ADDITIONAL SAFETY NOTES FOR CANADIAN USERS
NOTICE: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified
lequipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecom
munications network protective, operational and safety requirements. The
Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user ’ s satisfac-
tion.
Before installing the equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be
connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment
must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer
should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degra-
dation of service in some situations. Repairs to certified equipment should be made
by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any
repairs or alteration made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions,
may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect
the equipment. Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground
connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe
system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly im-
portant in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but
should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as soon as
possible.
NOTICE: The LOAD NUMBER (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the
percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the
device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combi-
nation of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the load numbers of
all devices does not exceed 100.

Security
Security
Your cordless telephone uses a digital coding security system to prevent
unauthorized use of your telephone line by another nearby cordless telephone. The
system has its own identifying signal created by microcomputers in both the base unit
and handset.
Security Code
This telephone has an internal security code with 65,536 possible combinations.
Multi-Channel Access
Your cordless telephone lets you select a channel from the 40 frequencies available
to transmit signals between the base unit and handset. When you notice interference
from other cordless telephones, change to another channel by pressing the
CHN (CHANNEL) button on the handset.

Recharging the Battery Pack
Battery Type
Use the following type and size of battery pack:
Cordless Telephone Battery Pack
3.6V, 600mAh
Ni-Cd Battery Pack
Recharging the Battery Pack
The nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery pack in the handset can be recharged many
times using the built-in charger in the base unit.
When the BATTERY LOW indicator starts to blink, a “ beep” sound will be heard
every12 seconds. This indicates that the battery pack needs to be recharged.
Charge the battery pack at least once every 90 days of nonuse to avoid battery
failure. When the battery pack can no longer be charged, replacement of the battery
pack will be necessary.
The battery pack used in your telephone may develop a condition known as
“ MEMORY” . Once subjected to a regular short discharging routine, the battery
assumes the discharging pattern it was subjected to. This is known as a “ MEMORY”
condition which causes rapid discharging thereby shortening the battery pack charge
span. If you believe your battery pack has developed a memory condition, do not
charge the handset until the BATTERY LOW LED indicator comes on. When it does
come on, charge the handset fully for 12 hours.

3. ANTENNA on BASE UNIT is raised.
Interference on reception, check the following:
1. Noise may be picked up from electrical products in the home or electrical storms.
Generally, this noise is a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a
defect in your system. (See Technical Information on page 21).
2. Choose an alternate channel using the CHN (CHANNEL) button on the handset.
Excess static, check the following:
1. Check to see that the antenna is not touching another metal object.
2. Raise or reposition the Base unit antenna.
If after pressing the TALK button, you receive three beeps and no
dial tone, check the following:

Technical Information
Technical Information
This cordless telephone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certain
difficulties in using radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. While these are
normal, the following could affect the operation of your system.
Noise
Electrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise is
most intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment such as
light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, and fans also generate noise pulses.
Because radio frequencies are susceptible to these noise pulses, you may
occasionally hear them in your handset. Generally they are minor annoyance and
should not be interpreted as a defect in your system.
Range
Because radio frequency is used, the location of the base unit can affect the
operating range. Try several locations in your home or office and pick the one that
gives you the clearest signal to the handset.
Interference
Electronic circuits activate a relay to connect the cordless telephone to your
telephone line. These electronic circuits operate in the radio frequency spectrum.
While several protection circuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be
periods when these unwanted signals enter the base unit. You may hear clicks or
hear the relay activate while you are not using the handset. If the interference occurs
frequently, it can be minimized or eliminated by lowering the height of your base
antenna or by relocating the base unit. You can check for interference before
selecting the final base unit location by plugging in the phone.
NOTICE:
This cordless telephone uses radio communication between the handset and the
base unit and may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices, including
other cordless telephone, may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephone
or cause noise during operation. Units not containing coded access may be
accessed by other radio communication systems. Cordless telephones must not
cause interference to any licensed radio service.

FCC Requirements
Federal Communications Commission Requirements
This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. A label on the BASE UNIT of this
equipment contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and the
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request,
provide this information to your telephone company.
The REN is also useful in determining the quantity of devices that you may connect to
your telephone line and still allow these devices to ring when your telephone number
is called. In most areas, but not all, the sum of the REN’ s for all devices connected to
one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you
may connect to your line, you should contact your local telephone company.
If your equipment should cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company may temporarily disconnect your service. If possible, they will notify you in
advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. However, when
advance written notice is not possible, the telephone company may temporarily
discontinue service without notice if such action is necessary under the
circumstances. The telephone company may make changes in its communication
facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures where such action is reasonably
required in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and
regulations of the Federal Communications Commission. Do not attempt to repair
or modify this equipment.
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for its compliance could void the user’ s authority to operate the
equipment.
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to
nearby TV’ s and VCR’ s. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the
cordless telephone should not be placed on or near a TV or VCR. If interference is
experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will
often reduce or eliminate the interference.
This equipment should not be used on coin telephone lines. Connection to party line
service is subject to state tariffs. If trouble is experienced, disconnect this equipment
from the telephone line to determine if it is causing the malfunction. If the equipment is
determined to be malfunctioning, its use should be disconnected until the problem has
been corrected.
