ABOUT THE GH3028  
An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment. This equipment  
is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular  
jack which is TIA/EIA-IS-968 compliant. See Installation Instructions for details.  
The GH3028 is a 2.4GHz Cordless Telephone with Dual Caller Identifier

The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and  
still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas,  
the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). 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 to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.  
If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may  
discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance  
notice isnt practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to  
file a complaint with the FCC.  
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures  
that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance  
to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service. If you experience trouble  
with this telephone equipment, disconnect from the network until the problem has been corrected  
or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.  
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection  
to party lines is subject to state tariffs.  
The USOC number of the registration jack for the equipment is RJ11C.  
This equipment is hearing aid compatible.  
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible  
for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment.

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable  
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Some cordless telephones  
operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TV’s 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 or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the  
TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference. However, there is no guarantee that  
The GH3028 features include AutoTalk™ and AutoStandby.

a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful  
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off  
and on, the user is encouraged to try to 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 on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is  
connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.  
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the  
installation of this GH3028 does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about  
what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

Wall Mounting  
Handset Battery Charging:  
The battery pack in the handset must be fully charged for about 10-14 hours before  
using the telephone.  
After connecting to AC power, leave the handset unused in the cradle for ten to  
fourteen hours. Later, it will take less time for the battery to recharge. The LCD display  
on the base will show CHARGING” when the handset is in the cradle.  
NOTE:  
a. When the battery gets low, the LCD display will show BATTERY LOW”, and the  
unit will beep every 10 seconds.  
Your telephone may be mounted on a wall phone plate or onto two screws (not  
included) that you fasten to the wall. For either type of installation, complete the  
following steps first.  
1. In case of using the standard wall plate, this step is not necessary.  
Place the Desk/Wall bracket on the wall and mark the location of the screws. Install  
the screws leaving 3/16” extending out from the wall. Use anchors to secure  
screws.  
b. If the battery becomes low while you are on a call, you will be disconnected after  
about 3 minutes. Terminate the call quickly, and put the handset in the base to  
recharge the battery.  
2. To connect the Desk/Wall bracket in the wall mount position, simply align the
