Installing the Rechargeable Battery Packs into the Handsets Each handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. Once installed, the battery charges automatically when the handset is placed in the base or charging cradle. To install the rechargeable battery pack: 1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove. 2) Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires) into the small jack inside the battery compartment.
Installing the Base Unit and Charging Cradle 1) Connect each AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to each standard 120V AC wall outlet. Note: • Use only the supplied AD-0001 AC adapter for the base unit and AD-310 or AD-1010 for the charging cradle. 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.
3) Make sure that the in use/ LED and LED illuminate. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and that the handset makes good contact with the cradle’s charging contacts. Note: • Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply (not controlled by a wall switch). • Place each cradle close to the AC outlet to avoid long extension cords. • Charge your handsets at least 15 - 20 hours before plugging into the phone line.
Mounting the Base Unit on a Wall Standard wall plate mounting This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate. 1) Plug the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack. 2) Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet. 3) Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack. 4) Route the telephone line cord through the groove as shown. 5) Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone outlet. 6) Align the mounting slots on the base with the mounting posts on the wall.
Direct wall mounting If you don’t have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following: • Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall. • Try to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive cord lengths. • Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.
Register Handsets to the Main Base before Using! Both handsets will need to be registered to the main base unit before use. Whichever handset you choose to charge in the base unit will automatically register to the base unit. The handset charging in the extra charging cradle MUST also be registered to the base unit before use. To register the extra handset: 1) Be sure both handsets are fully charged. 2) Pick up the handset from the charging cradle, and place it in the base unit.
