Installing the Phone
Do the following steps:
A. Choose the Best Location
B. Connect the Base Unit and Charge the Handset
C. Choose the Dialing Mode
D. Set the Visual Ringer Brightness (optional)
E. Mount the Base Unit On a Wall (optional)
A. Choose the Best Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines
you should consider:
• There should be enough space to fully extend the antenna.
• 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 the handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise
such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.
GETTING STARTED
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.
Avoid excessive moisture,
extremely low temperatures,
dust, mechanical vibration,
or shock
Avoid heat sources,
such as radiators, air
ducts, and sunlight
Avoid television
sets and other
electronic equipment
Avoid noise sources such as a window
by a street with heavy traffic
Avoid microwave ovens
Avoid personal computers
Avoid other cordless telephones
Choose a
central location

B. Connect the Base Unit and Charge the Handset
1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC in 9V
jack and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
2) Place the handset in the base unit.
3) Make sure that the charge/in use LED illuminates.
If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and
the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts.
4) Charge the handset battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before using your
new cordless telephone for the first time! To maximize the charge capacity of
your battery pack, DO NOT plug the telephone cord into the base unit and wall jack
until the battery is fully charged.
• 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.
• Use only the
supplied AD-314
AC adapter.
Do not use any
other AC adapter.
• Do not place the
power cord where it
creates a trip hazard
or where it could
become chafed and
create a fire or
electrical hazard.
The rechargeable battery is already installed in your phone.

5) Once the handset battery pack is fully
charged, connect the telephone line cord to
the tel line jack and to a telephone outlet. If
your telephone outlet isn't modular, contact
your telephone company for assistance.
6) After the phone is connected, pick up the handset from the base and press talk.
If you do not get a dial tone, check the following:
• Be sure the telephone cord is securely connected to both the base and an active
telephone jack.
• Be sure the charge LED is on. If not, check the AC adapter.
• Be sure the handset is fully charged.
• Be sure the battery is installed correctly.
• Check the dialing mode your telephone company uses. If your telephone company
uses pulse dialing, set your phone to pulse dialing. (see page 10.)

C. Choose the Dialing Mode
Most phone systems use tone dialing which sends DTMF tones through the phone
lines. However, some phone systems (such as those in rural areas) still use pulse
dialing. The default setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system, set the
mode as follows:
Place the switch in the tone position for tone
dialing, or the pulse position for pulse dialing.
If you are not sure of your dialing system, set for
tone dialing. Make a trial call. If the call
connects, leave the setting as is. Otherwise set
for pulse dialing.
D. Set the Visual Ringer Brightness
The visual ringer switch allows you to set the
brightness of the visual ringer LED on the base.
There are three options to choose from: high,
low and off. If you set the switch to off, visual
ringer LED never flashes.
• Make sure your
battery pack is fully
charged before
choosing the
dialing mode.
• If your phone system
requires pulse dialing
and you need to send
the DTMF tones for
certain situations
during a call, you may
switch over to tone
dialing. (Refer to
"Tone Dialing Switchover" on page 19.)

1) Remove the wall mount adapter from the
Base and snap it into the notches on the
bottom of the base.

120V AC wall outlet.

line jack.
6) Wrap the cord inside the molded wiring
channel as shown.
7) Plug the telephone line cord into the

8) Raise the antenna to a vertical position.
9) Align the mounting slots on the base with the mounting posts on the wall.
Then push in and down until the phone is firmly seated.
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.
If the base unit is
mounted on the wall,
always put the handset
in the base with the
CID display facing
forward to make sure
the handset does not
fall out of the base.

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

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.

anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 of an
inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the
phone.
