Rewiring of telephone line for cable/VoIP service users  
If you have changed to cable/VoIP service through a modem/router/terminal  
adapter to establish telephone connection, the existing telephone jacks in your  
home may no longer work. Your cable/VoIP service provider uses a separate cable  
connecting from the main line to the modem installed in your home.  
To allow all existing telephone jacks to work, rewiring of the telephone line (as  
indicated by the dotted line in the illustration below) may be needed. Rewiring  
requires professional installation (fees may apply). Contact your cable/VoIP  
service provider for more information.

Troubleshooting  
If you have difficulty with your telephone, please try the suggestions below. For  
My telephone does not work at all.  
Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly. For optimum daily performance,  
return the handset to the telephone base or charger after use.  
Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not controlled by a wall switch.  
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the telephone base and the wall jack.  
Unplug the electrical power to the telephone base. Wait for approximately ꢀ5 seconds,  
then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and telephone base to  
synchronize.  
Charge the battery in the handset for up to ꢀ0 hours.  
If the battery is completely depleted, it may take up to 30 minutes to charge the handset  
before LOW BATTERY appears on the screen.  
Remove and install the battery again. If that still does not work, it may be necessary to  
purchase a new battery.  
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a working telephone.  
If the other telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or telephone  
service. Contact your telephone service provider.  
The display shows NO LINE. I cannot get a dial tone.  
Try all the above suggestions.  
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the telephone base and the wall jack.  
Disconnect the telephone line cord from your telephone and connect it to another telephone.  
If there is no dial tone on that other telephone either, then the telephone line cord may be  
defective. Try installing a new telephone line cord.  
If changing the telephone line cord does not help, the wall jack (or the wiring to this wall jack)  
may be defective. Contact your telephone service provider.  
I cannot dial out.  
Try all the above suggestions.  
Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the handset takes a second or  
two to synchronize with the telephone base before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra  
second before dialing.  
If other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring  
or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).  
Eliminate any background noise. Mute the cordless handset before dialing, or dial from  
another room in your home with less background noise.  
The answering system does not answer after correct number of rings.  
Make sure the answering system is on. When the answering system is on, ANS ON should  
show on the handset and the /ANSWER ON/OFF light is lit on the telephone base.  
If toll saver is selected, the number of rings changes to two when there are new messages.  
If the memory is full or the answering system is off, the answering system answers after ꢀ0  
rings. In some cases, the answering system is affected by the ringing system used by the  
telephone service provider.  
If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the number of rings so that your answering  
system answers before your voicemail answers. To get help with your voicemail settings,

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers  
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones):  
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary  
evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers.  
Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:  
Pacemaker patients  
Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.  
Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket,  
when it is turned ON.  
Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker. WTR’s evaluation did not identify  
any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless telephones.  
About cordless telephones  
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some  
limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the cordless  
handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the cordless telephone conversations  
could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this  
reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those  
on corded telephones.  
Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a  
working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls  
cannot be made from the cordless handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off or if  
the electrical power is interrupted.  
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause  
interference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place  
the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is  
experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR often reduces or  
eliminates the interference.  
Rechargeable batteries: Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short  
circuit with conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor  
may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery  
charger.  
 
ꢀꢀ  
Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do  
not burn or puncture the battery. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could  
release caustic material which could cause injury.  
Operating range  
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission  
(FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance - which can vary  
with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or office.  
When the handset is out of range, the handset displays OUT OF RANGE OR NO PWR AT BASE.  
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it may not ring, or if it does ring, the call may not connect well  
when you press  
. Move closer to the telephone base, then press  
to answer the call.  
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there may be interference. To improve  
reception, move closer to the telephone base.  
Maintenance  
Taking care of your telephone  
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.  
Avoid rough treatment  
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need  
to ship it.  
Avoid water  
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, or handle it with  
wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.  
Electrical storms  
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety,  
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in  
water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE  
POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL. Then remove the telephone by the  
unplugged cords.  
take caution when using electrical appliances during storms.  
Cleaning your telephone  
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft  
cloth slightly dampened with water or mild soap. Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.

