heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation unless
proper ventilation is provided.
7. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on
the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home,
consult your dealer or local power company.
8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where
the cord will be damaged by persons walking on it.
9. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in the risk of
fire or electrical shock.
10. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots, as they
may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
11. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product. Take it to
qualified service personnel when service or repair work is required. Opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect
reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.
12. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
A.When the power supply cord is damaged or frayed.
B.If liquid has been spilled into the product.
C.If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

MPH6935_OM Eng 3/12/02 3:06 PM Page 5
E. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
13. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Additional battery safety precautions
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons by the battery, read and follow
these instructions:
1. Use only the appropriate type and size battery pack specified in the reference guide.
2. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire. The cell may explode.
3. Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released electrolyte is corrosive and
may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling the battery in order not to short the battery with
conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor
may overheat and cause burns.
5. Charge the battery pack provided with or identified for use with this product only
in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in the reference guide
provided for this product.
6. Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery pack and battery charger.
Cordless telephone privacy
Note: Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the handset
and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio
waves which are broadcast over the open airways. Because of the inherent
physical properties of radio waves, your communications can be received by
radio receiving devices other than your own cordless telephone unit.
Consequently, any communications using your cordless telephone may not
be private.

MPH6935_OM Eng 3/12/02 3:06 PM Page 6
Important electrical considerations
Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is approaching.
Lightning can pass through your household wiring and damage any device connected
to it. This phone is no exception.
Warning: Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an electrical storm.
The FCC Wants You To Know
Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by the manufacturer,
or operation of this product in any way other than as detailed by the reference guide,
could void your authority to operate this product. The equipment cannot be used on
public coin phone service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party
line service is subject to state tariffs. (Contact the state public utility commission,
public service commission or corporation commission for information.)
Range
Your new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible range by transmitting
and receiving according to the highest specifications set forth by the FCC. We have
rated this phone to operate at a maximum distance with the qualification that the
range depends upon the environment in which the telephone is used. Many factors
limit range, and it would be impossible to include all the variables in our rating.
The Maximum Range rating of this phone is meant to be used as a means of
comparison against other range claims.
Telephone Line Problems
The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnect service in the
event that your phone causes problems on the telephone line. Also, the telephone
company may make changes in facilities and services which may affect the operation
of your unit. However, your telephone company must give adequate notice in writing
prior to such actions to allow you time for making necessary arrangements to
continue uninterrupted service.
If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first disconnect your
phone to determine if it is the cause of your problem. If you determine that it is the
cause, you must leave it disconnected until the trouble has been corrected.
6
MPH6935_OM Eng 3/12/02 3:06 PM Page 7
Radio Interference
Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless
handset, or clicking noises in the base. This interference is caused by an external
source such as a TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, fluorescent lighting, or electrical
storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and are too distracting,
please check around your home to see what appliances may be causing the problem.
In addition, we recommend that the base not be plugged into a circuit that also
powers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. Be certain the
antenna is kept in the vertical position.
In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting
transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio signals from another
cordless telephone or other source of interference. If you cannot eliminate this type of
interference, you need to change to a different channel.
Finally, it should be noted that 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 interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther
away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
More Than One Cordless Telephone
If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home, they must
operate on different channels. Press the channel key to select a channel that provides
the clearest communication.

About the digital security code
This cordless telephone uses a digital security code to prevent unauthorized
access to your base unit. This security code prevents other cordless handsets
from making calls through your base unit.
A random security code will be assigned automatically between your base unit
and handset when you charge the battery pack for the first time.
To reset the security code, see page 32.

Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base
unit for charging.
Note
Even when the battery pack is not being used, it will gradually discharge over a

and phone number on the display before you answer the phone.
The handset displays the phone number of the incoming call, the name, time, and the
number of calls. Additionally, you can dial the displayed number and store the
information for memory dialing.

ID on Call Waiting), and Area Code.
Instant Talk allows you to answer the phone without pressing the TALK/ FLASH

If you enter a 3-digit area code number in the Area Codeoption, your local area
code does not appear in Caller ID messages. When reviewing Caller ID messages,
you will see only the local seven digit number. For calls received from outside your
local area code, you will see a full 10-digit number.
Note
