Important Safety Instructions!
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
♦This unit is NOT waterproof. DO NOT expose it to rain or moisture.
♦Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.
♦Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
♦Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
♦Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
♦Do not place the handset in any charging cradle without the battery installed and the battery cover securely in place.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
CAUTION! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type! Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. Do not open or mutilate the battery. Disconnect the battery before shipping this product.
For more details, see the Important Information section.
Charge the Battery
1. Unpack all battery packs, and battery covers. If
you need to remove a
cover, press in on the notch and slide the cover down and off.
2.Line up the battery connector with the jack inside the handset; the connector only fits one way.
3.Push the connector in until it clicks into place; tug gently on the wires to make sure the battery is securely connected.
4.Replace the battery cover and slide it into place.
5.Use an AC adapter to connect the power jack on the base to a regular indoor (120V AC) power outlet. Connect any chargers the same way.
6.Place a handset in the base with the display facing forward. If the display doesn’t light up, reseat the handset or connect the base to a different outlet. For 2 or more handsets, place each handset in a charger.
Charge all handsets completely (about 15 hours) before using.
Connect the Telephone Cord
Use the telephone cord to connect the TEL LINE jack on the base to a standard telephone wall jack.
Test the Connection
1.Pick up the handset and press Talk. The handset sounds a dial tone, and the display shows Talk.
–If you don't hear a dial tone or the display says Check Tel Line, check the connection between the base and the phone jack.
2.Make a quick test call. (Press End to hang up.)
–If you keep hearing a dial tone, change to pulse dialing.
–If there’s a lot of noise, check for interference (see p. 17 ).
3.Test all handsets the same way. If you can't get a dial tone, move the handset closer to the base.
Changing to Pulse Dialing
Your phone uses tone dialing by default. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you need to change your phone’s dial mode.
1.On a handset, press Menu/select and choose Global Setup.
2.Select Dial Mode then Pulse. You’ll hear a confirmation tone.
To send DTMF tones during a call (e.g., for an automated response system), press * to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When you hang up, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing.
