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 10). For optimum range and better reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location.

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line DSL) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (see page 6). 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.

Getting started

Backup batteries installation and use

In the event of a power failure, your telephone can still operate with limited functions if there are backup batteries (purchased separately) installed in the telephone base. If a power failure happens during a call on the corded handset, the call continues (at the lowest volume) until you hang up; while a call on the cordless handset or speakerphone disconnects immediately.

During a power failure, you can still make and answer calls using the corded handset. However, you cannot make or answer calls on the cordless handset or speakerphone.

If power resumes while you are on a call, the call continues and the telephone resets once you hang up.

Follow the steps below to install backup batteries.

1. Make sure the telephone line cord

and power adapter cord are not connected to the telephone base.

2. Press the tab on the base battery

cover (on the bottom of the telephone base) toward the cover and swing open the battery door.

3. Insert three new AAA alkaline

batteries, matching the + and

- signs engraved on the telephone base.

4. Replace the backup battery cover

onto the telephone base; the cover clicks into place when it is

For best performance, keep the handset in the charger when not in use. The battery is fully charged after 16 hours of continuous charging. See the table on page 85

for battery operating times. If the screen is blank, you need to charge the handset without interruption for

at least 10 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the telephone for a short time. The screen shows LOW BATTERY and the backlight is off until you have charged the battery without interruption for at least one hour. The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.
