TELEPHONE JACK REQUIREMENTS
To use this phone, you need an RJ11C type modular telephone jack, which
might look like the one pictured here, installed in your home. If you don’t
have a modular jack, call your local phone company to find out how to get
one installed.
DIGITAL SECURITY SYSTEM
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false ringing,
unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
When you place the handset in the base, the unit verifies its security code. After a power
outage or battery replacement, you should place the handset in the base for about 20 seconds
to reset the code.
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 oven, 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. If you are
concerned with interference, please refer to the User’s Guide for these devices on how
to properly set channels to avoid interference. 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.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION
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 uninsulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Temporarily disconnect any equipment connected to the phone such as faxes, other
phones, or modems.
INSTALLING THE PHONE
Your cordless telephone system should be placed on a level surface such as a desk or table
top, or you can mount it on a wall.
INSTALLING THE HANDSET BATTERY
NOTE: You must connect the handset battery before use.
1. Locate battery and battery door which are packaged together inside a plastic bag and are
separate from the handset.
