D936-937.book Page vi Friday, August 30, 2002 10:24 AM

D936/D937 - 900MHz Cordless

■ Do not attempt to recharge the battery pack by heating it.

Sudden release of battery electrolyte can cause burns or
irritation to the eyes or skin.

■ Remove the battery pack if you do not plan to use the phone

for several months at a time. The batteries could leak over
that time.

■ Discard “dead” battery packs as soon as possible because

they are likely to leak into the phone.

■ Do not store this phone or battery pack in a high temperature

area. Batteries stored in a freezer or refrigerator should be
protected from condensation during storage and defrosting.

before using.

■ Your battery pack is rechargeable and can be

recycled once it outlives its usefulness.
Depending upon your local and state law, it
might be illegal to dispose of this battery into a
municipal waste system. Check with your local
solid waste company or call 1-800-8-BATTERY
for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling and
disposal restrictions in your area.

INSTALLING THE D936/D937

D936/D937 - 900MHz Cordless

CHECK THE CONTENTS

Verify that the following items are enclosed:

■ Telephone Base and Handset

■ Long Line Cord

■ Short Line Cord for Wall Mounting

■ Desktop/Wall Mount Wedge

■ AC Adapter

■ One battery pack

■ Spare Battery (optional)

■ Belt Clip

■ User Manual

■ Quick Start Card

CHOOSE A LOCATION FOR THE BASE UNIT

The base should be away from all other electronic
equipment such as a personal computer, microwave,
stereo, or television. It is also a good idea to place the unit
away from noisy areas, or from heat sources such as a
radiator or direct sunlight.

PLUG IN THE ADAPTER

a. Plug the AC adapter tip into the DC 9V jack on the base

and the other end into an electrical outlet. Verify that
the wall outlet is not controlled by a light switch and
that the tip is securely plugged into the jack. If the
optional spare battery is not charged, the phone will
not operate without AC power.

CAUTION

You must use a Class 2 power adapter that supplies
9 Volts DC and delivers at least 600mA. Its center
tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the
phone’s DC 9V jack. The supplied adapter meets
these specifications. Using an adapter that does not
meet these specifications could damage the phone
or the adapter.

NEED TO KNOW

The installation of an AC surge arrester in the AC
outlet to which this adapter is connected to is
recommended. Telephone companies report that
electrical surges, typically lightning transients, are
very destructive to customer terminal equipment
connected to AC power sources.

iv.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of fire, use only 3.6V 850mAh
Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) battery pack in this phone. Do
not attempt to open the sealed battery pack. All used
Ni-Cad batteries must be recycled or disposed of
properly in accordance with all applicable laws.

press down.

c. To replace the battery cover, slide the cover upwards

until the tab engages and the cover snaps into
place.

NEED TO KNOW

Prior to first use, place the handset (display side up) in
the base and charge the battery for at least 12 hours
before connecting the telephone line. The charge light
on the base comes on and indicates that the handset is
charging. The handset must be properly placed in the

base, display side up, in order for the handset battery
to charge.
