Sheet
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
Note: If the telephone cord does not fit into your telephone wall jack, contact your local phone provider for
assistance.
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.
Testing 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. Registering 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!
