Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there
are some important guidelines you should consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack
and continuous power outlet.
A continuous power outlet is an AC
outlet which does not have a switch
to interrupt its power.
• Keep the base unit and handset
away from sources of electrical
noise such as motors or
fluorescent lighting.
• Be sure there is sufficient space
to rotate the base unit antenna
to a fully vertical position.
Important
: Do not place the power
cord in an area where it may create a
trip hazard or become chafed and
create a fire or electrical hazard.
Setting the Dialing Mode Switch
Place the switch in the
TONE
position for tone
dialing, or the
PULSE
position for pulse dialing.

Charging the Battery Pack
The rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium battery pack must
be fully charged before using your phone for the first
time.
Before plugging the phone line into your new
phone, you must charge the battery for at least
15 hours without interruption
.
1
Remove the handset battery cover.
2
Plug the battery’s
cable into the
handset and place
the battery pack
inside the battery
compartment.
3
Replace the battery cover.
The connectors will fit together only one
way. Make sure the battery’s connector is
property aligned.
▼
Charging the Handset
Place the handset on the base
to charge. (The handset can
charge in either the face-up or
face-down position.)
▼
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery pack in the
handset is low and needs to be
charged, the
TALK/BATT LOW
indicator flashes every 3 seconds.
If this occurs while you are on the
phone, you will hear an alert tone.
Complete your call as quickly as
possible, and return the handset
to the base for charging.
▼
Cleaning the Battery Contacts
To maintain a good
charge, it is important to
clean all battery contacts
on the handset and base
about once a month.
Use a dry cloth or other
contact cleaner.
Do not use any liquids
or solvents.
Rechargeable batteries have a memory
effect that reduces standby and talk time.
To avoid this memory effect, on a
monthly basis use the phone until the
low battery indicator appears. Then
charge the battery for 15 hours.
Repeated short chargings may cause
memory effect in the handset battery. It
is recommended not to replace the
handset to the base after each call.
