Getting Started

To set up your Motorola digital cordless phone system:

1.Install optional backup batteries in the base station and plug into a power outlet (page 14).

2.Plug in charging bases for expansion handsets (page 15).

3.Install batteries in handsets (page 15).

4.Charge handset batteries (page 16).

A rechargeable NiCd battery powers each handset. Charge the battery for about 12 hours before initial use.

5.Connect the base station to the phone line (page 16).

6.Register expansion handsets to the base station (page 21).

Handsets that come with your phone system are already registered to the base.

7.Set the ring tone, date, time, and other features of your handset(s) and base station (page 22).

Place the Base Station:

•Away from electrical appliances such as a TV, personal computer, or another cordless phone.

•In a high and central location with no obstructions, such as walls.

If you hear noise while using the handset near a microwave or another cordless phone’s base unit, move away from the microwave or base unit and closer to your handset’s base station.
