Do the following steps:
A. Choose the Best Location
B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Packs into the Handsets

A. Choose the Best Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one
which is not connected to a switch).
• The main base and each handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such
as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
• The cradle can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate. For
better reception, place the main base as high as possible.
• The main base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.

Direct wall mounting
If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone
directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:
• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting
location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the
wall.
• Try to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to
avoid excessive cord lengths.
• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of
the main base and handset.
• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring
devices suitable for the wall material where the main base will be
placed.
1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall, (with their appropriate anchoring device), 3-
15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for
mounting the phone.
2) Refer to steps 1 through 5 on page 9 to mount the telephone.

Handset 2, you will not see these options listed on the LCD screen.

HS1 in the display while the phone is charging.)
AutoTalk, Area Code and Language options can be set by using either

fine. If not, follow the steps below:

to tone dialing. (Refer
