GETTING STARTED: DO THIS FIRST!
FIRST, After unpacking your new cordless phone:
CHARGE THE HANDSET BATTERY!
• Set your new phone in an out-of-the-way place near a
power outlet but where it will not be disturbed.
• Plug the AC adaptor into the wall power outlet.
• Plug the AC adaptor cord into the power jack on the base
unit. The “POWER” LED should light. If not, see
“TROUBLESHOOTING,” page 31.
• Take the cover off the handset battery compartment; plug
the battery connector into the receptacle inside the battery
compartment and replace the cover. The connector only
goes in one way.
• Place the handset into the base unit’s charging cradle. The
“CHARGE” LED should light.
• The battery charging period has now started. From now
until the 12 hour period is complete, do not let anything
cause the handset to be removed from electrical contact
with the base unit’s charging pins or power to be removed
from the base unit.
Now, set the dial mode to Tone or Pulse for your type of
service according to the instructions on Page 14 and your
