2 Installation Installing the Battery Note: y The system will stop charging the battery when the ambient temperature is outside of the temperature range allowed for charging (14°F to 113°F). y When the power adapter is connected, the battery will automatically charge. y When fully charged, the battery will automatically stop charging. y Remove the battery if the device will be unused for a period exceeding 2 weeks. y The battery is intended for backup purposes only (in the event of a power failure).
Installing the Antenna Make sure the device is turned off. Align the antenna with the antenna port on the device as illustrated below.

Insert the power adapter into the DC input port, and plug the unit into an AC wall outlet.
Connecting the Device to a Telephone The device provides two telephone ports. The ports use the same telephone number. Plug one end of a telephone cable (RJ11) into a telephone port and the other end into the back of a home telephone or home telephone base unit. Do not plug Home Phone Connect into your telephone wall jack. This configuration is not supported unless you have taken steps to disconnect the landline wires coming into your home. Note: y The telephone cable is not included.
Mounting the Device Horizontal Mounting Place the device on a smooth surface with good ventilation. Place it at least 4 inches away from other objects. Vertical Mounting Fix two wall screws into the wall with the screw heads extending approximately 0.1 inches from the surface of the wall.

How do I check my voice messages? Dial * 8 6 to access your voice mail messages.
Can I use my telephone answering device instead of voice mail? Yes. Set the answering device to fewer rings in order to pick up the call before Verizon Wireless voice mail. Alternatively, turn off your home answering machine or increase the number of rings if you would like to use the Verizon Wireless voice mail service. Please refer to the user material provided by the Home Answering Machine manufacturer for instructions.
My Caller ID does not display the name of the incoming caller. The Home Phone Connect service is not currently compatible with calling name delivery. Caller name information will be displayed if the incoming caller's contact information is saved in your home phone address book. The volume is too loud. You can adjust the volume using your telephone connected to the Home Phone Connect device. Four volume levels are available, with level 1 being the softest and level 4 the loudest.
