Getting Started
Setup
Charging of the Handset Battery
The handset of your cordless telephone is powered by
rechargeable battery. It charges automatically when-
ever the handset is in base unit or charger. Average talk
time on a fully charged battery is about nine hours
depending on environmental conditions, standby time is
approximately four days.
You should charge the battery for 10-12 hours when
you first receive your phone. You will know the bat-
tery needs charging when:
• The low battery message is displayed:
• The handset seems completely dead, the LCD is completely clear and does not
activate when you press the keys.
NOTE: When in LOW BATTERY mode, the keypad sounds, backlighting and speaker-
phone features will not work. When your battery has been charged, your features will
return to their normal function.
IMPORTANT! FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
OF YOUR CORDLESS TELEPHONE SYSTEM:
1. Choose a central location for your base unit.
2. Install your base unit and extension handsets
away from electronic equipment, such as per-
sonal computers, television sets and
microwave ovens.
3. In locations where there are multiple cordless
telephones, separate the base units as far
away as possible.
4. Install your telephone equipment away from
heat sources and sunlight.
5. Avoid excessive moisture, dust or extreme
cold.

1 If the phone will not be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent
possible leakage.

harm to eyes or skin.
