Getting started
Installation
You must install and
charge the battery before
using the telephone.
Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet
not controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat
surface or vertically mounted on the wall (see page 8). For optimum range and
better reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line)
through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the
telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (see the following page). The
filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please
contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.
Your product may be shipped with a protective sticker covering the handset or
telephone base display - remove it before use.
For customer service or product information, visit our website at

Communication devices such as: television sets, VCRs, or other
•
cordless telephones.
Excessive heat sources.
•
Noise sources such as a window with traffic outside, motors, microwave
•

Getting started
Battery installation and charging
Install the battery as shown below. Once you have installed the battery, the
screen indicates the battery status (see table below). If necessary, place the
handset in the telephone base or charger to charge the battery. For best
performance, keep the handset in the telephone base or charger when not in
use. The battery is fully charged after 16 hours of continuous charging. See
the table on page 70 for battery operating times.
If the screen shows Place in charger and flashes, you need to charge the
handset without interruption for at least 30 minutes to give the handset
enough charge to use the telephone for a short time. The following table
summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.

Getting started
Installation options
Your telephone base is ready for tabletop use. If you want to mount your
telephone on a wall, use the provided wall mount bracket to connect with
a standard dual-stud telephone wall mounting plate. If you do not have this
mounting plate, you can purchase one from many hardware or consumer
electronic retailers. You might need a professional to install the mounting plate.
Tabletop to wall mount installation
1. Plug the power cord and telephone line into the telephone base. If you
are using a DSL filter, plug the other end of the telephone line into
the filter. Route the telephone line cord (or DSL filter) through the wall
mount bracket hole.
2. Position the telephone base as shown below. Insert the extended tabs (see
below figure 2) of the wall mount bracket into the slots on the back of
the telephone base (marked B). Push the telephone base down until it is
securely in place.
3. Plug the telephone line cord (or DSL filter) into the wall jack. Plug the
power adapter into a power outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
4. Align the holes on the wall mount bracket with the standard wall plate
and slide the wall mount bracket down until it locks securely. Bundle the
telephone line cord and power adapter cord neatly with a twist tie.

Home area code
If you dial seven digits to make a local call (no area code required), enter
your area code into the telephone as the home area code. When you receive
a call from within your home area code, the caller ID history only displays the
seven digits of the telephone number.
This feature makes it easy for you to place a call from the caller ID log. If you
dial 10 digits to make a local phone call, do not use this home area code
feature. If you do, you cannot place local calls from your caller ID log, as they
will have only seven digits.
To set the home area code on a cordless handset:
1. Press MENU/SELECT in idle mode to enter the main menu.

you need to delete your home area code and dial out locally from the
call log. With the home area code displayed, press and hold X/DELETE
until the digits are deleted, and then press MENU/SELECT. The home
area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _ (empty).
