GETTING STARTED  
Installing Your Phone  
Charge the Baꢀery  
1. Unpack all handsets, battery packs,  
and battery covers. If you need to  
remove a battery cover, press in on  
the notch and slide the cover down  
and off.  
2. Line up the battery connector with the jack inside the handset.  
(The battery connector will only fit one way.)  
ꢀ. Push the connector in until it clicks into place; tug gently on the  
wires to make sure the battery pack is securely connected.  
4. Replace the battery cover and slide it into place.  
ꢁ. Connect the AC adapters to the  
jacks on the base and on  
AC IN 8V  
each charger. Set the plugs into the notches.  
ꢂ. Plug the other end of the adapters into standard 120V AC outlets.  
7. Place one handset in the base and the other(s) in the charger(s)  
with the displays facing forward. The display on each handset  
should light up; if it doesn’t, reseat the handset or try plugging the  
AC adapter into a different outlet.  
 
 
Charge all handsets completely (about 15 hours) before using  
them.  
Connect the Telephone Cord  
Use the telephone cord to connect the  
standard telephone wall jack.  
jack on the base to a  
TEL LINE  
Test the Connecꢁon  
1. Pick up the handset from the cradle and press Talk. You should  
hear a dial tone, and the display should say Talk.  
If you don't hear a dial tone or the display says Check Tel Line, try  
checking the connection between the base and the phone jack.  
2. Make a quick test call. (Press End to hang up.)  
If you keep hearing a dial tone, try changing to pulse dialing mode.  
If there is a lot of noise, see page 21 for tips on avoiding  
interference.  
ꢀ. Test all your handsets the same way. If you can't get a dial tone, try  
moving the handset closer to the base.  
Changing from Tone to Pulse Dialing  
Your phone communicates with the telephone network in two ways:  
tone dialing or pulse dialing. Most telephone companies use tone  
dialing. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to  
change your phone’s dial mode.  
1. From a handset, open the menu and select Global Setup. (See page  
8 for details on using the menu.)  
2. Select Dial Mode, then select Pulse. The phone sounds a  
confirmation tone.  
If you use pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones during a call  
(if you're using an automated response system, for example), press  
to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When the call ends, the phone  
*
automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.

Weak or Hard To Hear Audio  
If a caller’s voice sounds weak or  
soft, the signal might be blocked  
by large metal objects or walls;  
you might also be too far from  
the base, or the handset’s battery  
may be weak.  
Do you use a T-Coil hearing aid?  
If you have a hearing aid equipped  
with a telecoil (T-coil) feature, the  
interacꢁon between the hearing aid  
& digital cordless phones can cause  
noise in the handset. If you have a T-  
coil hearing aid & you have problems  
with noise on the line, try turning on  
T-coil mode. Open the menu. Select  
Try moving around while  
you’re on a call or moving  
closer to the base to see if the  
sound gets louder.  
Handset Setup, then select T-coil  
Using T-coil mode can shorten the  
handset’s talk ꢁme; make sure to  
watch the baꢃery status and keep  
the baꢃery charged.  
.
Make sure the handset’s  
battery is fully charged.  
Try adjusting the earpiece  
volume.

ꢂoise or Staꢁc on the Line  
Interference is the most common cause of noise or static on a cordless  
phone. Here are some common sources of interference:  
electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens  
computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment and DSL  
modems  
radio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless  
controllers, or wireless headphones or speakers  
fluorescent light fixtures (especially if giving off a buzzing noise)  
other services that use your phone line, like alarm systems,  
intercom systems, or broadband Internet service  
If static is on 1 handset or in 1  
location:  
If static is on all handsets or in all  
locations:  
- Check nearby for one of the  
common interference sources.  
- Check near the base for the  
source of interference.  
- Try moving the handset away  
from a suspected source, or try  
moving the suspected source so  
it’s not between the handset and  
the base.  
- There is always more noise at  
the edges of the base's range.  
If an Out of Range message  
displays, try moving closer to the  
base.  
- Try moving the base away  
from a suspected source, or  
turn off the source if possible.  
- If the base has an adjustable  
antenna, try raising the  
antenna so it stands straight  
up.  
- If you have any service that  
uses the phone line, you might  
need a filter (see below).  
Installing a Line Filter or DSL Filter  
Sometimes, broadband Internet services that use the telephone line  
can interfere with phones. One of these services−DSL−often causes  
static on telephones. A DSL filter or telephone line filter usually solves  
this problem. The technician who installed your DSL service might  
have left some filters for you; if not, call your DSL provider or look in  
any electronics store.  
22  
 
 
Plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and plug your phone’s  
base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.  
Liquid Damage  
Moisture and liquid can damage your cordless phone.  
If the exterior housing of the handset or base is exposed to moisture  
or liquid, wipe off the liquid, and use as normal.  
If moisture or liquid is inside the plastic housing (i.e. liquid can  
be heard in the phone or liquid has entered the handset battery  
compartment or vent openings on the base), follow these steps:  
Handset  
Base  
1. Disconnect the AC  
adapter to cut off  
the power.  
1. Remove the battery cover and disconnect  
the battery.  
2. Let dry for at least 3 days with the battery  
disconnected and the cover off.  
3. After the handset dries, reconnect the  
battery and replace the cover. Recharge the  
battery fully (15-20 hours) before using.  
2. Disconnect the  
telephone cord.  
3. Let dry for at least  
3 days before  
reconnecting.  
CAUTION! DO NOT use a microwave oven to speed up the  
drying process. This will cause permanent damage to the  
handset, base and the microwave oven.  
AC Adapter and Baꢃery Informaꢀon  
Use only the supplied AC adapters. Be sure to use the proper adapter for the  
base & any chargers.  
Do not place the power cord where it creates a trip hazard or where it could  
become chafed and create a

return the handset to the cradle aſter  
each call to keep it fully charged.  
When the baꢃery gets too low, the  
handset shows a low baꢃery alert. If  
you hear a strange beep during a call,  
check the display: if you see the low  
baꢃery alert, ꢂnish your conversaꢁon  
as quickly as possible and return the  
handset to the cradle. If the handset  
is in standby, none of the keys will  
operate.  
With normal use, the baꢃery should  
last about one year. Replace the bat-  
tery when the talk ꢁme becomes short  
even when the baꢃery is charged. To  
buy a replacement baꢃery, call the
