Adding a new handset

Your telephone can accomodate up to ve cordless handsets. You can add new

handsets (DS3101, purchased separately) to the DS3111-2/TM3111-2/DS3111- 3/DS3111-4 at any time, but each handset must be registered with the telephone

base before use. The DS3111-2/TM3111-2/DS3111-3/DS3111-4 comes with two/three/four registered

handsets (named HANDSET 1, 2, 3 and 4). Additional handsets will be assigned numbers in the order they are registered (HANDSET 3, 4 and 5). You can register

a maximum of ve handsets.

Before using a new DS3101 handset, you must register it with the telephone base. Each handset must be registered separately.

To register a handset to your telephone base When rst purchased, all optional accessory handsets show

NOT REGISTRED on the screen. The handset may need to

be charged for at least ve minutes before registering to the

telephone base. To register a handset:

Place the unregistered handset in the telephone base or charger. If PRESS FIND HNDST 4 SEC ON BASE does not appear on the handset screen after a few seconds,

• If the registration is not successful, the display will show NOT REGISTERED. To reset the handset, remove the handset from the telephone base or charger and place it back in. Try the registration process again.

• You cannot register a handset if any system handset is in use.

On the telephone base, press and hold FIND HANDSET for about four seconds (until the red IN USE light on the telephone base turns on) and then release the button. The handset will show PLEASE WAIT... and it will take about 10 seconds to complete the registration process. The handset will show REGISTERED and will beep if registration is successful.

When the registration is complete, the newly registered handset will be assigned the next available handset registration number. For instance, if you already have HANDSET 1 and HANDSET 2, the next registered handset will be HANDSET 3.

NOT REGISTERED

To de-register all handsets

Press and hold FIND HANDSET on the telephone base for about 10 seconds (until the IN USE light on the telephone base turns on and starts to flash), then release the FIND HANDSET button.

Immediately press and release FIND HANDSET again. You must press FIND HANDSET while the IN USE light is still flashing. The IN USE light will flash for approximately seven seconds.

Soon, all handsets registered to the telephone base will show CONNECTING... and it will take about 10 seconds to complete the de-registration process. All handsets will show NOT REGISTERED if de-registration is successful.

After deleting the registrations of all handsets, you will need to individually register each handset with the telephone base (see page 6 for registration instructions).

Replacing a handset

When you are replacing rather than adding a handset, for your handsets to be numbered sequentially, you need to delete all the handset registrations on the

telephone base, then register all handsets again.

Installation

• If the deregistration process is not successful, you may need to reset the system and try again. To reset: pick up the registered handset and press the /FLASH button, then press the OFF/CLEAR button and place the handset back into the telephone base. You may also reset by unplugging the power from the telephone base, then plugging it back in.

• You cannot de-register the handset(s) if a system telephone is in use.

About caller ID

If you subscribe to caller ID service from your local telephone company, this feature displays the name and telephone number of the caller before answering a call (even when on another call). The caller ID features of this product will work only if you subscribe to caller ID service and both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

Contact your local telephone company if:

•

you have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined service),

• you have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service,

• you do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services but wish to subscribe. There may be fees for these services, and they may not be available in all areas. This product can be used without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller

ID with call waiting service, although the caller ID features of this product will not function.

Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the cordless handset takes a second or two to synchronize with the telephone before producing a dial tone. Wait for a dial tone before dialing.

If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio, or other appliances may cause

the telephone to not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, rst try

muting the cordless handset before dialing, or dial from another room in your home with less background noise.

The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base. Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit as the telephone base

can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or telephone base to another outlet. Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing

your telephone as far away as possible from the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances, wireless routers, and other cordless telephones.

If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this solves the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector.

The layout of your home or ofce might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the telephone

base to another location, preferably a higher location for better reception. Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and plug in a corded telephone. If calls

are still not clear, the problem is probably in the wiring or local service. Contact your local service company (charges may apply).

If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact the local telephone company (charges may apply).

Do you subscribe DSL Internet service? If yes, you must install a DSL lter to the telephone line

Maintenance

Taking care of your telephone

Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic par ts, so it must be treated with care.

Avoid rough treatment

Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.

Avoid water

Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install your telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.

Electrical storms

Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, use caution when using electrical appliances during storms.

Cleaning your telephone

Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap. Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.

Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in water. If your telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

About cordless telephones

• Privacy: the same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the base and the

cordless handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.

•

Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working electric al outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the cordless handset if the telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.

•

Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause inter ference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the inter ference. (Applies to 25 channel cordless telephones only).

•

Rechargeable batteries: This product c ontains either Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The batter y or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Obser ve proper polarity between the batter y and the battery charger.

•

Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release c austic material which could cause injury.
