Your handset has a four-way function key that allows you to move the cursor (or highlighted area) on the display and access the most commonly used features at the touch of a button. By moving this key to the left, you open the Phonebook. Move the key to the right to access Caller ID information. To use this four-way key, place your thumb over the key on the station and move to the four positions to get the feel of how it moves and operates.
Using the Handset Menus
To open the menu, press the MENU soft key. Highlight the option you want by pressing the four-way function key. This will move the cursor; the option currently highlighted appears in reversed out text. Select the highlighted option by pressing the OK soft key. To exit the menu and return to standby, press [ ].
If you do not press a key within 30 seconds, the phone will time out and exit the menu. When setting Date and Time, the time-out period is extended to two minutes.
Note: For GLOBAL SETUP and DEREGISTER HS menu options, make sure the line is not in use and the handsets are within range of the base.

Installing the Phone
Choosing the Best Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:
The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one which is not connected to a switch). The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ov-
ens, and uorescent lighting.
For better reception, place the base as high as possible. The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception. If your home has wired alarm equipment connected to a phone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact
your telephone company or a qualied installer.
Note: For maximum range: Keep the antenna free of obstruction. When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position. Do not hold the handset where you would block the signal. Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance.

Press in on the handset battery case cover (use the nger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover
downward to remove. Plug the battery cable into the battery jack. Be sure to match the red and black wires to the label near the
jack. The cable should snap into place. Gently pull on the battery cable. If the battery connector comes lose, try connecting again until the battery snaps into place.
Place the battery case cover back on the handset and slide it upwards until it clicks into place.

Connecting the Base and Charging the Handset
Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 9V jack. Connect the AC adaptor to a continuous power supply (i.e., an outlet that is not controlled by a switch). Place the handset in the base with the LCD screen facing forward. Make sure that the charge LED illuminates. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adaptor
is plugged in and the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts. Charge your handset at least 15-20 hours before plugging into the phone line.

Installing the Belt Clip
Line up the holes on each side of the handset. To attach the belt clip, insert into the holes on each side of the handset. Press down until it clicks.
To remove the belt clip, pull either side of the belt clip to release the tabs from the holes.
Connecting to the Phone Line
Once the handset battery pack is fully charged, connect the tele­phone line cord to the TEL LINE jack and to a telephone outlet.
Testing the connection
To test your connection, try making a call. If your call connects, the
settings are ne. If your call does not connect, check the following:
Check the AC adaptor cord. Make sure it is securely connected to the DC IN connector and to a standard AC power outlet.
Check to make sure the battery is fully charged. (If you don’t see the “battery full” icon, check to make sure the battery is properly connected.)
Change dial mode (instructions on page 16).

Changing the Dial Mode (Australian Model Only)
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dial­ing or pulse dialing. These days, most phone 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 cannot connect to the tele­phone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:
Press the MENU soft key. Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the DIAL MODE submenu. Press [ ] on the four-way function key to select PULSE. (The initial setting is Tone). Press the OK soft key. You will hear a conrmation tone.
If you ever need to change the dial mode back to Tone, follow the same procedure, but select TONE in step 2.
