GE 27934 User Manual

Plug the power supply cord into the power jack on the bottom of the base and the

on to indicate the battery is charging when the handset is on the cradle.
Allow the phone to charge for 16 hours prior to first use. If you don’t properly 

CAUTION: Use only the ATLINKS USA, Inc. power adaptor 5-2616 (black) 

or 5-2617 (gray) power adaptor that came with this unit. Using other power 

adaptors may damage the unit.

CAUTION: When using telephone equipment, there are basic safety 

instructions that should always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT 

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this product and save them for 

future reference.

Your cordless telephone system with Caller ID and Call Waiting is designed to give 

you flexibility in use and high quality performance. To get the most from your new 

cordless telephone system, we suggest that you take a few minutes right now to 

read through this instruction manual. This telephone is a multifunction product 

for use with the Call Waiting and Caller ID services available from your local 

telephone company. Your Caller ID Call Waiting phone allows you to:
•  View the name and telephone number of a caller (Call Waiting Caller ID).
•  Identify callers before you answer the phone.
•  View the time and date of each incoming call.
•  Record up to 40 Caller ID messages sequentially.
•  Know who called while you are on the other line or when you were away.
•  Screen unwanted calls, eliminate harassment from annoying calls, or to get 

prepared before answering a call.

IMPORTANT: In order to use all of the features of this telephone, you must subscribe 

to two separate services available from your local telephone company: the standard 

Name/Number Caller ID Service to know who is calling when the phone rings and Caller 

ID with Call Waiting Service to know who is calling while you are on the phone. Because 

cordless phones operate on electricity, you should have at least one phone in your home 

that isn’t cordless, in case the power in your home goes out.

Make sure your package includes the items shown here.

To use this phone, you need an RJ11C type modular 

telephone jack, which might look like the one pictured here, 

installed in your home. If you don’t have a modular jack, 

call your local phone company to find out how to get one 

installed.

Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false ringing, 

unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
When you place the handset in the base, the unit verifies its security code.  After 

a power outage or battery replacement, you should place the handset in the base 

for about 20 seconds to reset the code.

INSTALLATION NOTE:  Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies 

that may cause or receive interference with nearby TVs, microwave ovens, 

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, microwave oven, or 

VCR. If such interference continues, move the cordless telephone farther away 

from these appliances. Certain other communications devices may also use the 

2.4 GHz frequency for communication, and, if not properly set, these devices 

may interfere with each other and/or your new telephone. If you are concerned 

with interference, please refer to the owner’s manual for these devices on how 

to properly set channels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may use the 

2.4 GHz frequency for communication include wireless audio/video senders, 

wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some 

long-range cordless telephone systems.

Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public Switched 

Telephone Network and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and

connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of 

devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should 

contact your local telephone company.

  A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and 

telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and

2  Rights of the Telephone Company 

  Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the 

telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify you 

that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice 

is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone 

company may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such 

temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) promptly notify 

you of such temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to correct 

the situation; and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the 

Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules 

and Regulations.

  The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, 

equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the 

operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. 

If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your 

telephone equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice, 

in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
