INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most sophisticated cordless telephones on the market!

The Sprint cordless phone has been designed to offer a new standard in cordless telephone technology.

Unlike most other cordless phones, the Sprint cordless phone digitizes your voice using advanced digital voice coding to provide noise and distortion free performance. In most conditions you will not be able to tell you are using a cordless phone. Gone are the annoyances of static, interference and having to listen to other people’s conversations on your cordless phone.

The Sprint cordless phone scrambles your voice before it transmits it. This allows you the security of knowing that no one can tune in and eavesdrop on your conversations.

The Sprint cordless phone decodes and displays name and number Caller

ID (CID) information where available and when subscribed to. The alphanumeric display will show both the name and number of the calling party

(when available). Up to 15 name characters and/or 11 phone number digits can be displayed on the LCD.

With the Sprint cordless phone, the user can easily answer a call by pressing any key other than the OFF,

VOLUME keys or 3 PPU keys. In addition, the handset keypad and LCD illuminate while the handset rings to signal an incoming call. This is very useful in a dark environment.

The Sprint cordless phone includes a Speakerphone and keypad on the

1

Base Unit. This enables you to make and receive calls hands-free at the

Base. In addtion, the Intercom feature allows two-way communication between the Handset and Base Unit.

Pressing INTER.COM on the Base can also assist you in locating a misplaced

Handset.

The Sprint cordless phone uses special memory in both the Base Unit and Handset which is not susceptible to power failures. This provides permanent storage of all speed dial numbers, CID information as well as the

Base Unit and Handset security codes.

When the spare battery is installed in the Base Unit, the Sprint cordless

phone uses this battery to provide operational backup in case of power failure. In this way, you have access to all normal phone functions during a total power outage. Calls can still be placed and received without interruption. More than 4 hours backup will be possible with a fully charged battery in the Base Unit.

The phone will also alert you when you are Out of Range even when you're not using the phone!

FCC Part 68

The FCC requires that you connect your cordless telephone to the nationwide telephone network through a modular telephone jack (USOC

RJ11C, RJ11W or RJ14).

Your telephone company may discontinue your service if your equipment causes harm to the telephone network. They will notify you in advance of disconnection, if possible.

During notification, you will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the

FCC.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK

The Handset of your Sprint

cordless phone cordless telephone is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. It charges automatically whenever the Handset is in the Base Unit.

You should charge the battery pack for

16 hours when you first receive your phone. You’ll know the battery pack needs charging when:

• The low battery message is displayed:

• The Handset seems completely dead, the LCD is completely clear and does not activate when you press the keys.

TO CHARGE THE BATTERY

PACK

To charge the battery pack, place the

Handset in the Base Unit. The

CHARGING indicator will light to show the Handset is seated properly and the battery pack is charging. It is recommended that the battery pack be charged for at least 16 hours initially.

Afterwards, 8 hours of maintenance charging should be sufficient. You can use your telephone before that with diminished capacity, but it is best to charge the battery pack fully. It will take several recharge cycles to maximize the charge capacity of your battery pack. The maximum battery life between charges is 7 hours of continuous talk time or 14 days of stand by.

Alternatively, if the

spare battery pack has been charging in the Base Unit, simply exchange the drained Handset battery pack with the fully charged replacement battery pack from the Base Unit charger. Place the drained Handset battery pack into the Base Unit charger so that it will charge.

The Base Unit spare battery charger does NOT charge a battery pack as quickly as the main Handset battery charger. A full charge requires 24 hours.

A WORD ABOUT RECHARGE-

ABLE BATTERIES

Your Ni-Cd battery pack recharges whenever the Handset is returned to the Base Unit.

IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO OVER-

CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK

The battery pack can be recharged many times but if you get a low-battery signal even after 8 hours of charging in the Base Unit cradle (or 24 hours in the

Base Unit spare battery charger), the battery pack(s) should be replaced.
