Check box contents

If you have purchased a PowerTel 2880 pack you should have:

• 1 corded phone (base)
- 1 receiver
- 1 receiver cord
• 1 AC power adaptor for corded phone
• 1 cordless handset
• 3 AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries
• 1 battery compartment cover
- 1 charger
• 1 AC power adaptor for charger
• 1 telephone line cord

Important: Use only the power adaptors, telephone line cord and batteries supplied with your PowerTel 2880, otherwise your phone may not work.

Set up your phone system

Location

Place the base unit (corded phone) near a mains socket and a telephone wall jack to ensure that the connection cables are long enough. Keep the unit approx. 1 m away from other electronic devices to prevent interference. The corded phone uses radio signals to connect with the cordless handset. Signal

strength depends on the base unit's location. The maximum range is 300 m based on an unobstructed line of sight; the range is shorter inside buildings because of walls and other obstacles.

Connect the base unit

1. Plug the connector on the cable end into the corresponding jack on the underside of the base and plug the power adaptor into the wall socket.
2. Plug the small connector on the end of the telephone line cord into the corresponding jack on the base and plug the other end into the telephone jack.
3. Connect the receiver with the telephone using the coiled receiver cord.

Note: Guide the connection cables through the strain-relief tabs on the base so the unit sits flush with the desk.

For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet (power adaptor) shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

Important: Use only the power adaptors, telephone line cord and batteries supplied with your PowerTel 2880, otherwise your phone may not work.

Do not block access to the wall power supply with furniture or other items.

Connect the cordless handset

1. Open the battery compartment and insert the batteries. Pay attention to the correct polarity.
2. Slide the battery compartment cover towards the centre of the handset until it clicks into place.

For a full charge, the handset must be left in the charger for at least 16 hours (check the charger's power supply!).

Important: Use only the batteries supplied with this product. If the batteries need to be replaced later on the same battery type must be used.

Connect the Charger

1. Plug the connector on the cable end into the jack on the underside of the charger and plug the power adaptor into the wall socket.

1. Place the handset in the handset charger to charge.

Note: Guide the power cord through the strain-relief tabs on the base so the unit sits flush with the desk.

For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet (power adaptor) shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

Backup battery installation

Install three AAA non-rechargeable batteries (not supplied) so that your telephone can still operate in the event of a mains power failure.

WARNING: Disconnect the telephone line cord from the base when replacing back-up batteries.

1. Press the large tab on the backup battery compartment cover. Then pull to open.
2. Place three AAA batteries into the compartment, matching the polarity engravings.

1. Replace the backup battery compartment cover. Push the large tab until it locks securely.

Note: Under normal usage conditions, the three AAA non-rechargeable batteries should last approximately 6 months. Battery life depends on the frequency and duration of mains power failures.

Wall mount installation

To mount the base unit (corded phone) on the wall you need 2 dowels and 2 suitable screws, preferably fillister-head screws, dia. 4 mm. Fasten the screws 83 mm apart one below the other in a vertical line so that the screw heads are about 3 mm from the wall.

CAUTION: Know where your electrical wires and water pipes are located before drilling!

1. Unplug the power adaptor cord and the telephone line cord from the base.
2. Remove the retainer from the handset cradle, turn it 180° and reinsert it in the cradle.

1. Grasp and squeeze the tabs as indicated by the arrows to open the hinged bracket. Route the telephone line cord and the power adaptor cord through the hole of the wall mount bracket. Push the end of the telephone line cord into the telephone jack and push the connector of the power adaptor into the power cord jack on the underside of the phone.

1. Rotate the wall mount bracket and lock it into wall mount position. Route the telephone line cord and power adaptor cord through the slot on the bottom of the telephone base. Bundle the telephone line cord and the power adaptor cord with twist ties.

1. Plug the power adaptor and the telephone line cord back into their sockets.

2. Position the telephone over the screw heads and push down lightly until it is firmly seated.

1. Place the receiver in the telephone base. Rotate the top of the display up or down to adjust the screen angle for maximum visibility.
