Installing portable telephones

To use Norstar Companion portables, you must first install
radio base stations to transceive radio signals to and from the
portable telephones, then bring the system on-line. Installing
base stations on page 28

Companion Portable Telephones are installed differently than
traditional desk sets. There are no direct connections between
the portables and the Norstar system.

Do the following:

•

Install the batteries and battery charging units for each
portable, using the instructions that come with the
portable.

•

Register each Companion portable for use with the Norstar
system. For complete instructions, see the Registration
information beginning on page 70.
