Connecting the base station

First

connect the power adapter and

then

the phone jack as shown below

and place the cables in the cable

recesses.

1 Underside of the base station (detailed

view)

2 Power adapter 110 V

3 Phone jack with phone cord

Please note:

Minimum No. 26 AWG telecommunica-

tion line cord must be used with this

phone.

The power adapter must be

always

connected

, as the phone will not oper-

ate without an electrical connection.

Setting up the handset for use

Inserting the batteries

Fit the batteries with the correct polar-

ity (see diagram).

The polarity is indicated in/on the battery

compartment.

Closing the battery cover

First align the notches on the side of

the battery cover with the clips on the

inside of the casing.

Then close the cover, press on the top

so that it clicks into place.

Attaching the belt clip

There are notches for attaching the belt

clip on the side of the handset at the same

height as the display.

Caution:

Use only rechargeable UL approved AAA bat-

teries. Never use conventional (non-recharge-

able) batteries or other battery types as this

may cause significant damage to health and

property. For example, the outer casing of the

batteries could be destroyed or the batteries

could explode. The phone could also malfunc-

tion or be damaged as a result of using batter-

ies that are not of the recommended type.
