A. Choose the best location
B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset
C. Connect the base unit and charging cradle (XS1215+1 only), and charge the handset
D. Mount the base unit on a wall
E. Choose the dialing mode

A. Choose the best location

When choosing a location for your new phone, 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

• 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 handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors and
fluorescent lighting.

• The base 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.

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

cover downward to remove.

2) Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires)
into the jack inside the battery compartment.
(The connector notches fit into the grooves of the
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.

INSTALLING THE PHONE

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 1.5m of a working phone jack to
avoid excessive cord lengths.

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

• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 35mm) with anchoring
devices suitable for the wall material where the main base will be
placed.

1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall, (with their appropriate anchoring device), 100mm apart.
Allow about 3mm between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.

2) Refer to steps 1 through 7 on page 9 to mount the telephone.

Changing the Digital Security Code

To protect you against misbilled calls which might result from your phone being activated by other
equipment, the cordless phone provides (which electrically locks your phone when each
handset is in the cradle) and digital security which automatically selects one of over
262,000 digital security codes for each handset and the main base.
If the handset battery pack is completely discharged or the battery pack is removed, the digital security
code will be lost. If this happens, a new security code is set automatically the next time the battery pack
is charged. In the rare situation that you suspect another cordless telephone is using the same security
code, you can change
the code.
