[. . . ] How To Use Your OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR Cordless Telephone Model CP-705 U. S. PATENT 4876709 Introduction Thank you for your purchase of a Cobra® INTENNA® Cordless Telephone -- the world's first and only full-range-power cordless telephone without any external antennas!No more extending, bending, or breaking the telescopic metal antennas found on traditional cordless phones -- your Cobra INTENNA conceals its antenna systems inside the handset and base, where they should be, out of your way. CORDLESS TELEPHONE MODEL CP-705 Now you can install your new Cobra INTENNA cordless phone virtually anywhere. Without cumbersome external antennas to worry about, put your new phone anywhere a corded phone can go! [. . . ] POWER FAILURE RESET After a power failure in your home (or any time you unplug your phone from AC power and then reconnect it), you must return the cordless handset to the base for about five seconds. This automatically resets the matching digital security codes and returns the channel selector to its start-up setting. PULSE/TONE SWITCH Your Cobra INTENNA cordless phone can be used with any phone system because it is switchable from pulse to tone dialing (see switch on rear of the base) depending on which service you are using. When using pulse dialing, mixed PULSE and TONE dialing may be used (to access certain long-distance or computerized banking services, for example) by selecting PULSE with the base switch and then using the button on the handset to temporarily switch to TONE dialing. Hanging up resets to PULSE. D RINGER SWITCH This ON/OFF switch (located at the rear of the base) controls your cordless handset's electronic ringer; no ring will sound in the OFF position. SECUR-LOC® This exclusive Cobra electronic circuitry is an added security measure to protect your phone line from being accidentally accessed by a neighbor's cordless phone. Secur-Loc activates automatically every time your cordless handset is placed into its base. (6) (7) Rechargeable Battery Information NOTE: Before using your new Cobra INTENNA cordless telephone for the first time, you must charge the batteries overnight (at least 12 hours) for optimum long-life conditioning of the nickel-cadmium rechargeable handset batteries. A Few Words About Cordless Phone Performance Your Cobra INTENNA cordless phone uses radio transmission to communicate between the base and handset. It is thus subject to occasional interference--static or buzzing noises, for example. These conditions may be caused by electrical motors on household appliances, fluorescent lights, electrical storms and other sources. These steps will enhance the maximum performance of your new phone: · · Change channels by pressing the CHAN button on the handset if you experience interference. 9) Put handset in base charging well and allow batteries to charge 12 hours. Avoid resting the handset on your shoulder during conversations; this may also block the performance of the internal antenna. Don't plug your phone's power cord into an active AC outlet that also provides power for a major appliance or for charging units for cordless appliances (vacuums, screwdrivers, etc. ) or other electronic devices. Performance of your phone may be improved by uncoiling the base telephone cord (because the INTENNA hidden-wire antenna system is inside the phone cord). · (8) (9) Troubleshooting Guide If your cordless phone does not seem to operate properly, please check the following and refer to the appropriate sections in this booklet for detailed information: · · The phone is dead; no indicator lights are on: Are the power cord and telephone cord connected?Handset beeps during conversations or when away from the base: The batteries need recharging; return the handset to the base for overnight recharging.
