Checking the package contents

Setting up the phone

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment.

If you have questions about what will disable your alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.

Note:

Do the following steps:

A. Choose the best location

B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset

C. Connect the base unit and charge the handset

A. Choose the best location

Here are some important guidelines you should consider:

• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet that is not switchable.

• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.

• The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.

• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.

UP015DH(CLT5810) ENG OM 3/9/05 10:36 AM Page 4

B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset

The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack.

The battery recharges automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit.

Charge the handset battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before using your new cordless telephone for the first time! To maximize

the charge capacity of your battery pack, DO NOT plug the telephone cord into the base unit and wall jack until the battery is fully charged.

1 Press down on the handset battery case

cover (use the finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.

2 Plug the battery pack connector (red &

black wires) into the small, black jack inside the battery compartment. (The connector notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one-way.) Match the wire colors to the polarity label in the battery compartment, connect the battery and listen for a click to ensure connection.

3 Make sure you have a good connection

by pulling slightly on the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery jack will remain in place.

4 Place the battery case cover back on the

handset by sliding it upwards until it clicks into place.

Use only the Sanyo rechargeable battery pack supplied with your cordless telephone.

Low Battery

¨ flashes and the handset beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base unit for charging.

Cleaning the battery charging contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the charging contacts on both the handset and the base unit once a month. Using rubbing alcohol, dampen a cloth to clean the charging contacts. Then make sure to go back over the charging contacts with a dry cloth before returning the handset to the base to charge.

Caution: Prevent alcohol from prolonged contact with cabinet to avoid possible damage to the finish.

Terminology

• Talk Mode -

The handset is off the base and the TALK/FLASH key has been pressed, enabling a dial tone.

• Standby Mode -

GETTING

STARTED

• The last number dialed in the redial memory and the numbers stored in the memory locations are retained for up to 3 minutes while you replace the battery pack.

• Even when the battery pack is not being used, it will gradually discharge over a long period of time. For optimum performance, be sure to return the handset to the base unit after a telephone call.

Contacts

C. Connect the base unit and charge the handset

1 Connect the AC adapter

to the DC IN 9V jack and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet.

2 Set the base on a desk

or tabletop, and place the handset in the base unit.

3 Make sure that the

CHARGE/IN USE LED illuminates.

If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts.

GETTING

STARTED

• Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply.

• Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC adapter easily.

Notes:

• Use only the supplied Sanyo AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter.

• Do not place the power cord so that it creates a trip hazard or where it could become damaged and create a fire or electrical hazard.

IMPORTANT

Route the cord.

• After installing the battery pack in the handset, charge your

handset at least 15-20 hours before plugging into the phone line.

4 Place the handset in the base unit for

15-20 hours without interruption. The base unit’s LED light (labeled CHARGE/ IN USE) illuminates once the handset is placed in the base. The LED light will illuminate whether the battery pack is connected or not.

If the base CHARGE/IN USE LED light does not illuminate:

• Check to see if the AC adapter is plugged into the base unit and the electrical wall outlet properly. (Use only the supplied AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter.)

• Check to see if the handset is sitting correctly in the base and making good contact with the base unit’s charging contacts.

5 Once the handset battery pack is fully

charged, connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack and to a telephone outlet.

Direct wall mounting

If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:

• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.

• Try to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive cable lengths.

• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.

• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.

1 Insert two mounting screws into the wall,

(with their appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apart.

Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.

2 Refer to steps 1 through 6 on page E9 to

mount the telephone.
