inside the handset; the connector only fits one
way.
4. Push the connector in until it clicks into place;
tug gently on the wires to make sure the battery
is securely connected.
5. Replace the battery cover and slide it into place.
6. Use an AC adaptor to connect the power jack on the base to a regular
indoor (240V AC) power outlet. Connect any chargers the same way.
7. 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

2. Make a quick test call. (Press END to hang up.)
- If there’s a lot of noise, check for interference (see page 29).

USING SPECIAL FEATURES
Power Failure Back Up System
When a power failure occurs, the charged handset temporarily supplies
power to the base unit. You can then make and receive calls using a
handset. However, none of the keys on the base unit are functional during
the power failure mode.
When a power failure occurs, place the charged handset on the base,
the handset LCD backlight is illuminated for 10 secs and the message
“Supplying power Handset >> Base” is displayed on the LCD.
After 3 seconds, the message “Please don’t pick up the handset” is
displayed on the LCD.
If the handset is lifted from the base during the power back up mode, the
message, “Please put on the base cradle” will be displayed on the LCD.
If the battery level is low, the unit will not work efficently during the power
back-up mode. In addition, in case the handset battery power runs out, we
recommend connecting a corded-type telephone to the same telephone
line.
Making Calls
To make a call during the power failure mode, follow the steps given below:
When more than one handset is registered:
• You should leave one handset on the base unit for supplying the power,
and use another handset for making calls. Please refer to the “Using

• During a call with the handset placed on the base unit (power back-up
mode), the call may be disconnected if you touch the handset. In such a
case, try to call back.
• The range of the base unit is limited during a power failure. Please use
the handset close to the base.
1. Taking care not to lift the handset from the base, press TALK/FLASH (the
speakerphone is turned on automatically). Dial the number.
2. After you finish, press END.
