Note:  For optimum battery life, charge all of your handsets completely before you connect the 

telephone cord. The first time you charge a new battery, allow 15 to 20 hours.

1-4. Connect the Telephone Cord

If you receive high-speed internet service through 

your telephone line  (referred to as DSL), you 

should install a DSL filter between the telephone 

base and the wall jack. Standard telephones 

often can’t operate correctly without a DSL filter.

Test the connection

Make a quick test call, and then press 

[END]

 to hang up.

What if the call doesn't go through?
Check to see if your telephone provider uses pulse dialing.

(See section 3-1 on System Options.)

What if there is a lot of static?

Check the sources of interference described in section

1-1 on Choosing the best location: is the base near

any of those?

1-5. Register the Accessory  Handsets

1-6. Things to Remember

When you charge the handsets, the Caller ID summary screen and the 

name of the handset appear in the display.

Lots of people put HANDSET #1 in the base, but it doesn’t matter which 

handset you put in the base and which one you put in the charging cradle. 

Now your phone is ready to use!

1-7. Attach the Belt Clip

To attach the belt clip

Insert the tabs on the side of the belt clip into the holes on either side of the handset. 

Press the belt clip down until it clicks into place. (Tug on the clip to make sure it’s secure.)

To remove the belt clip

Gently pull the tabs out of the holes, then slide the belt clip off of the handset.
