GE 27944 User Manual

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 User’s Guide 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.

•   Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
•   Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for 

wet locations.

•   Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the telephone line has been 

disconnected at the network interface.

•   Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
•   Temporarily disconnect any equipment connected to the phone such as faxes, other 

phones, or modems.

Your cordless telephone system should be placed on a level surface such as a desk or table 

top, or you can mount it on a wall.

NOTE: You must connect the handset battery before use.

1.   Locate battery and battery door which are packaged together inside a plastic bag and are 

separate from the handset.
