INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause  
interference to 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 oven, or VCR. If interference continues, moving the cordless telephone farther away  
from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference. Certain other  
communications devices may also use the 900 MHz 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 owners manual for these devices on how to  
properly set channels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may use the 900 MHz frequency  
for communication include wireless audio/ video senders, wireless computer networks, multi-  
handset cordless telephone systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.

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

(REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.  
CAUTION: Use only the ATLINKS USA, Inc. power supply 5-2618 (gray) or 5-2512 (black)  
that came with this unit. Using other power supplies may damage the unit.  
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.  
• Press the + or - arrow button to review messages or skip to the next message.  
• Press the Vol button to adjust the playback volume.  
DIGITAL SECURITY SYSTEM  
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false  
ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.  
2. Press the hour button to set the hour (a.m. or p.m.).  
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC  
Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is  
designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.  
REDIAL  
TIPS: You may also store the last number dialed in memory. Follow steps one through three above,  
press the redial button to call the last number dialed, and then press the memory button to confirm.  
CONNECTING THE TELEPHONE LINE  
1. Plug the one end of the telephone line cord into the jack on the bottom of the  
base and the other end into a modular wall phone jack.  
3. Press the min button to set the minute. When you press and hold the min  
button, the time advances in 5-minute intervals.  
When the phone is on (in use), press the redial button to redial the last number  
called (up to 32 digits).  
MEMORY FULL  
When memory is full, the system answers after 10 rings on an incoming call and  
announces, “Memory full.” You should erase some messages so the answerering  
system can record new messages.  
Notes  
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.  
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.  
INSERTING A PAUSE IN THE DIALING SEQUENCE  
4. Press and release the day/check button to review the day and time settings.  
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.  
Press the # pause button to insert a delay in the dialing sequence of a stored  
telephone number when a pause is needed to wait for a dial tone (for example,  
after you dial 9 for an outside line or when you need to wait for a computer  
access tone). Each pause counts as 1 digit.  
2. Set the ringer switch (on the handset) to ON, and place the handset in the cradle.  
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of your telephone from your line.  
RECEIVING A CALL  
To answer a call you must press the TALK button before you begin speaking.  
RECORDING THE OUTGOING ANNOUNCEMENT  
For best results when recording, you should be about nine inches from the  
microphone, and try to eliminate as much background noise as possible.  
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this product does not  
disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or  
a qualified installer.  
CAUTION:  
Allow the phone to charge for 12 hours prior to first use. If you don’t properly  
charge the phone, battery performance is compromised.  
NOTE: If the battery is not installed in the handset, or if the battery is not properly connected to the  
jack inside the battery compartment, the TALK button on the handset blinks when the handset is  
placed on the base cradle.
