							6Getting started1. Getting startedWARNING
Do not place your phone in the bathroom or other humid 
areas.LocationWhen choosing a location for your new phone, here are 
some important guidelines you should consider:
•  Avoid sources of noise and heat, such as motors, 
fluorescent lighting, microwave ovens, heating 
appliances and direct sunlight.
•  Avoid areas of excessive dust, moisture and low 
temperature.
•  Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.
•  Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
•  Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the 
jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
•  Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals 
unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the 
network interface.
•  Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.HANDSET RANGE
Optimal range is reached when there are no other electrical 
appliances working within the range area. Any obstruction 
between the base and handset will also reduce the range 
significantly.
SIGNAL STRENGTH
When out of range of the base, the screen shows 
SEARCHING...
. 
If you are on a call, the line will hang up. Move back within in 
range. The handset will automatically re-connect to the base.
Setting upIMPORTANT
The base must be plugged into the electrical outlet at all 
times. Do not connect the telephone line cord into the wall 
jack until the handset is fully charged. Only use the power 
adapter and telephone line cord supplied with the product.
WHICH POWER ADAPTER
The power adapter with the smaller pin is for the base unit 
and the power adapter with the bigger pin is for the charger 
unit (for multi-pack only).  
						

							Getting started7Connecting the base1.
Plug the power adapter with smaller pin plug & 
telephone line cord into the base. Power adapter with 
bigger pin plug is for charger (for multi-pack only).
2.
Plug the other end of the power adapter & telephone 
line cord into the wall jack.
3.
Always use the telephone line cord provided in the box.
4.
Use only the provided power adapter.
Install and charge the handset battery pack1.
Slide out the battery compartment cover.
2.
Place the supplied rechargeable battery pack in the 
battery compartment, with the battery connector 
plugged in, as shown.
3.
Slide the battery compartment cover back.
4.
Put the handset on the base to charge for at least 24 
hours. When the handset is fully charged the   will 
indicate that it is fully charged.
5.
Use only the rechargeable battery pack provided. 
						

							8Getting started BATTERY LOW WARNING
If the   flashes in the display, you will need to recharge the 
handset before you can use it again. During charging, the   
will scroll in the display.
BATTERY PERFORMANCE
In ideal conditions, a fully charged battery pack should give 
up to 12 hours talk time or up to 18 hours standby time on a 
single charge.
Note that new battery packs do not reach full capacity until 
they have been in normal use for several days.
To keep your battery packs in the best condition, leave the 
handset off the base for a few hours at a time.
Running the battery packs all the way down at least once a 
week will help them last as long as possible.
The charge capacity of rechargeable battery packs will 
reduce with time as they wear out, giving the handset less 
talk/standby time. Eventually they will need to be replaced.
After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent 
charging time is about 6-8 hours a day. The battery pack and 
handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.
