The EXP2800 features include AutoTalk and AutoStandby. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by

switches. AutoStandby allows you to hang up by simply returning the handset to the base.

The UltraClear Plus™ true compander circuitry virtually eliminates background noise. This innovative
technology provides you with the best possible reception during all your conversations.

To protect you against misbilled calls which might result from your phone being activated by other
equipment, the EXP2800 has Random Code™ digital security which automatically selects one of
approx. 65,000 digital security codes for the handset and base. Also, the AutoSecure™ feature
electronically locks your phone when the handset is in the base.

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, the talk/batt LED flashes when the battery
pack is low.

If the phone is in use, the talk/batt LED flashes and the handset beeps. Complete your conversation as
quickly as possible and return the handset to the base for charging.

NOTE: The last number dialed in the redial memory and the numbers stored in the memory locations

are retained for up to 1 minute while you replace the battery pack.

Cleaning the Battery Charging Contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the battery
contacts on the handset and base unit with a dry cloth or a pencil
eraser about once a month.

Do not use any liquids or solvents.

NOTES: • Even when the battery pack is not being used, it will gradually discharge over a long period

of time. For optimum performance, be sure to return the handset to the base unit after each
telephone call.

• If you must replace the battery pack during a telephone call, complete the replacement within
30 seconds, and you can return to the original call.

C.Connect the base unit

1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and a
standard 120V AC wall outlet.

2) Set the base unit on a desk or tabletop, and place the
handset on the base unit as shown.

3) Then raise the antenna to a vertical position.

4) Make sure the status LED lights. If the LED does not light,
check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and the
handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts.

NOTICE: Place the power cord so it does not create a trip hazard or where it

could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.

NOTES: • Use only the supplied AD-310 AC adapter. Do not use any other

AC adapter.

• Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply.

• Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC adapter easily.

• The handset can be placed face up or face down in the base for charging.
