Choose a central location

• 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 each handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave

ovens, and uorescent lighting.

• The cradle can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate. 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 specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable your alarm

equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualied installer.

Installing.the.Rechargeable.Battery.Packs.into.the.Handsets

Each handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. Once installed, the battery charges automatically when the handset is placed in the base or charging cradle.

To install the rechargeable battery pack:

1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the nger indention for a better

grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.

2) Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires) into the small jack inside the

battery compartment. (The connector notches t into the grooves of the jack only

one-way.) Match the wire colors to the polarity label in the battery compartment, connect the battery, and listen for a click to insure connection.

3) Make sure you have a good connection by slightly pulling on the battery wires. If

the connection is secure, the battery jack will remain in place.

4) Place the battery case cover back in the handset by sliding it upwards until it clicks

into place.

jack.

Direct.wall.mounting

If you don’t have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:

• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location that could cause a

hazard when inserting screws into the wall.

• Try to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive cord lengths.

• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.

• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices suitable for the wall

material where the base unit will be placed.

1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall (with their appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.

2) Refer to steps 1 through 6 on page 1

1 to mount the telephone.

Both handsets will need to be registered to the main base unit before use. Whichever handset you choose to charge in the base unit will automatically register to the base unit. The handset charging in the extra charging cradle MUST also be registered to the base unit before use.

To register the extra handset:

1) Be sure both handsets are fully charged.

2) Pick up the handset from the charging cradle, and place it in the base unit. The in.use/

unit will begin to ash, indicating that the registration is taking place.

3) Wait for at least 5 seconds, then pick up the handset from the base unit.

4) Press

[talk/ash] on one handset. If TALK appears on the display, the handset is registered, press [end]. Then try with another handset. If each handset displays TALK, the handset has been registered to the base. Otherwise, return to step 1 and try again.

5) Once both handsets are registered, it doesn’t matter which handset is placed in the base unit or the charging cradle.
