1. Getting started

WARNING

• Do not place your phone in the bathroom or other humid areas.

• CHOKING HAZARD - SMALL PARTS Not intended for children under 3 yrs. This product is not intended to be used as a toy or play thing.

Location

When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:

• Avoid sources of noise and heat, such as motors, fluorescent lighting, microwave ovens, heating appliances and direct sunlight.

• Avoid areas of excessive dust, moisture and low temperature.

• Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

Getting started 7

• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

HANDSET RANGE

Optimal range is reached when there are no other electrical appliances working within the range area. Any obstruction between the corded base and cordless handset will also reduce the range significantly.

SIGNAL STRENGTH

When out of range of the corded base, the screen shows

Plug the other end of the power adapter into the wall jack.

Use only the provided power adapter.

BATTERY LOW WARNING

If the flashes in the display, you will need to recharge the cordless handset before you can use it again. During charging, the will scroll in the display.

BATTERY PERFORMANCE

In ideal conditions, a fully charged battery pack should give up to 12 hours talk time and up to 180 hours standby time on a single charge.

Note that new battery packs do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.

To keep your battery packs in the best condition, leave the cordless handset off the charger for a few hours at a time.

Running the battery packs right down at least once a week will help them last as long as possible.

The charge capacity of rechargeable battery packs will reduce with time as they wear out, giving the cordless handset less talk/standby time. Eventually they will need to be replaced.

After charging your cordless handset for the first time, subsequent charging time is about 6-8 hours a day. The battery pack and cordless handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.

Getting started 9

Connecting the corded base

Plug the power adapter with smaller pin plug & telephone line cord into the corded base.

Plug the other end of the power adapter & telephone line cord into the wall jack.

Always use the telephone line cord provided in the box.

Use only the provided adapter.

Wall mounting on corded base

This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate.

Plug the power adapter with smaller pin plug & telephone line cord into the corded base.

Snap the wall mount adapter into the notches on the corded base’s back.

DO NOT use a power outlet controlled by a wall switch. Make sure the wall is capable of supporting the weight of the phone, and use the proper type of anchoring device for the wall material.
