flipping 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

of approx. 260,000 digital security codes for the handset and base. Also, the AutoSecure™ feature
electronically locks your phone when the handset is in the base.

RocketDial™ is a one-touch speed dial key that automatically dials your most important or frequently

switchable.

• Keep the base and handset 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.

until it comes off.

2) Connect the battery pack connector observing correct polarity
(black and red wires) to the jack inside the battery compartment.

Do not exert any force on this connection. It could cause damage

From fully charged

• Seven hours continuous use

• Fourteen days when the handset is in the standby mode

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 low LED flashes when the battery pack
is low.

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

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.

NOTE: 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.

C. Connect the base unit

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

2) Wrap the cord inside the molded wiring channel as shown.

3) Set the base unit on a desk or tabletop, and place the
handset on the base unit.

4) Make sure the status 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.

After installing the battery pack in the handset, charge your handset at least 15-20 hours before
plugging into the phone line. Once the handset battery pack is fully charged, connect the
telephone line cord to the base and telephone wall outlet.
