INSTALLING YOUR PHONE

1. Unpack the handsets, battery packs,

and battery covers.

2. If you need to remove the cover, press

in on the notch and slide the cover
down and off.

3. Line up the battery connector with the

jack inside the handset; the connector
only fits one way.

4. Push the connector in until it clicks

into place; tug gently on the wires
to make sure the battery is securely
connected.

5. Replace the battery cover and slide it into place.

6. Use the AC adaptor to connect the power jack on the charger to a

regular indoor (240V AC) power outlet. Connect any chargers the
same way.

7. Place the handset in the charger with the display facing forward. If

the display doesn’t light up, reseat the handset or connect the charger
to a different outlet. For 2 or more handsets, place each handset in a
charger.

Charge the Battery

Use the telephone cord to connect the TEL LINE jack on the base to a
standard telephone wall jack.

Connect the Telephone Cord

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 to hang up.)

- If there’s a lot of noise, check for interference (see page 20).

3. Test all handsets the same way. If you can’t get a dial tone, move the
