Installation
6. Plug the adapter into a standard AC out-
let.

it over as shown, then snap it back into
place so it holds the handset.

rectly on a wall, you need two screws (not
supplied) with heads that fit into the keyhole
slots on the bottom of the base. Follow the
steps under “On a Wall Plate or Wall” on
Page 9, then follow these additional instruc-
tions for placement on a wall.

(8 mm) from the wall.

lar cord into the

jack at the
back of the base.

mounting screws and slide the base

CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE BATTERY

hours.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
compartment cover.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the compart-
ment and plug its connector into the
