FCC REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Your telephone equipment is registered with the Federal Communications Commission and is in compliance with
parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
1Notification to the Local Telephone Company
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.
Notes
• This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.
• Party lines are subject to state 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.
• Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of your telephone from
your line.
2Rights of the Telephone Company
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone
company shall, where practicable, 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. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone
company must: (1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to
correct the situation; and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to
procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations of
procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules
and Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment,
the telephone company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
INTERFERENCE INFORMATION
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference; and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or television that is “receiving” the
interference).
• Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the telecommunications equipment and receiving
antenna.
• Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiving antenna is connected.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/
television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has
prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is
available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify stock number
004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

INTRODUCTION
Your 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.
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.
CAUTION FOR AC POWER SUPPLIES WITH POLARIZING BLADES: TO
PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO
WIDE SLOT AND FULLY INSERT.

PARTS CHECKLIST
Make sure your package includes the items shown here.
MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS
You need an RJ11 type modular jack, which is the most com-
mon 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.
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 such interference continues, move the
cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR.
DIGITAL SECURITY SYSTEM
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to provide protection
against false ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
When you place the handset in the base, the unit verifies its security code.
After a power outage or battery replacement, you should place the
handset in the base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY
In the event of a power outage, a
9-volt battery (not included) enables
the phone to retain numbers stored in
memory and the clock to keep accu-
rate time. To install the battery:
1. Remove the battery compartment
door on the bottom of the unit by
removing the screw with a Phillips
screwdriver. Slide the door to the
right and lift it up.
2. Connect a fresh 9-volt alkaline
battery (not included). The large
and small contacts on the battery
clip and the battery will interlock.
Once connected, place the battery
inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment
door, then replace and tighten the
screw.
IMPORTANT: If a battery is not
installed during a power outage, the
phone will lose all the radio station
presets and alarm times.

DESKTOP INSTALLATION
1. Set the RINGER switch on the handset to ON.
2. Place the handset in the base.
3. Raise the base antenna.

The CHARGE/IN USE light comes on indicating that the battery is

Allow the phone to charge for 12 hours before using the first
time. If you don't charge the phone properly (for 12 hours)
when you first set up the phone, perfomance of the battery will
be compromised.
6. After charging, connect the telephone cord to the phone and then to the
wall jack.
CAUTION: Use only the Thomson 5-2476 (black)/ 5-2475 (white) power supply
that came with this unit. Using other power supplies may damage the unit.
