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 (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 3). 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.

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

batteries, matching the + and
