the cursor (or highlighted area) on the display and access the most
commonly used features at the touch of a button. By moving this

Installing the Phone
Choosing the Best Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are
some important guidelines you should consider:
The location should be close to both a phone jack
and a continuous power outlet (one which is not con-
nected to a switch).
The base and handset should be kept away from
sources of electrical noise such as motors, micro-
wave ovens, and uorescent lighting.
For better reception, place the base as high as pos-
sible.
The base should be placed in an open area for opti-
mum range and reception.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment
connected to a phone line, be sure that installing
the system does not disable your alarm equipment.
If you have questions about what will disable alarm
equipment, contact your telephone company or a
qualied installer.
Note: For maximum range:
Keep the antenna free of obstruction.
When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position.
Do not hold the handset where you would block the signal.
Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance.

Connecting the Base and Charging the Handset
Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack.
Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply (i.e., an outlet that is not controlled by a switch).
Close the handset and place it in the base with the LCD screen facing forward.
Make sure that the charge/in use LED illuminates. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC
adapter is plugged in and the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts.
Charge your handset at least 15-20 hours before plugging into the phone line.

Installing the Belt Clip
Line up the holes on each side of the handset. To attach the belt clip, insert into the holes on
each side of the handset. Press down until it clicks.
To remove the belt clip, pull either side of the belt clip to release the tabs from the holes.
Connecting to the Phone Line
Once the handset battery pack is fully charged, connect the
telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack and to a telephone
outlet.
Testing the connection
To test your connection, try making a call. If your call connects, the settings are ne. If your call does not connect,
check the following:
Check the AC adapter cord. Make sure it is securely connected to the DC IN connector and to a standard AC
power outlet.
Check to make sure the battery is fully charged. (If you don’t see the “battery full” icon, check to make sure
the battery is properly connected.)

Changing the Dial Mode
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dial-
ing or pulse dialing. These days, most phone networks use a method called tone dialing,
so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing. If your phone company uses Pulse
dialing, you will need to change your phone’s dial mode. If you cannot connect to the tele-
phone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:
Press the MENU soft key. Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the DIAL MODE submenu.
Scroll [ ] to select PULSE. (The initial setting is Tone).
Press the OK soft key. You will hear a conrmation tone.
If you ever need to change the dial mode back to Tone, follow the same procedure, but select TONE in step 2.
