Setting up the Phone Do the following steps: A. Choose the best location C. Connect the base unit and charging cradle B. Install the rechargeable battery packs into both handsets If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable your alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer. A.
Both handsets are powered by rechargeable battery packs. The battery recharges automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit or charging cradle. Charge the handset battery packs for at least 15-20 hours before using your new cordless telephone for the first time! To maximize the charge capacity of your battery pack, DO NOT plug the telephone cord into the base unit and wall jack until the battery is fully charged.
4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset by sliding it upwards until it clicks into place. 5) Place one handset in the base unit and one handset in the charging cradle for 15-20 hours without interruption. The base or charging cradle unit’s LED light (labeled charge/in use or charge) illuminates once the handset is placed in the base or charging cradle. The LED light will illuminate whether the battery pack is connected or not.
When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. If the phone is not in use, “ Low Battery“ appears on the LCD and none of the keys will operate. If the phone is in use, “ Low Battery“ flashes and the handset beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to either charging cradle for charging.
C. Connect 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. Place the handset in the base or charging cradle with the keypad facing forward for charging. Route the cord. 2) Set the base and charging cradle on a desk or tabletop, and place one handset in the base unit and one in the charging cradle. 3) Raise the base antenna to a vertical position. 4) Make sure that the charge/in use and charge LED illuminate.
When the dual handsets are removed from the packaging, the handset that is placed in the base unit first (to charge battery for 15-20 hours), will automatically be registered to the base unit. (It does not matter which handset you choose to place in the base unit first.) You will also need to register the second handset by placing it in the base cradle. The second handset WILL NOT operate properly until the registration has been completed. Once the handset is registered, it is ready for use.
When to Re-register Handsets • If the second handset’s battery becomes very low, the handset must be recharged for 15-20 hours and re-registered to the base unit. • Make sure to return the handsets to the charging cradles after each phone call. • Call transfer allows you to transfer outside calls from handset to handset, only one handset at a time can talk with an outside caller. • If you transfer the call and it is not picked up after 5 minutes, the call will be disconnected.
Standard wall plate mounting This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate. 1) Plug the AC adapter into the DC IN 9V jack. 2) Wrap the AC adapter cord inside the molded wiring channel as shown.
