Getting Started

Base Station Installation

There are three possible base station setups:

zBase station alone

zBase station plus telephone answering device

zBase station plus standard telephone

For best performance, maintain at least a distance of 1 meter (about 3 feet) between the base station and other electronic devices (e.g., TV, computer, stereo, fax machine, answer machine, cordless phone, etc.)

1.Install base station antenna.

The base station’s antenna port has a reverse-thread connector; to install antenna or cable, turn counter- clockwise; to remove, turn clockwise. Improper installation may damage the connector.

2.Plug the transformer end of the base station AC/DC adaptor into a standard AC electrical power outlet, plug the other end into the “DC In” jack on the back of the base station.

a.The base adaptor’s DC plug is larger in dimension than the charger’s DC plug. The charger adaptor’s DC plug will not fit into the base’s DC In jack.

b.The base station’s power supply (DC Adaptor) and telephone line should be plugged into a surge protector with phone line protection.

3.Plug phone cord into the “LINE” Jack

4.A standard telephone or answering machine can be plugged into the adjacent receptacle on the bottom of the base station marked TEL

5.To use the Music/Message-On-Hold feature: Connect one end of a

standard audio cable into a radio or audio player, and plug the other (3.5 mm) end into the MOH jack on back of the base.

Handset and Charger Installation

1.Plug the transformer end of the Charger AC/DC adaptor into a standard AC electric power outlet, plug the other end into the “DC In” jack on the back of the Charger.

2.Install battery pack onto the handset.

3.Install handset antenna.

4.Place handset onto the charger front slot.

5.The phone system is now ready to perform basic functions such as making and receiving phone calls and intercom calls. No base station or handset programming is needed for basic operations.

6.Charging cradle may be wall mounted, but an “L” bracket should be used for support under the cradle to avoid breaking mounting slots. An “L” bracket is not included, but can be purchased from a local home center.

Note:

1.Handset(s) packaged along with a Base Station are pre- registered at the factory. If you have a new handset, you will need to register the handset with the base station in order to be recognized as a member handset by the base(s) and by other handsets. See Handset Registration.

2.Fully charge battery packs before the first usage.
