				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   
					Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment.   
					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.   
					REN Number is located on the cabinet bottom.

				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   
					Parts Checklist (for 28213xx1 model)

				Telephone Jack Requirements   
					Wall plate   
					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.   
					Modular   
					telephone line   
					jack   
					Installation   
					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 1.9GHz   
					DECT 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 1.9GHz   
					DECT frequency for communication include wireless audio/video   
					senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless   
					telephone systems, and some long-range cordless telephone   
					systems.   
					8 
				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 Phone   
					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 Nickel-metal Hydride battery   
					(Ni-MH) battery model 5-2840, that 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.   
					ꢀ. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the handset.   
					ꢁ. 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.   
					4. Insert the battery pack.   
					5. Close the battery compartment by pushing the door up until it snaps into place.   
					1ꢀ   
				Base Station   
					1. Choose an area near an electrical outlet and a telephone wall jack (RJ11C), and   
					place your cordless telephone on a level surface, such as a desktop or tabletop, or   
					you may mount it on the wall.   
					ꢀ. Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack on the back of the   
					base and the other end into a modular jack.   
					ꢁ. Plug the AC power converter into the electrical outlet and the DC connector into   
					the jack on the back of the base.   
					4. Place the handset in the base cradle. The charge/in use indicator turns on,   
					verifying the battery is charging.   
					5. Allow the phone to charge for 16 hours prior to first use. If you don’t properly   
					charge the phone, battery performance is compromised.   
					CAUTION: To reduce risk of personal injury, fire, or damage   
					use only the 5-2812 power adaptor listed in the user’s guide.   
					This power adaptor is intended to be correctly orientated in a   
					vertical or floor mount position.
