Inside Back Cover 1 Important Safety Instructions When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following: 1. Do not locate base unit near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the bottom or back are provided for ventilation, to protect it from overheating; these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product in the bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. [. . . ] No need to come back and turn it off, because it turns itself off automatically. 9 SYSTEM The revolutionary, patented Intenna hidden-antenna system is a Cobra exclusive. Intenna is the worlds first and only full-range-power cordless telephone that conceals the handset and base antennas inside the phone and out of the way. Cobras hidden antennas are perfectly matched to your phones microprocessor circuitry for optimum performance offering the ultimate in user-friendly convenience. LAST NUMBER REDIAL Each time you dial, the phone number youre calling is automatically saved in a special REDIAL memory. To call that number again at a busy signal, press FLASH (without hanging up) to get a new dial tone, then press and release the REDIAL button. If you wish to try the call in a few minutes, use TALK to access the dial tone, then press and release the REDIAL button. The number will automatically be redialed. MEMORY DIALING (STORAGE) Your Cobra Intenna cordless phone enables you to store up to ten frequently dialed phone numbers or emergency numbers. With the TALK indicator light off, press and release the MEMORY button ; enter the digits of the phone number you wish to store, up to 16 digits; press and release the MEMORY button again. Now assign your memory number a position by entering any keypad number from 0 to 9. NOTE: for automated banking or alternate long distance service, you may need to program a number which is longer than 16 digits. # = CONFIRMATION NUMBER (09) TONE MEMORY DIALING (RECALL) To call a number stored in memory, press TALK to get a dial tone; press MEMORY button. Press the keypad number you assigned to that number and your phone will automatically dial the number. numbers, follow steps above, pressing MEMORY button again before entering the second number. Use the memory sticker card provided to write down the names of each memory position. TALK DIAL + MEMORY + I. D. # 0-9 = MEMORY 10 OUT-OF-RANGE SIGNAL If three beeps are heard immediately after the TALK button is pressed, the handset is too far away from the base. POWER PROTECTORTM SYSTEM Although the handset is battery powered, the base obtains its power from the AC outlet. This could be of critical importance should an emergency occur during a power failure. Many homes are now exclusively cordless, leaving them without means to quickly contact emergency services in this situation. In the Intenna CP-2507, a 9 volt battery allows the base to continue working in the event of a power failure. The phone will be usable for up to 2 hours continuously (and up to 3 hours with occasional use)long enough in most cases for the power to be restored. Replacement of the Power Protector battery with a fresh high quality alkaline battery is recommended every six months and after a power outage over 30 minutes. Please refer to page 6 for instructions. PRIVATE CALL VOICE SCRAMBLING SYSTEM This feature is automatically activated whenever you use your phone. Built-in voice scrambling allows complete calling privacy by scrambling the signals between the handset and the base and between the base and the handset, making it unlikely that an outside source such as another cordless phone, scanner or baby monitor to pick up a conversation from your phone.
