8 inch 4 conductor line cord
Perform the following: -Advise the customer that we will send him a replacement 8 inch 4 conductor line cord. -Inform the customer that he or she will receive the new replacement cord in U.S. Mail. -Verify and update the customer's profile with all address and telephone information. -Place an internal referral request via CRSS to Research Advisor to place an order for the replacement line cord. Perform the following:

of line voltage available at the phone and the distance of miles between the two other parties. Customer may consider 3-way calling service (if available through local telco) as alternative. Customer is less likely to experience volume loss due to more direct routing of conference.

Caller Id after 2nd ring

Most Telco's send out the Caller ID information between the 1st and 2nd ring. Some Telco's send out this information later. If the machine answers the call before the information is received, the Caller ID information will be lost. Please set the number of rings to a number higher than 2. The customer may want to turn the machine off and then let a call come in to see when the information arrives. You need to set the answering system to answer the ring after the caller ID information arrives. Do not set it for the same ring. If you have voice mail service, set it to answer at 6 rings.

Operating Range 2.4

This cordless operates in the 2.4 Gigahertz frequency band. Radio signals in this band can penetrate small openings and reflect around obstructions more effciently than those of conventional cordless telephones. This alows the unit to operate in areas that are typically difficult for cordless phones. Your cordless telephone operates at the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, your handset and base can communicate only over a certain distance which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office.

Spread Spectrum Echo

This unit employs state-of-the-art frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology to achieve one of the longest ranges in the consumer cordless telephone industry. FHSS is a digital technology that is also found in much more expensive cellular telephones. Just as it is common to experience echo in some cellular telephone systems, some users will experience occasional echo while using this phone. The presence and/or level of echo will depend on the electrical characteristics of the connection between the phone and user's local central office. This is normal operation. The customer can lower the volume on the handset and this will decrease the echo.
Caller ID/Call Waiting Services
It may not be enough that the users subscribe to both services, they may also need to ask the local phone company to combine Caller ID with Call Waiting, so that their Caller ID product will be able to recognize names and numbers for a Call Waiting call, as well as, for regular calls. There may be an additional charge for this combined feature. Their phone company may use names for this combined feature that are not on this list, but listed below are some of the more generally used names for this combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service: Call Waiting ID, Caller ID/Call Waiting ID - Bell Atlantic Wait and See - Ameritech Call Waiting ID - PacBell, SW Bell Caller ID with Name on Call Waiting - SNET in.

Operating Range 900

This cordless operates in the 900 megahertz frequency band. Radio signals in this band can penetrate small openings and reflect around obstructions more effciently than those of conventional cordless telephones. This alows the unit to operate in areas that are typically difficult for cordless phones. Your cordless telephone operates at the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, your handset and base can communicate only over a certain distance which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office.

Cardiac Pacemakers

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS LOCATED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CIB Cardiac Pacemakers (applies only to 900 MHz Digital Cordless Telephones): Preliminary studies performed at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and elsewhere have shown that when digital wireless telephones using technology similar to 900 MHz Cordless Telephones are placed very close to implanted cardiac pacemakers, interference with the operation of the pacemaker can occur. These preliminary studies show that interference is not likely to occur when there is a reasonable distance between the telephone and the implanted pacemaker and stops when the phone is set in the "battery save mode" or moved so that it is more than 3 inches from the pacemaker. Based on these preliminary studies, the FDA has concluded that digital wireless telephones "do not seem to pose a significant problem for pacemaker wearers. Until more is known, the FDA suggests that people with pacemakers may want to take some simple precautions when using or carrying digital wireless telephones to ensure that there is ample distance between the digital cellular telephone and the pacemaker -- by not placing the phone next to the pacemaker implant (for example, in a shirt or coat pocket directly over the pacemaker implant) when the phone is turned on ready to receive a call and holding it to the ear opposite the side of the body where the pacemaker is implanted when using the phone. Consult your physician or medical device manufacturer to determine if additional precautions are necessary.

Volume Controls

Both the base unit and the handset have digital volume controls. The volume controls for the speakerphone are located on the front face of the base unit. Press the volume up side to increase the speaker volume and the volume down side to decrease the volume. Holding either side down will continuously change the volume setting. The volume controls for the handset are located on the side of the unit. Press the [^] (up) or [v] (down) keys to increase or decrease the volume.

This product is compatible with inductively coupled hearing aids.

Clean Charging Contacts

Each month clean handset and base charging contacts using a pencil eraser or a cloth to eliminate deposit accumulation. Charge light should come on when handset is cradled in base. Charge handset for 10 hours.
Calling in same Area Code
Many LTCO's are changing their dialing sequence to 0 +, or 1 +, 10-digit dialing (0 + 0r 1 + area code + seven-digit phone number) for all long distance calls that are made within the same area code. All 0 +, or 1 +, 7-digit dialing within the same area code will be eliminated. This also means that local credit card and operator assistance calls that traditionally have been 0 + 7 dialed calls will now require 0 + 10 dialing. You will continue 0 + or 1 + 10 digit dialing for long distance calls into other area codes as you do today.

Recradle unplug AC

Single Audio Path Mutes

Ringing from another line may briefly mute a conversation since this product is designed with a single audio path. This is a normal occurence.

Chirping Sounds

If chirping sounds are detected from the handset or base, check the following possible causes: Smoke detectors Other cordless telephones Alarm clocks To enable the unit to work with business systems: Install the unit at the control box, or Wire a jack around the system. NOTE: Unit will not have business system features if installed in this manner. Check with the local telephone company to inquire as to possible low line voltage. NOTE: The recommended voltage is 24 to 48 on hook. Due to reduced line voltage, avoid having additional extension telephones "off the hook" during a call.

Wet Handset

A handset dropped in water may still operate if left out to dry. 1.Empty any residual water. 2.Leave handset face down on a towel to dry for 72 hours. 3.If handset does not operate after 72 hours, send it in for repair.
To determine if telephones ring separately or together: 1.Remove telephones from line. 2.Replace one at a time. Line 1 has a higher pitched ring that helps differentiate it from the ring of Line 2. Have someone call on each line. Let the telephone ring approximately five times and listen to the difference. Try using 2 two conductor cords or purchase a 267C adapter. Try a Triplex adapter and use a two cord connection.

6. Programming/testing of emergency numbers
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose to store police, fire department and emergency medical service telephone numbers in these locations. If you do, please keep three things in mind: a. We recommend that you also write the telephone number on the directory card, so that you can still dial the emergency number manually if the memory dialing feature doesnt work. b. This feature is provided only as a convenience, and the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for customer reliance upon the memory feature. c. Testing the emergency telephone numbers you have stored is not recommended. However, if you do make a call to an emergency number: You must remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call before hanging up. Programming/testing of emergency numbers should be performed during off-peak hours, such as in the early morning or late evening, when the emergency services tend to be less busy.
