About the digital security code

This cordless telephone uses a digital security code to prevent unauthorized access to your base unit. This security code prevents other cordless handsets from making calls through your base unit. A random security code will be assigned automatically between your base unit and handset when you charge the battery pack for the first time. If you want to reset the security code, see page 35.

Choose the best location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS brochure. 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

• You should charge your handset for 15-20 hours before using the phone.

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

• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors and fluorescent lighting.

• Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna fully vertical.

• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop or mounted on a standard wall plate.

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.

Connect the base unit

If you want to install the base unit on the wall, see page 8.

1 Connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack and to

a telephone outlet.

2 Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to a

standard 120V AC wall outlet.

3 Set the base unit on a desk or

tabletop and place the handset on the base unit. Then raise the antenna to a vertical position.

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.

Direct wall plate 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 10 - 15 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.

into the wall, (with their appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 3/16 of an inch between the wall and screwheads for mounting the phone.
