Installing Your Accessory Handset

Follow these steps to get your new handset ready to use.

Step 1: Connect the Charger

1 Connect the AC adapter (AD-0005) to the

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

2 Set the charger on a desk or tabletop.

[2]

• Use only the supplied AC adapter (AD-0005). Do not

use other AC adapters.

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

Step 2: Install the Batteries and charge your

new handset for 15-20 hours

1 Remove the battery compartment cover. Press down on the

semi-circle indent and slide the cover off.

2 Charge the battery for 15-20 hours before using. To charge the

batteries, place the handset on the charger. While charging,
the symbol scrolls. When the battery is fully charged and the
phone is off the cradle, all the bars of the battery symbol will
be filled. If the symbol does not appear, reposition the handset
in the charger, ensuring that the charging points contact.

NOTE: Once your handset is fully charged, your phone is

designed for the charge LED to turn off for approximately
4 seconds during the following instances:

1) just after reaching a full charge

2) 1 minute after reaching a full charge

3) every 5 minutes after reaching a full charge

To alleviate the charge LED from blinking on the charger
base, you can simply remove the handset from the
charging cradle.

You may also select to leave the handset in the cradle
which will not damage the unit. Once fully charged, you
may notice the charge LED light will turn off for 4 seconds
every 5 minutes. This is normal operation and does not
mean your unit is defective.
