1Choose a spot near an electrical outlet and a telephone jack.

This phone requires a modular telephone jack and a standard electrical outlet (110v AC) not controlled by a wall switch. For better range coverage, install the phone on the the upper-most level of your home.

BATTERIES.)

•Remove the battery cover by pressing on the indentation and sliding downward.

•Place the new battery pack in the compartment. Make sure the metal contacts on the end of the battery are aligned with the charging contacts in the battery compartment.

•Replace the battery cover by sliding it on its track up over the battery compartment until it snaps firmly into place.

NOTE: Connect power to the base unit before placing the handset in the cradle.
