Information
Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public Switched 

Telephone Network and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and 

Regulations and the Technical Requirements for Telephone Terminal Equipment 

published by ACTA.
1  Notification to the Local Telephone Company

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the 

US number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, 

upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your 

telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone number 

is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected 

to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may 

connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local 

telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and 

telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and 

requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular 

plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible 

modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.
Notes 
• This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone 

company.

• Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to use 

your own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local 

telephone company.

• Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection 

of your telephone from your line.

• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone

Caller ID (CID)

IMPORTANT: In order to use this unit’s Caller ID features, 

you must subscribe to either the standard Name/Number 

Caller ID Service or Call Waiting Caller ID Service. To 

know who is calling while you are on the phone, you must 

subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID Service.

This unit receives and displays information transmitted by your local phone 

company. This information can include the phone number, date, and time; or 

the name, phone number, date, and time. 

Call Waiting Caller ID
Provided you subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID service from your phone 

company; if you receive an incoming call and you are already on the phone, 

a beep indicates the presence of a Call Waiting call on the line.  Only the 

handset that is in use at the time of the call will display and store the Call

first and second ring. The Caller ID information appears on the display while 

the phone rings, giving you a chance to monitor the information and decide 

whether or not to answer the call.
Storing CID Records (In CID Memory)

If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone’s Caller ID memory 

stores the data for the 40 most recent calls you received so you can see who 

called while you were unavailable. When the 41st call is received, the oldest 

Caller ID record (1st call) is automatically deleted.
You may review the stored information at any time. Calls received since your 

last review show as 

NEw in the display. Calls that have not been previously 

reviewed but were received from the same number more than once show as 

REPT in the display.

Telephone Jack Requirements

jack, call your local phone company to find out how to 

get one installed.
Installation 

Digital Security System

Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false 

ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.

INSTALLATION NOTE:  Some cordless telephones operate 

at frequencies that may cause or receive interference 

with 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 

5.8 GHz  / 900 MHz frequency for communication, and, if 

not properly set, these devices may interfere with each 

other and/or your new telephone. If you are concerned 

with interference, please refer to the owner’s manual for 

these devices on how to properly set channels to avoid 

interference. Typical devices that may use the 5.8 GHz 

frequency for communication include wireless audio/video 

senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset 

cordless telephone systems, and some long-range cordless 

telephone systems.

Important Installation Guidelines

•  Avoid sources of noise and heat, such as motors, fluorescent lighting, 

microwave ovens, heating appliances and direct sunlight.

•   Avoid areas of excessive dust, moisture and low temperature.
•   Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.
•  Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
•  Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is 

specifically designed for wet locations.

•  Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the 

telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
