Getting started
Telephone installation
Install the telephone base and handset charger(s) as shown below.
Make sure that the electrical outlet is not controlled by a wall switch.
If you subscribe to digital subscriber line (DSL) high-speed Internet service
through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone
line cord and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID
problems caused by DSL interference. Contact your DSL service provider for
more information about DSL filters.
Telephone
wall jack
If you have DSL
high-speed Internet
service, a DSL filter
(not included) is
required.
This telephone provides minimal functionality during a power outage. When
the AC power is not available, many telephone features do not function. The
telephone uses power from the telephone line to enable you to make and answer
calls using only the corded handset and dialing keys. However, when more than
one telephone on the same line is being used simultaneously, there might not be
sufficient power to operate your telephone in the event of a power failure.

Getting started
Handset battery charging
Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status (see
the table below). If necessary, place the handset in the handset charger to charge
the battery. For best performance, keep the handset in the handset charger when
not in use. The battery is fully charged after 11 hours of continuous charging. See
the table on page 63 for battery operating times.
If the screen is blank or displays Place in charger, you need to charge the
handset without interruption for at least 30 minutes to give the handset enough
charge to use the telephone for a short time. When the battery is low, the
handset displays Low battery along with a flashing icon. If you are on a call in
low battery mode, the handset plays short beeps to alert you.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.
