Charging the Battery

The rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride battery must be fully charged before using the phone for the first time. It is recommended that the battery pack be charged overnight (or for at least 12 hours) without interruption before the first use. To charge the battery, place the handset, keypad down, in the base unit. Ensure that the “CHARGE” LED on the base illuminates. If the LED does not light, check the following:

a)Ensure that the AC adapter is plugged into a working unswitched AC outlet.

b)Ensure that the contacts on the bottom of the handset bottom are making good contact with the base unit charging contacts.

CLEANING THE BATTERY CONTACTS

To maintain the handset in fully-charged condition, it is important to clean all charging con- tacts on the handset and base unit. Use a pencil eraser or other contact cleaner. Do not use any liquids or solvents to clean these contacts.

ADJUSTING THE BASE RING VOLUME

To adjust the ringer volume of the base unit, locate the respective “Line Ringing Volume” adjustment control on the back of the telephone labeled “RINGER LOW/HI.” Slide the switch to the desired setting.

ADJUSTING THE HANDSET RING VOLUME

The handset ring volume can be adjusted by pressing the volume “UP” and “DOWN” keys on the handset during the ringing or idle mode.

ADJUSTING SPEAKERPHONE VOLUME

To adjust the speakerphone volume, press the volume “UP” and “DOWN” keys on the base unit. Press volume “UP” key to increase the volume level. Press the volume “DOWN” key to decrease volume level.

ADJUSTING HANDSET RECEIVE VOLUME

To adjust the handset receiver volume, press volume “UP” and “DOWN” keys on the hand- set while the handset is on line. Volume control is also available during mute.

LIGHTED KEYPADS

The keypad on the handset will illuminate if one of the keys is pressed. It will turn off after a few seconds. If the “ON” key is pressed, the keypad will illuminate and then go off after a few seconds, except the “ON” key. This is to indicate that the phone handset is on. The light will turn off when the “OFF” key is pressed.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR

When the handset battery level is low, the LED indicator will blink when the phone is not in use. When the phone is in use, the LED will blink and the handset will emit a beep tone.

Return the handset to the base cradle for recharging as soon as is practical.
