For more details, see the Important Information section.

GETTING STARTED Installing Your Phone

Charge the Battery

1. Unpack all handsets,

battery packs, and battery covers. If you need to remove

a cover, press in on the notch and slide the cover down and off.

1. Line up the battery connector with the jack inside the handset; the connector only fits one way.

2. Push the connector in until it clicks into place; tug gently on the wires to make sure the battery is securely connected.

3. Replace the battery cover and slide it into place.

4. Use an AC adapter to connect the power jack on the base to

a regular indoor (120V AC) power outlet. Connect any chargers the same way.

1. Place a handset in the base with the display facing forward. If the display doesn't light up, reseat the handset or connect the base to a different outlet. For 2 or more handsets, place each handset in a charger.

Charge all handsets completely (about 15 hours) before using.

Connect the Telephone Cord

Use the telephone cord to connect the TEL LINE jack on the base to a standard telephone wall jack.

Test the Connection

1. Pick up the handset and press TALK. The handset sounds a dial tone, and the display shows Talk.

- If you don't hear a dial tone or the display says Check Tel Line, check the connection between the base and the phone jack.

1. Make a quick test call. (Press END to hang up.)

2. If you keep hearing a dial tone, change to pulse dialing.

3. If there's a lot of noise, check for interference (see p. 22).

4. Test all handsets the same way. If you can't get a dial tone, move the handset closer to the base.

Changing to Pulse Dialing

Your phone uses tone dialing by default. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you need to change your phone's dial mode.

1. Press MENU/SELECT and choose Global Setup.
2. Select Dial Mode then Pulse. You'll hear a confirmation tone.
   To send DTMF tones during a call (e.g., for an automated response system), press * to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When you hang up, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing.

Attaching the Belt Clip

Line up the holes on each side of the handset. Insert the belt clip 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.

Installing a Line Filter or DSL Filter

A telephone line filter or DSL filter prevents services that use the phone line from causing interference on your phone. To get a line filter, contact your service provider or look in an electronics store.

Plug the filter into the telephone wall jack and plug the base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.

Liquid Damage

CAUTION: If the base is covered in liquid, disconnect the adapter & phone cord from the wall before touching it.

If the liquid is only on the exterior housing of the base or handset, wipe it off and use as normal. If you can hear liquid inside the housing:

1. Remove all compartment covers, and disconnect all cables and cords.

2. If liquid is leaking from any vent or hole, turn the phone so that vent faces down. If not, place the largest vent face down.

3. Let dry for at least 3 days. Check for liquid inside the phone before replacing compartment covers & reconnecting cords.

Resetting Handsets

If you have trouble with a handset or if you want to replace one, clear the registration information from the base and the handset:

1. Press & hold END and # at the same time until you see the System Reset menu.
2. If you still have the base the handset is registered to, select Deregister HS, then select the handset you want to reset. If you don't have that base anymore, select Base Unavailable.
3. To confirm, select Yes. The handset displays Handset not registered.

Registering Handsets

If you see a “not registered” message on a handset, you must register it to a base before using it.

1. Place the handset in the base; the display should say Handset Registering.
2. Wait until the display says Registration Complete (about

30 seconds), then pick up the handset; press TALK.

If you don't hear a dial tone or the display says Registration Failed, charge the battery completely, then try again.
