Polarization — This product is equipped with a  
polarized AC line plug (a plug having one blade  
wider than the other). This plug will fit in the power  
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you  
cannot insert the plug fully into the outlet, try  
reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn't fit, contact  
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do  
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
If you need an extension, use a polarized cord.

If you use more than one phone or other device on

not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove one

The digital answering system stores up to 16  
minutes of messages on a computer chip and  
records each message’s day and time. This gives  
you advanced capabilities over tape-based  
answering machines:  
You can delete individual messages and save  
the rest.  
• There are no tapes to bother with and no tape  
mechanisms to wear out.  
The remote operation feature lets you operate your  
answering system from a touch-tone phone (or from  
a rotary phone with a pocket tone dialer).
