Setting up the Phone

Do the following steps:

A. Choose the best location C. Connect the base unit and charging cradle B. Install the rechargeable battery packs into both handsets

A. Choose the best location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS. Here are some important guidelines you should consider:

Avoid heat sources, such as radiators, air ducts, and sunlight

Avoid television sets and other electronic equipment

Choose a central location

Avoid noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy traffic

Avoid microwave ovens

Avoid excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock

Avoid personal computers

Avoid other cordless telephones

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

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

•Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna to a vertical position.

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

B.Install the rechargeable battery packs into both handsets

Both handsets are powered by rechargeable battery packs.

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

Charge the handset battery packs 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 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 insure connection.

3)Make sure you have a good connection by slightly pulling on the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery jack will remain in place.

Low battery alert

When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged,

the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. If the phone is not in use, “Low Battery“ appears on the LCD and none of the keys will operate.

If the phone is in use, “Low Battery“ flashes and the handset beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to either charging cradle for charging.

for

Cleaning the battery charging contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the charging contacts on the handsets, base unit and charging cradle once a month. Using water only, 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: Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other chemical products. Doing so may discolor the surface of the telephone and damage the finish.

The handset is off either charging cradle and the talk/flash key has been pressed enabling a dial tone.

• Standby Mode - The handset is not in use, off either charging cradle, and

Before Using, Register Second Handset to the Base Unit

When the dual handsets are removed from the packaging, the handset that is placed in the base unit first (to charge battery for 15-20 hours), will automatically be registered to the base unit. (It does not matter which handset you choose to place in the base unit first.)

You will also need to register the second handset by placing it in the base cradle. The second handset WILL NOT operate properly until the registration has been completed. Once the handset is registered, it is ready for use.

Follow these simple steps to register:

1)First, install the battery packs in both handsets. Place either handset in the base, then place the second handset in the charging cradle. Charge both handsets for 1520 hours.

2)After fully charging both handsets, remove the handset in the charging cradle, and place it in the base. The charge/in use LED light on the base will begin to flash, indicating that the registration is taking place between the second handset and the base.

3)Wait for at least 5 seconds before removing the handset from the base.

Congratulations, the registration has been completed, and your dual handset cordless phone is ready for use!

2)When there is a power failure for more than one hour:

If power failure occurs (e.g. due to electrical storm or if the unit is unplugged during a move), both handsets will need to be re-registered. To re-register, follow the same registration process on page 13.

Call Transfer Feature

Conveniently, your cordless phone allows you to transfer outside calls from handset to handset, simply by pressing the delete/transfer key. Not to worry, conversations will not be interrupted; only one handset at a time can talk with an outside caller.

The second handset cannot go off hook to listen to conversations or make an outgoing call while the other handset is in use.

To transfer a call (to the second handset)

1) Press the delete/transfer key during a call. The call will automatically be placed on hold and the transfer tone sounds.

2)When the other handset receives the call, the transfer tone

stops. To cancel the transfer, press delete/transfer or talk/flash on the handset.

To receive a transfer call (from the second handset)

Pick up the handset (when AutoTalk is set to On), or pick up the handset and press the talk/flash key to answer the transferred call. Additionally, you can answer the transferred call by pressing

any number key, the , or #/ key (when AutoTalk is set to On).

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 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 7 on page 15 to mount the telephone.
