phone technology.  It features: 

        Advanced Super CCT Circuitry - Provides clarity comparable to 
                                       corded phones, reduces background 
                                       noise, and increases the operating 
                                       distance. 

                 10 Channel Selector - lets you easily select the channel 
                                       with the best range and least 
                                       interference. 

    Automatic Access-Protection Code - changes each time you return the 
                                       handset to the cradle to help 
                                       prevent other cordless phone users 
                                       from using your phone line. 

                             COM-LOK - guarantees that other cordless 
                                       phone users cannot use your phone 
                                       line when the handset is on the 
                                       cradle. 

The phone also has the following features:

                       Paging System - lets you send a signal from the 
                                       base to the handset so you can page 
                                       someone or easily locate the 
                                       handset when it is away from the 
                                       base. 

                Large Lighted Keypad - lights when you press a key or when 
                                       the phone rings to make it easy to 
                                       use the phone in a dark room. 

                    30-Number Memory - stores up to 30 important phone 
                                       numbers in memory.

                                       dialed with the touch of a button. 

                             Privacy - prevents the person on the other 
                                       end of the phone line from hearing 
                                       you as you talk to someone else in 
                                       the room.

                                       pager, and confirmation tones or 
                                       set them for a low or high volume. 

                               Flash - sends an electronic switchhook 
                                       signal for use with special phone

                                       can leave the handset away from the 
                                       cradle when the phone is not in 
                                       use.

This telephone has been tested and found to comply with all applicable UL 
standards. 

NOTE:  Your phone operates on standard radio frequencies, as allocated by
       the FCC.  It is possible for other radio units operating nearby on
       similar frequencies to unintentionally intercept your conversation
       or cause interference.  This possible lack of privacy can occur
       with any cordless phone.

READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

We have designed the telephone to conform to federal regulations, and you
can connect it to most telephone lines.  However, each device that you
connect to the phone line draws power from the phone line.  We refer to
this power draw as the device's ringer equivalence number, or REN.  The
REN is shown on the bottom of the phone.

If you are using more than one phone or other device on the line, add up
all the REN's.  If the total is more than five, your phones might not ring.
In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer operation.

FCC STATEMENT

This telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules.  You must, upon request,
provide the FCC Registration Number and the REN to your phone company. 
These numbers are located on the bottom of your phone.

NOTE:  You must not connect the phone to any of the following:

       Coin-Operated systems 

       Party-line systems 

       Most electronic key phone systems 

WARNING:  To prevent fire or shock hazard, and damage to your telephone, 
          do not expose it to rain or moisture. 

WARNING:  TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.  DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER 
          (OR BACK).  NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.  REFER SERVICING
