items of apparatus that may be
connected simultaneously to the line by
summing the REN values of each item. A
BT supplied instrument has a REN value
of 1 unless otherwise marked.
A maximum REN value of 4 should not
be exceeded. The REN value of this
apparatus is 1.
Method of connection
The method of connection is to either a
direct exchange line or a Private

This cordless telephone has been
designed to operate on radio frequencies
which have been assigned to the
exclusive use of cordless telephones. As
the use of cordless telephones becomes
more widespread users may experience a
reduction in the quality of service
obtainable from this apparatus.
999 or 112 can be dialled on the
apparatus for the purposes of making
outgoing calls to the Emergency Service.
WARNING:
The apparatus may be unable to make
emergency 999 or 112 telephone calls,
under certain conditions, e.g.
• Radio interference caused by another
cordless telephone operating on the
same radio frequency.
• The portable handset battery needs
recharging, or has failed.
• During a mains power failure.
Page 3
NOTE:
If you experience any problems with the
normal use of your apparatus, you should
unplug it from the telephone outlet and
connect a known working telephone in its
place. If the known working telephone still
gives problems, then please contact the
customer service department of your
PSTN operator. If it operates properly,
then the problem is likely to be a fault in
your apparatus. In this case, contact your
supplier for advice. Your PSTN operator
may charge you if they attend a service
call that is not due to apparatus supplied
by them.
Any cases of difficulty should be referred
in the first instance to the supplier of the
apparatus.

you can use a handset in different radio areas, such as at home or the office. However, calls in
progress are cancelled when the unit moves to another radio area.

Chapter 5
Batteries, due to their construction, undergo some wear and tear. The lifetime of a battery also
depends on correct maintenance. Charging and discharging are the most important factors. You
should take notice of the following to maintain the life of the battery as long as possible.
Ni-Cd (Ni-MH) batteries may experience a memory effect. If fully charged batteries are used
several times only for 15 minutes in the handset and then recharged, the capacity of the batteries
will be reduced to 15 minutes due to the memory effect. Therefore you should discharge the
batteries completely, i.e. use them in the handset until “
” on the display starts flashing.
Then recharge them as described in the manual. After the memory effect has occurred, it is
possible to achieve almost complete capacity of the Ni-Cd (Ni-MH) batteries by charging and
discharging several times one after another.
Ni-Cd (Ni-MH) batteries can also self-discharge. This self-discharge depends on the ambient
temperature. At temperatures under 0°C, the self-discharge will be the lowest. High humidity and
high temperatures support the self-discharge. Also long-term storage will lead to self-discharge. A
dead Ni-Cd (Ni-MH) battery should not be disposed of normally. They contain toxic heavy
cadmium (metal hydride) and therefore should be recycled.

Dear purchaser,
You have acquired a KX-TCD953EB, which is a product made in regard with
the European Standards for Cordless Telephones (DECT). DECT technology
is characterised by high-security protection against interceptions as well as
high-quality digital transmission.
This telephone was designed for a wide range of applications.
For example, this telephone can be used within a network of base units and
handsets, constituting a telephone system which:
• operates up to 6 handsets at one base unit
• allows an intercom between 2 handsets
• allows the operation of a handset at up to 4 base units, expanding the
communication radio area.
This telephone may be used for:
• operating several handsets
• operating at several base units
• connecting the base unit to a PBX.
Term Definitions
DECT
The abbreviation DECT means “Digital Enhanced Cordless
Telecommunications”.
Advantages of DECT
Excellent voice quality: Through sampling of digital signals DECT units
obtain nearly noiseless transmission.
High grade taping security: Based on digital transmission, DECT
conversations are well protected against unapproved monitoring.
Multi-Handset operation: To operate several handsets at the base unit, no
cable installation is required.
Interlink: Intercom conversation can be held free of charge between the
registered handsets.
Functions like a PBX: More than one operation can be performed at the
same time, like a PBX. eg., during an external call, an internal call or outside
call can be transferred to another handset.
Multi-Base station operation: More than one handset can be registered to
several base units, e.g., for private and office applications.
