Introduction

CAUTION: When using telephone equipment, there are basic safety instructions that should always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this product and save them for future reference.

IMPORTANT: Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should have at least one phone in your home that isn't cordless, in case the power in your home goes out.

Before You Begin

Handset battery pack

Base

Battery compartment cover

Telephone Jack Requirements

To use this phone, you need an RJ11C type modular telephone jack, which might look like the one pictured here, installed in your home. If you don't have a modular jack, call your local phone company to find out how to get one installed.

Installation

Wall plate

Modular telephone line jack

Digital Security System

Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.

INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause or receive interference with nearby TVs, microwave ovens, and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV, microwave ovens, or VCR. If such interference continues, move the cordless telephone farther away from these appliances.

Certain other communications devices may also use the 1.9 GHz frequency for communication, and, if not properly set, these devices may interfere with each other and/or your new telephone. If you are concerned with interference, please refer to the owner's manual for these devices on how to properly set channels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may use the 1.9 GHz frequency for communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.

Important Installation Guidelines

• Avoid sources of noise and heat, such as motors, fluorescent lighting, microwave ovens, heating appliances and direct sunlight.
• Avoid areas of excessive dust, moisture and low temperature.
• Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Installing the Handset Battery

NOTE: You must connect the handset battery before use.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury, use only the Thomson Inc. approved model 5-2721 Nickel-metal Hydride battery (Ni-MH), which is compatible with this unit.

1. Locate battery and battery door which are packaged together inside a plastic bag and are separate from the handset.
2. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the handset.
3. Plug the battery pack cord into the jack inside the compartment.

NOTE: To ensure proper battery installation, the connector is keyed and can be inserted only one way.

1. Insert the battery pack.
2. Close the battery compartment by pushing the door up until it snaps into place.

Base Backup Battery Installation

CAUTION: Disconnect the phone cord from the wall outlet before installing or replacing the batteries.

In case of a power outage, the phone uses four AAA alkaline batteries for backup power for incoming voice amplification, answering machine and other functions.

1. Unplug the power adaptor and the telephone line before installing batteries.
2. Carefully turn over the phone, and release latch on battery compartment and remove cover.
