WELCOME/FEATURES[ 4 ]

The DCT5260 series features include AutoTalk™ and AutoStandby™. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just removing the handset from the base so you don’t have to waste time pushing buttons. AutoStandby allows you to hang up by simply returning the handset to the base.

To protect you against mis-billed calls, which might result from your phone being activated by other equipment, the DCT5260 series has Random Code™ digital security, which automatically selects one of over approx. 130,000 digital security codes for the handset and base.

Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology improves calling range and clarity, and eliminates cross talk. Because it rapidly changes transmission frequencies within the 2.4 GHz badwidth, this cordless phone helps reduce the possibility of eavesdropping.

Cleaning the battery charging contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the charging contacts on both the handset and the base unit once a month. Use a dry cloth or pencil eraser to clean. If the contacts become very dirty, use water only, dampen a cloth to clean the charging contacts. Then make sure to go back over the charging contacts with a dry cloth before returning the handset to the base to charge.

Low Battery

GETTING STARTED

GETTING STARTED [ 15 ]

• Use only the supplied AD-xxx 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.

3) Make sure the charge LED illuminates. If the LED does

not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and that the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts.

Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.

• 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.

4) Connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack and to

a telephone outlet once the handset is fully charged.

If your telephone outlet isn't modular type, contact your telephone company for assistance.

D. Choose the dialing mode

Most phone systems use tone dialing, which sends DTMF tones through the phone lines. However some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as in rural areas. The default setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system, set the mode. To set up the dial mode, see page 24.

• If you are not sure of your dialing system, set the unit to tone dialing. Make a trial call. If the call connects, leave the setting as is, otherwise set the unit to pulse dialing.

• If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones in certain situations during a call, you may “switch-over” to tone dialing. (Refer to “Tone Dialing Switch-over” on page 30.)
