with the clarity of digital sound, extended range, and minimal interference from other
cordless phones.

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 36.

GETTING STARTED
GETTING STARTED [7]
• After installing the battery pack in the handset, charge your handset at
least 1155hhoouurrssbbeeffoorreeuussiinnggtthheepphhoonnee. 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.
CCoonnnneecctttthheebbaasseeuunniitt
1 Connect the telephone line cord
to the TTEELLLLIINNEEjack and to a
telephone outlet.
2 Connect the AC adapter to the
DDCCIINN99VVjack and to a standard
120V AC wall outlet.
3 Set the base unit on a desk or tabletop and place the
handset on the base unit as shown.
Then raise the antenna to a vertical position.
Place the power cord so it
does not create a trip
hazard or where it could
become chafed and
create a fire or
electrical hazard.
TRU346 8/9/00 12:36 Page 7

GETTING STARTED[8]
Use only the supplied AD-311 AC adapter. Do not use any other
AC adapter.
Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply.
Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the
AC adapter easily.
If your telephone outlet isn´t modular,
contact your telephone company for assistance.
