Choosing the Best Location
Calls are transmitted between the base unit and handset, or between handsets, by
way of wireless radio waves. For maximum distance and noise-free operation,
here are some important guidelines:
1. The location of base unit should be close to both a phone jack and a
continuous power outlet that is not switch-controlled.
2. Place the base unit at a high, central location with no obstructions such as
walls.
3. Keep the base unit and the handset away from sources of electrical noise
such as a TV, personal computer, or another cordless phone.
4. The base unit can be placed on the tabletop or mounted on a wall.
Note: While using the handset:
If you are near a working microwave oven, noise may occur from the receiver or
speaker. Move away from the microwave oven and closer to your phone’s base
unit.
If more than one cordless telephone set is being used and your handset is near
another cordless phone’s base unit, noise may occur. Move away from the other
phone’s base unit and closer to your base unit.
A0073108 6

INSTALLATION
Your new telephone includes the highest quality NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride)
rechargeable batteries. Following the simple instructions below can significantly
improve your batteries operational results.
Connecting the Base Unit
1. Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the ‘TEL. LINE’ jack at the
bottom of the base unit and plug the other end of the cord into a modular
telephone wall jack. (If your wall jack is not modular, contact your local
telephone company for assistance).
2. Plug the supplied DC adapter’s barrel plug into the ‘DC 7.5V’ jack at the
bottom of base unit and the other end into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
Charging the Batteries
1. Press the release point on the back cover of the handset and slide
downwards to open the battery compartment.
2. Insert the supplied two batteries into the compartment according to polarity
marks (+ / -).
3. Slide the back cover upwards until it snaps into place.
4. Place the handset on the base unit and make sure the Charge Indicator on
the base unit illuminates, which indicates that it has begun charging. The
battery icon on the handset LCD will change from the mode of ‘very low’, to
‘low’, to ‘medium’, to ‘full’ and repeat as a cycle.
5. Charge all batteries for at least 15 hours prior to initial use.
A0073108 7

INSTALLATION
DC Power
Caution:
1. Use only with the supplied DC Adapter (AC 120V, DC 7.5V, 300mA).
2. Plug the adapter into a continuous power outlet, which is near the base unit
and is not switch-controlled.
3. The DC adapter must be kept connected at all times. (It is normal for the
adapter to be warm during use).
4. Do not remove the battery from the handset to charge it. Do not remove or
damage the battery casing.
5. For the longest battery life and the maximum talk & standby time, completely
charge and discharge the batteries every time.
6. If you do not expect to use your phone for a month or longer, remove the
batteries from the handset. The batteries may leak chemicals that can
destroy electronic components.
7. To avoid the risk of explosion, do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Check
with your local waste facility for disposal instructions.
Low Battery
The battery icon on the handset LCD shows the current level of battery strength.
If the battery is not properly charged, there will be a warning tone when the
handset is in use and “BATTERY LOW” is displayed. While this occurs, the
handset may not function normally.
Clean Battery Contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is necessary to clean all battery contacts on the
handset and the base unit with a soft, dry cloth about once a month. You may also
use a pencil eraser or other contact cleaner, but never use any liquids or solvents.
A0073108 8

INSTALLATION
Wall Mounting the Base Unit
The base unit can be mounted on a standard wall phone plate.
1. Plug the DC adapter’s barrel plug into the jack marked “7.5V 300mA” at the
bottom of the base unit.
2. Plug the telephone line cord into the jack marked “TEL. LINE”.
3. Hold the base unit up next to the wall jack and plug the line cord into the wall
jack.
Short tab
4. Place the base unit on the posts of the wall plate and push down until the
base unit is secured firmly.
5. Plug the DC adapter into a standard wall outlet.
Note: If you are not using a standard wall plate to mount the phone on a wall, you
may also mount it with ordinary screws. Affix two screws on the wall, remember to
leave 1/8 inch of the screw extending from the wall.
