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 pack 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 all handsets completely (about 15 hours) before using them.
Connect the telephone cord
Connect the
TEL LINE
jack on the base to a standard telephone wall jack.
Test the connection
1. Pick up the handset from the cradle and press
Talk/flash
. You should hear a dial tone, and the display
should say
Talk
.
x
If you don't hear a dial tone or the display says
Check Tel Line,
check the connection between the base and the
phone jack.
2. Make a quick test call. (Press
End
to hang up.)
x
If you keep hearing a dial tone, try changing to pulse dialing mode.
x
If you hear a lot of noise, there might be interference (see p. 8).
3. Test all your handsets the same way. If you can’t get a dial tone, try
moving the handset closer to the base.
Changing from tone to pulse dialing
Your phone uses tone dialing by default. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you need to change your
phone’s dial mode.
1. From the handset, open the menu and select
Global Setup
. (See p. 4 for details on using the menu.)
2. Select
Dial Mode
, then select
Pulse
. The phone sounds a confirmation tone.
To send DTMF tones during a call (e.g., for an automated response system), press
*
to temporarily switch to
tone dialing. When you hang up, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing.
