REN Number
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other
information, the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment.
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.
REN Number is located on the cabinet bottom.
Licensing

Telephone Operation
Redial
This unit redials up to 32 digits. To automatically redial the last number
you called:
1. Pick up the handset and wait for a dial tone.
2. Press the redial button.
Flash
Press the flash button instead of the hook switch to activate custom
calling services such as call waiting or call transfer. Custom calling
services are provided by the phone company.
Receiver Volume
You may control the listening level with the volume switch on the bottom
of the handset. It has 3 levels: lo, mid, and high.
Ringer Volume
You may control the ringer volume level with the switch located above the
touch tone pad on the handset.
= ringer tone will be loud
= ringer tone will be low
= telephone will not ring
Troubleshooting Tips
No dial tone.
• Press and release the hook switch. Check the hook switch: Does it fully
extend when the handset is lifted from the cradle?
Phone doesn’t ring.
• Make sure RINGER switch (located on the handset) is set to loud or low.
• Are you using too many phones on one line? (The total REN of all
phones on the same line should not be greater than the maximum
REN for your calling area. See Equipment Approval Information).
Other party cannot hear you.
• Make sure phone cord is securely plugged in.
• Make sure extension phones are on the hook at the same time you’re
using the phone. It is normal for the volume to drop when additional
extension phones are used at the same time.
Phone “howls” when handset is placed near the base and handset volume
level is too high.
• This is normal feedback due to handset volume level being set
to maximum.
General Product Care
To keep your telephone working and looking good, follow these guidelines:
• Avoid putting the phone near heating appliances and devices that
generate electrical noise (for example, motors or fluorescent lamps).
• DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture.
• Avoid dropping and other rough treatment to the phone.
• Clean with a soft cloth.
• Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because this
will damage the finish.
• Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship the phone at a
later date.
