Important!Your telephone system must be programmed for Auto Preference for your 7$/. 
button to work. If there is a shared digital telephone, you receive internal system 
dial tone automatically after picking up the handset of your deskset. For example, 
in a DK424 system, Program 32 must have a setting other than “00.” It is best to 
set Auto Line Preference to access Intercom dial tone.
Step 1: Select Location
1. Select a location for your cordless digital telephone. Avoid excessive heat or humidity. 
2.Place the cordless digital telephone’s base unit on a desk or tabletop near a standard 120V 
AC outlet and within reach of the digital telephone line connection to your Strata DK 
system. 
3. Keep the base unit and handset away from sources of electrical noise (motors, fluorescent 
lighting, etc.).
Important!Place the cordless telephone to the right of the DKT. If placed on the left of the 
DKT, the cordless antenna picks up a tone due to its close proximity to the DKT 
speaker and electronic parts.
Step 2: Connect Telephone Cords
Your cordless digital telephone can be used as a stand-alone telephone or in conjunction with 
your deskset.
There are two telephone line jacks on the back of the base unit of your cordless digital 
telephone: “Line In” and “Line Out.” You can connect your cordless digital telephone to both 
the telephone line and a Strata DK digital telephone.

reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your facilities coordinator 
about replacing the obsolete plug. Do not alter the shape of the blades on the polarized 
plug.

Tips on Extending Battery Pack Life
Battery Memory Effect
All rechargeable nickel cadmium batteries can develop a “memory” (reduced charge capacity) 
caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. Batteries that have developed this effect do 
not operate to their fullest capacity.
äTo avoid memory effect
äOperate the unit until the battery pack is completely discharged before recharging. For 
example, use the handset off the base all day. Only replace the handset on the base at night 
after a full day of use. Do not “top off” the charge after using the battery for a short time.
äTo erase memory effect
äOperate the unit until the battery pack is completely discharged, then recharge it fully. 
Repeat this process at least three times.
LCD Low Battery Indicator
When the battery pack in the handset is low and needs to be charged 
you see this message on the display and the handset beeps.
 Low Battery Symptoms 
To restore your battery capacity, return the handset to the base unit for charging or replace the 
handset battery pack with another charged one.
On a CallIn Standby Mode
Only the 
7$/. key operates. None of the keys operate.
Handset beeps once every three seconds. Handset beeps once.
Complete your call as quickly as possible. Cannot make call.
Replace battery pack. Replace battery pack before making a call.
