4 Charge your cordless handset
So it can charge fully, place your handset on its charger base for at least 15
hours (make sure the power socket is switched on!).
Important: only use the rechargeable 800mAh NiMH batteries supplied.
Over time if you need to replace the batteries make sure they are of the
same type as those supplied. Never use Alkaline batteries.
Attach the belt clip (optional)
There is a belt clip included in the box that you can attach to the back of your
cordless handset if required. Simply turn the handset over and slot the belt clip
securely into the two holes located on either side of the handset.
Private exchanges: if your phone is going to use a private exchange
(for example, if you have to dial ‘9’ to get an outside line, please follow
the steps on page 89).
Your telephones are now ready for use!
