Avoid television sets and other electronic equipment

Choose a central location

Avoid noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy traffic

Avoid personal computers

Avoid other cordless telephones

•The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet which is not switchable.

B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset

The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery recharges automatically when the handset is placed on the base unit.

Charge the handset battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before using your new cordless telephone for the first time! To maximize the charge capacity of your battery pack, DO NOT plug the telephone cord into the base unit and wall jack until the battery is fully charged.

1)Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.

2)Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires) into the jack inside the battery compartment.

(The connector notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one-way.) Match the wire colors to the polarity label in the battery compartment, connect the battery, and listen for

a click to insure connection.

3)Make sure you have a good connection by slightly pulling on the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery jack will remain in place.

4)Place the battery case cover back on the handset by sliding it upwards until it clicks into place.

5)Place the handset on the base unit face forward for 15-20 hours without interruption. The base unit’s LED light (labeled as charge/in use) illuminates once the handset is placed on the base. The LED light will illuminate regardless if the battery pack is connected or not.

If the base charge/in use LED light does not illuminate:

•Check to see if the AC adapter is plugged into the base unit and the electrical wall outlet properly. (Use only the supplied AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter.)

•Check to see if the handset is sitting correctly on the base and making good contact with the base unit’s charging contacts.

Direct wall mounting

If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:

•Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.

•Try to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive lengths.

•Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.

•Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.

1)Insert two mounting screws into the wall (with their appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apart.

Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.

2) Refer to steps 1 through 6 on page 14 to mount the telephone.
