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 prevent unauthorized
calls as a result of your phone being activated by other equipment.

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 40.
SStteepp11((ppaaggee77))
Unpack the telephone and accessories.
SStteepp22((ppaaggee88ttoo99))
Next, choose the best location to
set up the base unit.
SStteepp33((ppaaggee1100ttoo1111))
Then, insert the battery pack into the
handset. You must charge the battery pack
for 1155hhoouurrssbbeeffoorreeuussiinnggtthheepphhoonnee.
SStteepp44((ppaaggee1122ttoo1133))

CChhoooosseetthheebbeessttllooccaattiioonn
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:
• After installing the battery pack in the handset, you should charge your handset for 1155hhoouurrss
bbeeffoorreeuussiinnggtthheepphhoonnee. Once the handset battery pack is fully charged, you may 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.
