Installation setup

You must install and charge
the handset battery before
using the cordless handset.

Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not
controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat surface
or vertically mounted on the wall (see page 9). For optimum range and better
reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location.

Depending on the environmental conditions, make sure that your Bluetooth
enabled cellular phone is within 12 feet of where you install the telephone
base in order to maintain a reliable connection among your Bluetooth cell
phone, telephone base, and cell tower.

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (Digital Subscriber Line - DSL)
through your telephone line(s), you must install a DSL filter between the
telephone base and the telephone wall jack (see the following page). The filter
will prevent noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please
contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.

Your product may be shipped with a protective sticker covering the handset or
telephone base display - remove it before use.
