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 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, 60
Hz) 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.

dial tone, and the display shows

.
– 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 page 20).
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.

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.