tomber et être sérieusement endommagé.  
6. Le boîtier de l’appareil est doté de fentes et d’ouvertures d’aération situées à l’arrière ou en  
dessous. Afin d’empêcher la surchauffe, ces ouvertures ne doivent pas être obstruées en plaçant  
l’appareil sur un lit, divan, tapis ou autre surface similaires. Ne placez pas cet appareil à proximité  
d’un élément de chauffage ni d’une plinthe électrique. De plus, ne l’installez pas dans une unité  
murale ou un cabinet fermé qui ne possède pas d’aération adéquate.  
7. Ne faites fonctionner cet appareil qu’avec le type d’alimentation indiqué sur les étiquettes de  
l’appareil. Si vous ne connaissez pas le voltage de votre maison, consultez votre marchand ou  
votre fournisseur d’électricité.  
8. Ne déposez rien sur le cordon d’alimentation. Installez cet appareil dans un endroit sécuritaire,  
là où personne ne pourra trébucher sur la ligne d’alimentation ni le cordon téléphonique  
modulaire.  
9. N’insérez jamais d’objets à travers les fentes et ouvertures de cet appareil, car ils pourraient  
toucher à des points de tension dangereux ou court-circuiter des pièces, ce qui constituerait un  
risque d’incendie ou d’électrocution. N’échappez pas de liquides dans l’appareil.  
ꢀ0. Afin de réduire les risques d’électrocution, ne démontez pas l’appareil, mais apportez-le plutôt  
à un centre de service qualifié s’il doit être réparé. En enlevant le couvercle, vous vous exposez  
à des tensions dangereuses ou autres dangers similaires. Un remontage inadéquat peut être à  
l’origine d’une électrocution lors d’une utilisation ultérieure de l’appareil. Débranchez l’appareil  
avant de procéder au nettoyage. Utilisez un chiffon humide et doux.  
ꢀꢀ. Ne surchargez pas les prises de courant et les rallonges.  
ꢀ2. Débranchez cet appareil de la prise de courant et communiquez avec le département de

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS  
Pile  
MISE EN GARDE : N’utilisez que la pile incluse.  
Ne jetez pas la pile au feu. Vérifiez les instructions spécifiques de mise aux rebus auprès des  
autorités locales.  
N’ouvrez pas et ne mutilez pas la pile. L’électrolyte qui s’en échapperait est corrosif et pourrait  
causer des brûlures ou des blessures aux yeux ou à la peau. L’électrolyte est toxique si avalé.  
Soyez prudents lorsque vous manipulez les piles afin d’éviter les courts-circuits provoqués par  
des matériaux conducteurs. .  
Rechargez la pile incluse ou identifiée pour fonctionner avec cet appareil, selon les instructions

Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme  
Les simulateurs cardiaques (s’applique uniquement aux téléphones numériques sans fil) :  
L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)’, une firme de recherche indépendante, a  
mené une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre les téléphones sans fil portatifs et les  
stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme. Appuyée par l’Administration des aliments et  
drogues (FDA) des États-Unis, la firme WTR recommande aux médecins :  
Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques  
Ils doivent tenir le téléphone sans fil à une distance d’au moins six pouces du stimulateur  
cardiaque.  
Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil directement sur le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que  
dans une poche de chemise, lorsque celui-ci est en marche.  
Ils doivent utiliser le téléphone sans fil en l’appuyant sur l’oreille qui se trouve dans la direction  
opposée au stimulateur cardiaque.  
L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas identifié de risque pour les détenteurs de  
simulateurs cardiaques causés par les gens qui utilisent un téléphone sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.  
À propos des téléphones sans fil  
Confidentialité : Les mêmes caractéristiques qui constituent des avantages pour les téléphones  
sans fil affichent également des restrictions. Les appels téléphoniques sont transmis entre  
le combiné sans fil et le socle par le biais d’ondes radio ; il y a donc la possibilité que vos  
conversations téléphoniques sans fil soient interceptées par des équipements de réception radio  
se trouvant dans la portée du combiné sans fil. Pour cette raison, vous ne devez pas percevoir  
les communications téléphoniques sans fil comme étant aussi confidentielles que celles des  
téléphones à cordons.  
Alimentation électrique : Le socle de ce téléphone sans fil doit être branché à une prise  
électrique fonctionnelle. La prise électrique ne doit pas être contrôlée par un interrupteur mural.  
Les appels ne pourront pas être effectués du combiné sans fil si le socle est débranché ou mis  
hors tension ou si le courant est coupé.  
Possibilité d’interférences aux téléviseurs : Certains téléphones sans fil fonctionnent sur  
des fréquences pouvant causer des interférences aux téléviseurs et aux magnétoscopes. Pour  
réduire ou prévenir de telles interférences, ne placez pas le socle du téléphone sans fil près ou  
sur un téléviseur ou magnétoscope. S’il y a présence de parasites, il est conseillé d’éloigner  
le téléphone sans fil du téléviseur ou du magnétoscope afin de réduire possiblement les  
interférences.  
Piles rechargeables : Manipulez les piles avec soin afin de ne pas les court-circuiter avec des  
bagues, bracelets ou clés. Les piles ou le conducteur peut surchauffer et causer des blessures.  
Respectez la polarité adéquate entre la pile et le chargeur.  
Les bloc-piles rechargeables à l’hydrure métallique de nickel : Jetez ces blocs-piles de  
manière écologique et sécuritaire. Ne les incinérez pas et ne les percez pas. Tel que les autres  
piles de ce type, elles pourraient dégager une matière toxique qui peut causer des blessures  
corporelles si elles sont brûlées ou percées.
