IMPORTANT INFORMATION
NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means
that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and
safety requirements. The Industry Canada does not guarantee the equipment will operate to
the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this 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 degradation 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 alterations 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 systems, if present, are
connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should
contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
NOTES: This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.
Party lines are subject to telephone company tariffs and, therefore, you may not be able to
use your own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local
telephone company.
INTERFERENCE INFORMATION
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can
determine by turning the equipment off and on), try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures.
• Reorient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or television that is
“receiving” the interference.)
• Change the position of the computer with respect to the radio or television equipment
that is receiving interference.
• Move the Telephone Answering System away from the equipment that is receiving
interference.
• Plug the Telephone Answering System into a different wall outlet so that the Telephone
Answering System and the equipment receiving interference are on different branch circuits.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an
experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

Modular Jack Requirements
You need an RJ11(CA11A) type modular
jack, which is the most common type of
phone jack and might look like the one
pictured here. If you don’t have a modular
jack, call your local phone company to find
out how to get one installed.
INTRODUCTION
Your GE 900 MHz 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.
The following is important information regarding the use of your cordless
phone:
• 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: You Should Own a Non-Cordless Phone Too
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.
• Installation Note
