INTRODUCTION/FEATURES [ 3 ]
DDiiggiittaallSSpprreeaaddSSppeeccttrruummTTeecchhnnoollooggyyutilizes a “wider frequency band“ vs. a
“single narrow band“ used in standard digital transmissions. The 2.4 GHz
frequency range was recently released to commercial communications. The
result is a more secure conversation with the clarity of digital sound, extended
range, and minimal interference from other cordless phones.
RRaannddoommCCooddeeTM digital security automatically selects one of over 65,000 codes
for the handset and base.
These features enhance your phone´s security and also prevents unauthorized
calls as a result of your phone being activated by other equipment.
Throughout this manual, terms such as Standby and Talk Mode are used. Below
is the terminology explanation.
•SSttaannddbbyyMMooddee- The handset is not in use, off the base and has not
been pressed. A dial tone is not present and the display is blank.
•TTaallkkMMooddee- The handset is off the base and has been pressed enabling a
dial tone. Talk appears in the display.

code prevents other cordless handsets
from making calls through your
base unit.
A random security code will be
assigned automatically between your
base unit and handset when you charge
the battery pack for the first time.
If you want to reset the security code,
see page 49.

Setting Up the Base Unit
Do the following steps:
• Choose the best location
• Connect the base unit
• Choose the dialing mode
CChhoooosseetthheebbeessttllooccaattiioonn
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read “INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS“in
“PRECAUTIONS & WARRANTY“. Here are some important guidelines you should consider:
• After installing the battery pack in the handset, you should charge your handset for
1155--2200hhoouurrssbbeeffoorreeuussiinnggtthheepphhoonnee. Once the handset battery pack is fully charged, connect
the telephone line cord to the base and telephone wall outlet.
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet which is not
switchable.
• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors and
fluorescent lighting.
• Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna to a vertical position.
