Setting up
Follow these simple steps to prepare your
phone for use.
Finding a location
• The location should be close to both a phone
jack and a continuous power outlet (one which
is not connected to a switch).
• The base and handset should be kept away
from sources of electrical noise such as motors,
microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
• For better reception, place the base as high as
possible.
• The base should be placed in an open area for
optimum range and reception.
• If your home has wired alarm equipment
connected to a phone line, be sure that
installing the system does not disable your
alarm equipment. If you have questions about
what will disable alarm equipment, contact your
telephone company or a qualified installer.
Connecting your phone
1 Connect the base power supply to the back of
the base. Plug the other end into the wall
electrical outlet.
WARNING
Use only the power supply that came with your
phone.
Using another power supply could seriously
damage your phone and invalidate your
warranty.
Do not connect the telephone line cord until
your handset is fully charged. This will prevent
the risk of the phone being answered before the
battery pack is charged. Answering the phone
before the battery pack is fully charged may
prevent them from reaching their optimum
capacity.
2 If you have purchased a model containing
multiple handsets and chargers, connect each
charger's power supply to the charger base and
plug into a wall electrical outlet.
