Recommended phone line features from the local phone 
company:  Multiple phone lines “hunt group” is a useful 
feature and works well with this phone system.  This 
feature “ties” multiple phone lines to a single phone 
number.  When an outside caller calls this common 
phone number, the phone company automatically finds a 
free line.  In a hunt group, the Call Waiting and the Caller 
ID with Call Waiting (or called Type II Caller ID) features 
are unnecessary because a 2

nd

 call will come in on a 

separate line, rather than on the same line.  For a 2

nd

 

call coming in on a separate line, the phone system’s 
built-in Call Waiting feature will alert the user and allow 
the user to toggle between 2 lines. 

 

6. 

To use the Music/Message-On-Hold feature: Connect 
one end of a standard audio cable into a radio or audio 
player, and plug the other (3.5 mm) end into the MOH 
jack on back of the base.   

 
 

7. 

Connecting an external telephone answering device: 

a. 

Follow instructions that come with the answering 
device. 

b. 

An exemplary configuration: install the external 
answering device in-between the wall phone jack(s) 
and the Base Station.  Either a multiple of single-line 
answering devices or a multiple-line answering 
device can be used.  You may want to disable the 
Base Station’s Auto-Attendant function if that 
interferes with the external device’s built-in Auto-
Attendant. 

 
 

Handset and Charger Installation 

 

1. 

Plug the transformer end of the Charger AC/DC adaptor 
into a standard AC electric power outlet, plug the other 
end into the “DC In” jack on the back of the Charger.

2. 

Install battery pack onto the handset. 

 

3. 

Install handset antenna. 

 

4. 

Place handset onto the charger front slot.  Battery is fully 
charged when the corresponding LED turns green (see 
Charger Features). 

 

5. 

The phone system is now ready to perform basic 
functions such as making and receiving phone calls and 
intercom calls.  No base station or handset programming 
is needed for basic operations. 

 

Note:

  

1.  Handset(s) packaged along with a Base Station are 

pre-registered at the factory.  If you have a new 
handset, you will need to register the handset with 
the base station in order to be recognized as a 
member handset by the base(s) and by other 
handsets.  See Handset Registration. 

2.  Fully charge battery packs before the first usage.
