Setting up the Phone

Do the following steps:

A. Choose the best location C. Connect the main base unit and charging cradle

B.Install the rechargeable battery packs into both handsets

A. Choose the best location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS. Here are some important guidelines you should consider:

Avoid heat sources, such as radiators, air ducts, and sunlight

Avoid television sets and other electronic equipment

Choose a central location

Avoid noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy traffic

Avoid microwave ovens

Avoid excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock

Avoid personal computers

Avoid other cordless telephones

•The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet which is not switchable.

•Keep the main base and each handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.

•The main base can be placed on a desk or tabletop.

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 qualified installer.

5)Place one handset in the main base unit and one handset in the charging cradle for 15-20 hours without interruption. The main base or charging cradle unit’s LED light (labeled charge/in use or charge) illuminates once the handset is placed in the main base or charging cradle. The LED light will illuminate whether the battery pack is connected or not.

If the main base charge/in use or charging cradle charge LED light does not illuminate:

•Check to see if each AC adapter is plugged into both cradles and the electrical wall outlets properly. (Use only the supplied AC adapters. Do not use any other AC adapters.)

•Check to see if both handsets are sitting correctly in each cradle and making good contact with each charging cradle unit’s charging contact.

•Talk Mode -

The handset is off either charging cradle and the talk/flash key has been pressed, enabling a dial tone.

•Standby Mode - The handset may be

sitting in or off either charging cradle but is NOT in use. The talk/flash key has not been pressed and there is no dial tone.

Low battery alert

When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. If the phone is not in use, Low Battery appears on the LCD and none of the keys will operate.

If the phone is in use, Low Battery flashes and the handset beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to either charging cradle for charging.

Dial mode setting, last number dialed, names and numbers stored in memory locations (including RocketDial), CID list are retained for up to 30 minutes while you replace the battery pack.

Cleaning the battery charging contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the charging contacts on both handsets once a month. Using water only, dampen a cloth to clean the charging contacts. Then make sure to go back over the charging contacts with a dry cloth before returning the handsets to the main base unit or charging cradle to charge.

Caution: Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other chemical products. Doing so may discolor the surface of the telephone and damage the finish.
