Read This First
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((ppaaggee55))
Unpack the telephone and accessories.
SStteepp22((ppaaggee66))
Next, choose the best location
to set up the base unit.
SStteepp33((ppaaggee77ttoo1100))
Then, insert the battery pack into
the handset. Connect the base unit.

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 or tabletop.
•If your second phone line has a separate modular jack, place your phone so you can
access both jacks.

replacement of the
battery pack within
30 seconds, and you

Most phone systems use tone dialing which sends DTMF tones through the phone
lines. However some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as in rural areas.
The default setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system, set the
mode as follows:
1) Press and hold flash on the base until you hear a confirmation tone.
2) To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press #.
Or to set the dial mode for tone dialing, press */tone. A confirmation tone
sounds to indicate the setting is complete.
• If you aren´t sure of your dialing system, make a trial call.
If the call connects, leave the setting as is; otherwise, set for pulse dialing.
• If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones for
certain situations during a call, you may ”switch-over” to tone dialing. (Refer to
” Tone Dialing Switch-over” on page 16.)

Tone Dialing Switch-over
Some telephone companies use equipment that require pulse
dialing (sometimes referred to as rotary dialing). If you
need to enter tone dialing digits, you can switch-over to tone
dialing during the call. An example of this could be entering your bank account
number after you have called your bank. The digits of your bank account can be
entered using DTMF tones.
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects,
press */
tt
/tone for the handset, or */tone for the base. Enter the desired number
(like in example above the bank account number). These digits will be sent as
tone dialing. This special number can be stored in a memory location. This is
referred to as Chain Dialing (See page 31). Once the call ends, the tone mode
is canceled and pulse dialing mode resumes.
