before use. To charge the battery, place the handset, keypad down,
in the base unit. Make sure the

1. Ensure that the AC adapter is plugged in.
2. Ensure that the AC adapter is not plugged into a switched
electrical outlet.
3. Ensure that the handset charging contacts at the bottom of
the handset are making good contact with the base unit’s
charging contacts.
CLEANING THE BATTERY CONTACTS
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean all charging
contacts on the handset and base unit. Use a pencil eraser or
other contact cleaner.
Do not use any liquids or solvents.
BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use only Teledex-approved battery replacements.
2. Dispose of used batteries according to local codes pertaining
to rechargeable batteries.
3. Do not dispose of batteries in fire, as they may explode
4. Charge the telephone's batteries only while in the telephone
handset, and only by using the telephone base unit to charge.
Do not attempt to remove the batteries and charge them in
a separate charging unit.
5. Do not short-circuit the battery pack, as this may cause it to
explode or catch fire.
HANDSET/BASE REGISTRATION PROCEDURE
This procedure establishes an exclusive link between a specific
handset and base, thereby allowing no other access to this
specific base. To accomplish this procedure, place the handset
on the base in the charging position. The
LINE
indicator will
blink while the process is occuring. This process occurs each
time the handset is placed on the base in the charging cradle.

The up and down volume keys will adjust the ringer volume of
the telephone. Additionally, the DCT1800 series telephone has
