INSTALLATION
Table/Desk Installation
1 Choose a spot near an electrical outlet and a telephone jack.
This phone requires a modular telephone jack and a standard electrical
outlet (110v AC) not controlled by a wall switch.
2 Install the handset battery.
• Remove the battery compartment cover on the handset by pressing
on the indentation and sliding the cover downward.
• Plug the battery pack connector into the handset and place the
battery pack in the case. (See figure in section on "Handset
Batteries.")
• Place the battery case cover on the handset by sliding it on its track
up over the battery case until it snaps firmly in place.
3 Set the RINGER switch.
Set the switch on the side of the handset to ON so the handset will ring.
When this switch is set to OFF the handset will not ring.
NOTE: If you set the RINGER switch to OFF, the handset battery will last longer .
However, when the RINGER is set to OFF, you will always need to press P
on the handset to answer a call, even if the handset has been in the base.
4 Install the power reserve batteries.
• Turn the base upside down.
• Push in on the two tabs at the large end of the triangular mounting
bracket, and lift it off the unit.
• Push in the tab on the battery compartment door, and open it.
• Insert the 4 AA batteries provided with the phone. When replacing
batteries, always use four new alkaline or heavy-duty batteries.
• Close the battery compartment door.
• Reattach the mounting bracket by inserting the tabs into the slots.
Push down on the large end of the base to lock it into place. Make
sure the larger end is toward the top of the telephone. The telephone should sit flat on your table or desk during use.
5 Connect the telephone line cord.
Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the jack labeled TEL
LINE on the back of the base. Plug the other end of the line cord into a
modular phone jack. Make sure the plug snaps firmly in place.

the base. Plug the AC adapter on the power cord into an electrical
outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

INSTALLATION
NOTE: When the system is first connected to AC power, it begins an automatic
initialization routine. After this routine is complete, the Message Counter
flashes CL, indicating the clock needs to be set. See “Setting the Clock” in the
Answering System Set-up section of this manual.
7 Rotate the base antenna so it is fully upright.
8 Charge the handset batteries before use.
Place the handset in the base and charge the batteries for 4 hours. The
CHARGING light on the base goes on to show the handset is in the
right position to charge the batteries.

PHONE light should go on and you should hear a dial tone. Press
P again to turn the phone off.

If you have touch tone service, the phone is ready to use as soon as the
batteries are charged.
If you have dial pulse service you’ll need to change the dialing mode.
When the phone is off, press P, p, #, #, #, 3 to set
the dial mode to Dial Pulse. To return to touch tone dialing (with touch
tone service), press P, p, #, #, #, 8.
For Wall Installation
The wall mounting bracket is a wedge-shaped plastic piece attached to the bottom
of the base. You’ll need to attach this piece so the thickest end of the bracket is
facing the floor when you wall-mount the base.
1 Follow Steps 1 to 4 in Table/Desk Installation, except do not re-
attach the wall mounting bracket.
2 Connect the power cord to the telephone.
Plug the power cord into the jack labeled POWER on the back of
the base.
3 Guide the power cord from the jack through the straight channel
on the base.
Let the excess cord extend straight out of the end of the channel that is
farthest from the jack.
4 Connect the telephone line cord.
Plug one end of the line cord into the jack on the base. Guide the cord
from the jack through the curved channel on the bottom of the base.
Wrap any excess line cord around the 2 crescent-shaped tabs on the
underside of the wall-mounting bracket. (Make sure you leave enough
cord free to extend to the wall jack.)

bottom of the base when wall-mounted.
7 Connect the line cord to the wall jack.
Make sure it snaps firmly into place.
8 Mount the base on the wall.
Hold the base so the mounting knobs on the wall plate fit the keyhole
slots on the base. Slide the base down onto the knobs until it locks
into place.
9 Plug the AC adapter on the power cord into an electrical outlet not
controlled by a wall switch.
CAUTION: Use only the AC power adapter supplied with this tele-
phone. Power Supply HADW-1; Input:120V AC, 60 Hz, 16 W; Output
12V DC, 900mA.
Note: When the system is first connected to AC power, it begins an automatic
initialization routine. After this routine is complete, the Message Counter flashes
CL, indicating the clock needs to be set. See "Setting the Clock" in the Answering
System Set-up section of this manual.
