This cordless telephone must be set up before use. Follow these steps:
AAbboouutttthheeddiiggiittaallsseeccuurriittyyccooddee
This cordless telephone uses a
digital security code to prevent
unauthorized access to your
base unit. This security 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 31.

Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
included in the PRECAUTIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS brochure. Here are
some important guidelines you should consider:
•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,
microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
•Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna to a vertical position.
•The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.
•If your second phone line has a separate modular jack, place your phone so you can
access both jacks.

1) Press in on the battery cover release and slide the cover
down until it comes off.
2) Connect the battery pack connector observing correct
polarity (black and red wires) to the jack inside the
battery compartment.
Do not exert any force on this connection. It could

connector will fit together only one way. Once you are
certain that you have made a good connection, then
insert the battery pack into the battery compartment.
Do not pinch the wires.
3) Securely close the battery compartment cover by sliding it
up until it snaps into place.
4) Place the handset in the base unit.
