CHOOSING THE BEST LOCATION
Calls are transmitted between the base unit and the handset, or between handsets, by using wireless
radio waves. For maximum distance and noise-free operation, here are some important guidelines:
1. The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet, which is not
switch-controlled.
2. Keep the base and the handset away from sources of electrical noise such as TV, personal
computer, or another cordless phone.
3. Place base in a HIGH, CENTRAL location with no obstructions such as walls.
4. The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop or mounted on wall.
Note:
While using the handset:
If you are near a microwave oven, which is being used, you may experience noise from the receiver or
the speaker. Move away from the microwave oven and closer to the base unit.
If more than one cordless phone is being used and your handset is near another cordless phone’s base
unit, you may experience interference. Move away from other cordless phone’s base unit and closer to
your base unit.

GETTING STARTED
Your new telephone includes the highest quality NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable
batteries available. Following these simple instructions can significantly improve your
operational results.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Charge all battery packs for at least 15 hours prior to connecting to the telephone line.
1. Press the battery release point on the back of the handset and slide downward to open the battery
compartment.
2. Insert the battery pack into the battery compartment and make sure to position the battery pack so
that it is touching the charging contacts.
3. Slide the battery cover upward until it snaps into place.
4. Connect the AC adapter to the 7.5V DC jack of the base unit and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
5. Place the handset on the base unit. Make sure the Charge indicator on the base unit lights, and
charging begins.
6. The battery icon on the handset changes from very low, to low, to medium, to full and repeats as a
cycle. It only stops after leaving the charging cradle.
Low Battery
The battery icon on the right of the display shows the level of battery.
Full Medium Low Very low
If the handset battery is not properly charged, there is a warning tone while the handset is in use and
“BATTERY LOW” is displayed. When this occurs the handset does not function when you press the
keys.
Cleaning the Battery Contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean all battery contacts on the handset and the base unit
with a soft, dry cloth about once a month. You may also use a pencil eraser or other contact cleaner.
Do not use any liquids or solvents.
15
Page 17
GETTING STARTED
AC POWER
Caution:
1. Use ONLY with the AC Adapter supplied (AC 120V, DC9V, 500mA).
2. The AC adapter must remain connected at all times (It is normal for the adapter to be
warm during use).
3. Do not remove the battery from the handset to charge it. Never throw the battery into a fire,
disassemble it, or heat it.
4. Do not remove or damage the battery casing.
5. If you do not expect to use your phone for a month or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can
leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
6. For the longest battery, life and optimal operation of the phone system ALWAYS completely charge
and discharge the batteries.
CONNECTING THE BASE UNIT
1. Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the jack at the bottom of the base unit and plug the
other end of the cord into the modular telephone wall jack.
2. Plug the AC adapter into the 9V DC jack on the base and the other end into a standard 120V AC
wall outlet.
3. Set the base unit on a tabletop and then place the handset on the base unit.
Note:
1. Use only the AC adapter supplied.
2. Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power outlet.
3. Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC adapter easily.
Tip: If your telephone outlet is not modular, contact your telephone company for assistance.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The following suggestions will help you care for the system so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the system dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liq¬uids might contain
minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the system only in normal temperature envi¬ronments. Temperature
extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Handle the system gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage c
ircuit boards and cases and can cause the system to work improperly.
Keep the system away from excessive dust and dirt,
which can cause premature part wear.
Wipe the system with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use
harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the system.
Modifying or tampering with the system’s internal components can cause a malfunction and
might invalidate the system’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it.
