GETTING STARTED
Installing Your Phone
Charge the Battery
1. Unpack all handsets, battery packs, and battery
covers. If you need to remove a cover, press in on the
notch and slide the cover down and off.
2. Line up the battery connector with the jack inside the
handset; the connector only fits one way.
3. Push the connector in until it clicks into place; tug gently on the wires to
make sure the battery is securely connected.
4. Replace the battery cover and slide it into place.
5. Use an AC adapter to connect the power jack on the base to a regular indoor
(120V AC) power outlet. Connect any chargers the same way.
6. Place a handset in the base with the display facing forward. If the display
doesn’t light up, reseat the handset or connect the base to a different outlet.
For 2 or more handsets, place each handset in a charger.
#
Charge the handset completely (about 15 hours) before using.
Connect the Telephone Cord
1. Use the telephone cord to connect the
TEL LINE
jack on the base to a standard
telephone wall jack.
#
If the display says
Check Tel Line,
check the connection between the
base and the phone jack.
2. If you are mounting the phone on the wall, place the mounting slots (on the
rear of the base) over the pins on the wall plate; slide the base down to lock
it into place.

to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When you hang up, the phone
automatically returns to pulse dialing.
