Getting Started

Setup

Charging of the Handset Battery Pack

The handset of your cordless telephone is powered by a rechargeable battery 

pack. It charges automatically whenever handset is in its charger.

You should charge the batteries for 10-12 hours when you first receive your 

phone. You will know the battery pack needs charging when:
•    The low battery message is displayed:

•    The handset seems completely dead, the LCD is 

completely clear and does not activate when you 

press the keys.

Note: While in PLACE IN CHARGER (low battery) 

mode, the keypad sounds, backlighting and speak-

erphone features will not work. When the battery has been charged, the features 

will return to their normal function.

IMPORTANT:

1.  Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire, it might explode.

2.  Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Toxic substances may be released,  

causing harm to eyes or skin.

3.  Exercise care in handling batteries in order to prevent an accidental short of 

the charge contacts, potentially causing the batteries to overheat.

Installation of Battery Pack in Handset

Follow the steps below:
.  Remove  the  battery  compartment 

cover by pressing on the indentation 

and sliding downward. Place the new 

battery  pack  in  the  handset  with  the 

positive and negative poles aligned in 

the battery compartment.

2.  Replace the battery cover by sliding it 

upwards.

3.  If the new battery pack is not already 

charged,  place  the  handset  in  its 

charger,  and  allow  it  to  charge  for 

0-2  hours.  After  initial  charge,  a 

maintenance charge of 8 hours should 

be sufficient. 

   

Connecting power to Base Unit/Hand-

set Charger

.  Plug the power adapter into an electrical 

outlet, and the connector into the connec-

tor jack at the bottom of the base unit.

2.     Choose the location for your handset charger, 

and plug its power supply into an electrical 

outlet.
