GETTING STARTED

Installing Your Phone

Charge the Battery

1. Unpack all handsets, 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/

Flash

. 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

hang up.)

– If you keep hearing a dial tone,

change to pulse dialing.

– If there’s a lot of noise, check for

interference (see page 19).

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. 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.
