3)Set the base on a desk or tabletop, and place the handset in the base unit as shown.

4)Make sure the charge LED illuminates. If the LED does

not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and that the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts.

• Use only the supplied AD-830 AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter.

• Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply.

• Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC adapter easily.

•While charging, all handset keys will be disabled.

•After installing the batteries in the handset, charge your handset at least 17-20 hours before plugging into the phone line.

5) Once the handset batteries are fully charged, connect the telephone line cord to the

TEL LINE jack and to a telephone outlet.

If your telephone outlet isn't modular type, contact your telephone company for assistance.

D. Choose the dialing mode

Most phone systems use tone dialing, which sends DTMF tones through the phone lines. However some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as in rural areas. The default setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system, set the dial mode. To set the dial mode, see “Setting the Dial Mode” on page 30.

•If you are not sure of your dialing system, set the unit to tone dialing. Make a trial call. If the call connects, leave the setting as is, otherwise set the unit to pulse dialing.

• If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones in certain situations during a call, you may “switch-over” to tone dialing. (Refer to “Tone Dialing Switch-over” on page 35.)

Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.
