Important Information

This phone has been tested and found to

comply with all applicable UL and FCC

standards.

Important

Cordless phones such as this one require

AC power to operate. When the AC power is

off, you cannot dial out or receive incoming

calls using your phone. To be safe, you

should also have a phone that does not need

AC power to operate (not a cordless phone)

so you can still make and receive calls if

there is an AC power failure.

When AC power is lost, the phone loses the

security access-protection code connection

between the base and the handset. When

power is restored, put the handset on the

base briefly to restore this connection.

READ THIS BEFORE

INSTALLATION

We have designed your phone to conform to

federal regulations and you can connect it to

most phone lines. However, each device that

you connect to the telephone line draws

power from the line. We refer to this power

draw as the phone’s ringer equivalence

number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom

of your phone.

If you use more than one phone or other

device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the

total is more than five (three in rural areas),

your phones might not ring. If ringer

operation is impaired, remove one of the

devices from the line.
