Introduction
The 20-2432 is an advanced cordless telephone that operates in the 2.4GHz
frequency range.
This manual is designed to familiarize you with the 20-2432 cordless

telephone. We strongly recommend you read the manual before using your

MENU DRIVEN DISPLAYS

The 20-2432 Handset and Base feature a user-friendly display, making it easy
to access the many features of this cordless system. The three black keys,
found directly below the LCD screen, are called soft keys. They are called
this because their functions change depending on what you're doing-making
a call, reviewing Caller ID, adding a name and number to your Phone Book,
etc.
For example, when the Handset is in the idle mode, the LCD displays:
In this case, the 3 soft keys access REDIAL, MENU and MEMORY.
When the Handset is active, the LCD displays:
In this case, the 3 soft keys access VOLUME, HOLD and MUTE.

Connecting to the telephone lines

Your 2-Line 20-2432 will work fine even if you only have one telephone line.
We recommend connecting the modular telephone cord to the jack labeled
LINE 1 / L1 + L2, located on the bottom of the Base Unit. Here are steps for
connecting 2 lines:
If you have 2 Lines coming out of a Single Wall Jack:

Connect a 4-wire (RJ-14) modular phone cord between the wall jack and the
phone jack labeled L1 / L1 + L2.
If you have 2 Lines, each coming out of Separate Wall Jacks:

Connect a modular phone cord from the wall jack you want to designate as
your LINE 1, to the LINE 1 / L1 + L2 jack on the bottom of the Base Unit. Next,
connect a phone cord from the remaining wall jack to the LINE 2 jack on the
Base Unit.
Data Port
Your 2-Line 20-2432 has a Data Port on the back of the Base Unit. This port
provides an easy way to connect your fax machine, laptop computer, modem
or other telephone device for direct access to LINE 2.
The Data Port only provides access to Line 2, so you must have an active line
connected to the LINE 2 jack on the bottom of the Base Unit. Connect a
modular phone cord from the Data Port (look for the small door marked DATA
on the back of the Base Unit) to your fax, laptop, etc.
NOTE: While the Data Port is in use, accidental use of Line 2 by a parallel
phone, your 20-2432, or a Call Waiting ID alert may interrupt the data
transmission.

1. Remove the battery cover by
pressing on the indent and
sliding downward.
2. Place the new battery pack in the

sliding it upwards.
4. If the new battery pack is not
already charged, place the

providers. You must subscribe to these services to get the benefits of these
features. If you do not subscribe to Caller ID services, you can still use
your 20-2432 and the other features it offers.
Due to regional incompatibilities, Caller ID information may not be
available for every call you receive. In addition, the calling party may
intentionally block their name and phone number from being sent.
Basic Operation
Caller ID - Call Waiting ID
Your 20-2432 is capable of displaying the name and/or number of the party
calling before you answer the phone (Caller ID). It is also capable of
displaying Caller ID information in conjunction with a Call Waiting alert
signal (Call Waiting Caller ID). With Call Waiting Caller ID, the Caller ID
data is displayed so you can decide whether to answer the incoming call, or
continue with your current conversation.
As new Caller ID/Call Waiting ID are received, your Handset and Base
displays will alert to the new, Caller ID records, for example:
OR
The number of new calls displayed on the Handset and Base may not be
the same. If, for example, you answer a call on the Handset, it will not count
the Caller ID information for that call as new. However, the Base display will
consider it a new call, and add it to the NEW CALLS total.
After you review all new Caller ID records, the NEW CALLS status will be
turned off.

FCC Part 15
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
The equipment has been tested and found to comply with part 15 of the FCC
rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful inter-
ference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet or on a circuit different from that to

and the REN is listed separately. For equipment approved after that date,
the product identifier is preceded by “US” and a colon (:), and the REN is
encoded in the product identifier without a decimal point as the sixth and
seventh characters following the colon. For example, the product identi-
fier US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate an REN of 0.3.
The REN is used to determine how many devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. In most, but
not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. You may want
to contact your local telephone company for more information.
