Installing the Phone

Changing the dial mode

Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These days, most base networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your phone’s dial mode. If you don’t get a dial tone or can’t connect to the telephone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:

Press

If you ever need to change the dial mode back to tone dialing, follow the same procedure, but select TONE in step 2.

[Select/menu].

Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the DIAL MODE submenu.

Scroll

[ ] to highlight PULSE.

Press

[Select/menu]. You will hear a conrmation tone.

NOW YOU ARE READY TO USE YOUR PHONE!

Adding accessory handsets

Your phone supports a total of six cordless handsets, including any that were supplied with your phone. You can now place a fully-featured cordless handset anywhere AC power is available to connect the charging cradle.

• If you purchase any accessory handsets separately, you must register the handsets to the base before you can

• use them. (Accessory handsets that come packaged with a base are already registered to that base.)

Registering accessory handsets

When charged, registered handsets display a handset ID number. Handsets that have not been registered display as shown.

To register a DCX300 accessory handset:

Charge the handset for 15-20 hours.

Compatible bases include the DECT2060, DECT2080, DECT2085, DECT2088, and DECT3080 models. Once your handset is registered to more than one base, you can set the handset to search automatically the available base, or you can select manually which base the handset should connect to (for example, if you have one base with an answering machine, you can tell the handset to connect that base to check messages).

Note: To conrm how many bases the handset is registered to, open the SELECT BASE submenu (follow the step
