following: 

1. 

Read and understand all instructions. 

2. 

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product. 

3. 

Unplug this product from the telephone jack before cleaning.  Do not use liquid or 
aerosol cleaners.  Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

wet basement, or near a swimming pool. 

5. 

Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table.  Serious damage may 
result if the product falls. 

6. 

Slots or openings in the cabinet and the back and bottom are provided for ventilation 
to protect the phone from overheating.  These openings must not be blocked or 
covered.  The product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat 
register. 

7. 

Never push any objects into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch 
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric 
shock.  Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. 

8. 

If this product does not operate normally, see the “In Case of Difficulty” section in 
this owner's manual.  If you cannot resolve the problem, or if the product is 
damaged, refer to the "Limited Warranty
" section of this owner's manual.  Opening 
the product or reassembling it incorrectly may expose you to dangerous voltages or 
other risks, and will void the warranty. 

9. 

Avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm.  There may be a remote risk of 
electric shock and/or hearing damage from lightning.   

10.  Do not use the telephone near a gas leak even to report the leak.  

 

In Case of Difficulty 

Resetting Your Telephone 

Electrostatic or power surge (e.g., from lightning) may cause the phone to lock up.  You 
can reset this phone by the following steps:  
 

 

Disconnect the telephone line cord from the phone. 

 Press 

the 

 button or the 

 button two times.  Wait for 10 seconds;

Maintenance Information 

Although your unit is designed to be maintenance free, it contains sensitive electronic 
parts.  Treat it with care to assure the best performance. 

 

Avoid Rough Treatment

: Avoid dropping the unit.  The original packaging should be 

used for protection if you must ship the unit.  Dropping or damaging the unit will void the 
warranty. 

 

Cleaning

:  The hard plastic casing on your unit has a durable finish that should retain its 

original luster for many years.  Clean exposed parts with a soft, slightly damp cloth.  To 
remove stains, use a mild soap.  Never use detergents, excess water, treated cloths, 
harsh cleaning agents, or sprays. 
 

Troubleshooting 

If your product does not work properly, try the following suggestions before seeking repair 
assistance: 

 

 

Check all line cord connections at the wall jack and at the telephone.

State Law Rights 

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary 
from state to state.

 

 

FCC Registration and Repair Information 

Your new product has been registered with the Federal Communication Commission 
(FCC).  This product complies with standards in Part 68 of the FCC Rules.  The FCC 
requires us to provide you with the following information: 

Connection and Use with the Nationwide Telephone Network 

The FCC requires that you connect your product to the nationwide telephone network 
through a modular telephone outlet or jack.  The modular telephone outlet or jack to which 
the telephone must be connected is a USOC RJ-11C or RJ-11W.  This equipment may 
not be used with Party Line Service or with Coin Telephone Lines.

 

Notification to the Telephone Company 

The FCC requires that upon request of your local telephone company, you provide the 
following information:  a) The “line” to which you will connect the telephone equipment 
(that is, your phone number), and b) The telephone equipment’s FCC registration number 
and ringer equivalence number (REN).  These numbers are on the back or bottom of your 
telephone equipment.  The REN is used to determine how many devices you may connect 

to your telephone line and still have them ring when your telephone line is called.  In most, 
but not all areas, the sum of all REN’s should be 5 or less.  You may want to contact your 
local telephone company. 

Repair Instructions 

If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the FCC requires that 
it not be used and that it be unplugged from the modular outlet until the problem has been 
corrected.  Repairs to the telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or 
its authorized agents or by others who may be authorized by the FCC.  For repair 
procedures, follow instruction outlined under the "

Limited Warranty

". 

 

Rights of the Telephone Company 

If your product is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may 
temporarily discontinue your telephone service.  If possible, they’ll notify you before they 
interrupt service.  If advance notice isn’t practical, you’ll be given the opportunity to correct 
the problem, and you will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC notified 
as soon as possible. 
 
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or 
procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your product.  If such changes are 
planned, you will be notified. 

 

Interference Information:  Part 15 of FCC Rules 

Some telephone equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, 
if not installed and used properly, may cause interference to radio and television reception. 
 
Your product has been tested and found to meet the standards for a Class B digital 
device, as specified in Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  These specifications are designed to 
provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.  
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. 
 
If your product causes interference to radio or television reception when it is in use, you 
might correct the interference with any one or all of these measures: (a) where it can be 
done safely, reorient the receiving television or radio antenna.  (b) To the extent possible, 
relocate the television, radio or other receiver with respect to the telephone equipment.  (c)
 

If your telephone product runs on AC power, plug your product into an AC outlet 

that is not on the same circuit as the one used by your radio or television.
