DECT 6.0 cordless telephone/
answering system with
caller ID/call waiting

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. 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 protective stickers covering the handset
and telephone base displays - remove them before use.
