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 all handsets
completely (about 15 hours)

Connect the Telephone Cord
Use the telephone cord to connect
the
TEL LINE
jack on the base to a
standard telephone wall jack.
Test the Connection
1. Pick up the handset and press
Talk
. The handset sounds a dial
tone, and the display shows
Talk
.
– 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.)
– If you keep hearing a dial tone,
change to pulse dialing.
– If there’s a lot of noise, check
for interference (see p. 15).
3. Test all handsets the same way.
If you can't get a dial tone, move
the handset closer to the base.
Changing 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. On a handset, press
MEnu/sElEcT
and choose
Global Setup
.
2. Select
Dial Mode
then
Pulse
.
You’ll hear 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.
