Preparing for Use
Before you can use your cordless telephone, you must charge the HANDSET for 12 hours.
Failure to do so will require recharging of the BATTERY PACK more often.
1. Place the HANDSET on the BASE UNIT for 12 hours.
2. After 12 hours, remove the HANDSET from the BASE UNIT.
3. Raise or reposition the BASE UNIT ANTENNA for the best reception.
Before you can use your cordless telephone, you must charge the HANDSET for 12 hours.
Failure to do so will require more frequent charging of the BATTERY PACK. See page 11
for more information on the BATTERY PACK.
NOTE:
Depending on the frequency of use, once the HANDSET is fully charged, it remains functional for
approximately 4 hours of continuous use and approximately 5 days when the HANDSET is off the
BASE UNIT in STANDBY mode.
Placing Calls
1. Press the button. The IN USE LED
indicator will light up.
2. Listen for a dial tone.
3. Dial the phone number.
4. When you have finished your call, press the
button again. The IN USE LED indicator
will turn off.
NOTES:
1. The BASE UNIT does not have a ringer and does not ring when receiving an incoming call.
2. If you are too far away from the BASE UNIT, the HANDSET emits "beep" sounds to warn
you that the background noise level is too high for proper communication between the
HANDSET and the BASE UNIT. When you hear this sound, you should move closer to the
BASE UNIT to reduce the noise level. Otherwise, the call will automatically cut off.
IMPORTANT
When you hear interference, press the scan
button to change the operating channel.
