INTRODUCTION

Your GE cordless telephone is designed to give you flexibility in use and high quality performance. To get the most from your new cordless telephone, we suggest that you take a few minutes right now to read through this instruction manual.

CORDLESS PHONE INFORMATION

??? Digital Security System

When you place the Handset in the base, the unit verifies it???s security code which prevents false ringing from other cordless telephones. After a power outage or battery replacement, you should place the Handset in the base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.

??? IMPORTANT: This Should Not Be The Only Phone in Your Home

Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should have at least one phone in your home that is not cordless, in case the power in your home goes out.

CALLER ID INFORMATION

This device allows you to take advantage of the Caller Identification Delivery with Call Waiting service that may be available from your local telephone company. If you do not have this service already installed, you must contact your local telephone company to arrange to have this service installed on your line. There is an extra charge to your monthly telephone bill for this service.

GETTING STARTED

Make sure your package includes the items shown below.

INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs 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 or VCR. If interference continues, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

CHANGING THE BATTERY

Your cordless handset is powered by a nickel cadmium battery pack (#5-2419). The battery pack needs to be recharged periodically. A fully charged battery gives you approximately 4 hours of talk time or 7 days of stand-by time. Return the handset to the base whenever possible to keep the battery adequately charged.

The handset runs on a consumer-replaceable, nickel-cadmium battery pack. If you experience any of the following problems, you may need to replace the battery pack: short talk time, poor sound quality, limited range, CHARGE/IN USE light fails to light. Make sure phone is OFF before you replace battery.

???Avoid putting the phone near heating appliances and devices that generate electrical noise (for example, motors or fluorescent lamps).

???DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture.

???Avoid dropping the handset, as well as other rough treatment to the phone.

???Clean the phone with a soft cloth.

???Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because this will damage the finish.

???Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship the phone at a later date.

???Periodically clean the charge contacts on the handset and base with a soft cloth.

CAUSES OF POOR RECEPTION

???Aluminum siding.

???Foil backing on insulation.

TELEPHONE NETWORK INFORMATION

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone company, where practicable, may notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately.

The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company will likely give you adequate notice to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.

Notice must be given to the telephone company upon termination of your telephone from your line.

REN NUMBER

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the FCC Registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.

The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company.
