some important guidelines you should consider:
1. The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet
that is not switch-controlled.
2. Keep the base and the handset away from sources of electrical noise such as a TV,
personal computer, or another cordless phone.
3. Place the base unit in a HIGH, CENTRAL location with no obstructions such as
walls.
4. The base unit can be placed on a desk, tabletop or mounted on wall.
Note:
While using the handset:
If you are near a microwave oven that is being used, noise may be heard from the
receiver or the speaker. Move away from the microwave oven and closer to the base
unit.
If more than one cordless phone system is being used and your handset is near another
cordless phone’s base unit, noise may be heard. Move away from other cordless
phone’s base unit and closer to your base unit.

Low Battery
The battery icon on the right of the LCD shows the level of battery strength.

If the handset battery is not properly charged, there will be a warning tone while the
handset is in use and “LOW BATTERY” will be displayed. While this occurs, the handset
will not function when you press the keys.
Cleaning the Battery Contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important 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 do not use any liquids or solvents.

AC POWER
Caution:
1. Use ONLY with the AC Adaptor supplied (AC 120V, DC 7.5V, 500mA).
2. The AC adaptor must remain connected at all times (It is normal for the adaptor to
be warm during use).
3. Do not remove the battery from the handset to charge it. Never throw the battery into
a fire, disassemble it, or heat it.
4. Do not remove or damage the battery casing.
5. If you do not expect to use your phone for a month or longer, remove the batteries.
The batteries may leak chemicals that can destroy the electronic parts.
Charging the drained battery in the middle of a call

the base unit speakerphone first and then charge the handset battery following these
simple steps:
1. Press the [;] key on the base unit. The call is then
transferred to a 3-way call conference among the
handset, the base unit and the external party.

the handset; the call will
be totally swapped from
the handset to the base unit speakerphone.
3. Place the handset on the base unit for charging.
