This series features AutoTalkand AutoStandby. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just removing
the handset from the cradle so you don't have to waste time pushing buttons. AutoStandby allows you to
hang up by simply returning the handset to the cradle.
To protect you against mis-billed calls that might result from your phone being activated by other
equipment, this series has Random Codedigital security, which automatically selects one of about
130,000 digital security codes for the handset and base.
Digital Spread Spectrum Technology uses a wider frequency band than standard digital transmissions. The
result is a more secure conversation with the clarity of digital sound, extended range, and minimal
interference from other cordless phones.
IntegriSoundBuilt in sound quality which provides life-like conversations.
With DirectLinkmode, you can use two or more handsets as radio transceivers (walkie-talkies).

automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit.

finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover
downward to remove.
2) Plug the battery connector (red & black wires) into the
jack inside the battery compartment. (The connector
notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one way).
Match the wire colors to the polarity label in the
battery compartment, connect the battery and listen for
a click to insure connection.
3) Make sure you have a good connection by gently pulling
on the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the
battery jack will remain in place.
4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset and
slide it upwards until it clicks into place.

outlet that is not controlled by a
switch).
• Place the base unit close to the
AC outlet to avoid long extension cords.
2) Place the handset in the base unit with the keypad facing forward.
3) Make sure that the charge 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.
4) Charge your handset at least 15-20 hours before
plugging into the phone line.
5) Once the handset battery pack is fully charged,
connect the telephone line cords to the TEL LINE
jack and to a telephone outlets.
If your telephone outlet isn't modular,
contact your telephone company for
assistance.
•Use only the supplied
AD-800 AC adapter.
Do not use any other
AC adapter.
•Do not place the power
cord where it creates a
trip hazard or where it
could become chafed
and create a fire or
electrical hazard.
