INSTALLATION (CONT.)
Wall Mounting
The GH3012 may be mounted on a wall phone plate or onto two screws (not included)
that you fasten to the wall. For either type of installation, complete the following steps
first.
1. In case of using the standard wall plate, this step is not necessary.
Place the Desk/Wall bracket on the wall and mark the location of the screws. Install
the screws leaving 3/16” extending out from the wall. Use anchors to secure
screws.
2. To connect the Desk/Wall bracket in the wall mount position, simply align the
bracket with the slots on the base until it is securely in place.
3. Insert the AC adaptor into the back of the unit.
4. Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack on the Base unit.
5. Thread the adaptor cord and telephone line cord through the grooves in the back
of the unit. The cord will exit from the bottom.
DO NOT CONNECT THE AC ADAPTOR TO THE WALL POWER OUTLET YET.
6. Plug the other end of the line cord into the wall jack.
7. Mount the phone on the wallplate studs or on the screws as in step 1, and press
until the unit locks in place.
8. Plug the AC adaptor into the power outlet.
INSTALLATION (CONT.)
Handset Battery Charging:
The battery pack in the handset must be fully charged for about 10-14 hours before
using the telephone.
After connecting to AC power, leave the handset unused in the cradle for ten to
fourteen hours. Later, it will take less time for the battery to recharge. The IN
USE/CHARGE LED on the base will be lit when the handset is in the cradle.
NOTE:
a. When the battery gets low, the LCD display will show “BATTERY LOW”, and the
unit will beep every 10 seconds.
b. If the battery becomes low while you are on a call, you will be disconnected after
about 3 minutes. Terminate the call quickly, and put the handset in the base to
recharge the battery.
c. The battery will hold its charge for several days out of the cradle, depending on use.
NOTE:
The handset will not ring when the ringer is in the “OFF” position. If the handset is out
of the cradle, the LCD display will show “RINGING” during an incoming call.
To Replace Batteries:
1. Remove battery cover.
2. Remove old battery.
3. Plug the cord of the battery pack into the handset and place
the battery in the case.
4. Slide battery cover until it clicks in place. Charge 10-14 hours
before first use.
To maximize your battery’s life, we recommend that you periodically fully discharge the
battery, and then recharge it. To do this, unplug your phone line cord from the wall
phone jack. Press the TALK button, and allow the handset to remain on for 10 to 12
hours. Reconnect the phone cord to the wall phone jack. Return the handset to the
base and allow it to fully charge for 12 hours. If this process is completed monthly, it
will reduce the memory buildup that occurs from frequent partial charging.
