Installing the Phone
Do the following steps:
A. Choose the Best Location
B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Packs into the Handsets
C. Connect the Main Base and Charging Cradle, and Charge 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.
• There should be enough space to fully extend the antenna.

B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Packs into the Handsets
Both handsets are powered by rechargeable battery packs.
The battery recharges automatically when the handset is
placed in the main base unit or charging cradle.
1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the
finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover
downward to remove.
2) Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires) into the
jack inside the battery compartment.
(The connector notches fit into the grooves of the jack only
one way.) Match the wire colors to the polarity label in the
battery compartment, connect the battery and listen for a
click to insure connection.
3) Make sure you have a good connection by slightly pulling on
the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery
jack will remain in place.
4) Place the battery case cover back in the handset by sliding
it upwards until it clicks into place.

• Place each cradle close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug
the AC adapter easily.
4) Charge your handsets at least 15-20 hours before plugging into the

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 7 on page 8 to mount the telephone.

Tone Dialing Switch-over
If your telephone company requires pulse dialing, you can switch-
over to tone dialing after the call connects. This feature is useful
when you need tone dialing to use any automated menu systems,
such as telephone bank tellers, telephone prescriptions refills,
customer support menus, etc.
If your phone is set to pulse dialing mode, make your call
normally. Once your call connects, press the */tone/←key. Any
digits you enter from then on will be sent as tone digits. When
this particular call ends, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.
Traveling Out-of-Range
During a call, as you begin to move your handset too far from your main base, noise
increases. If you pass the range limits of the main base, your call will terminate within one
minute.
Selecting a Different Channel
If you encounter interference while using your phone, you can manually change the phone´s
channel for clear operation. While using your phone, press the select/channel key. Scanning
appears on the display, indicating the phone is changing to another channel. For more
information on interference, refer to "Precautions" on page 41.
