A.Choose the best location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS.

Here are some important guidelines you should consider:

Avoid heat sources, such as radiators, air ducts, and sunlight

Avoid television sets and other electronic equipment

Choose a central location

Avoid noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy traffic

Avoid microwave ovens

Avoid excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock

Avoid personal computers

Avoid other cordless telephones

The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet which is not switchable.

Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors and fluorescent lighting.

The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.

B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset

The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery recharges automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit.

Charge the handset battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before using your new cordless telephone for the first time! To maximize the charge capacity of your battery pack, DO NOT plug the telephone cord into the base unit and wall jack until the battery is fully charged.

NOTE: If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable your alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.

1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.

2)Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires) into the jack inside the battery compartment (the connector notches fit into the

grooves of the jack only one-way). Match the wire colors to the polarity label in the battery compartment, connect the battery and listen for a click to insure connection.

3) Before replacing the battery cover, make certain the battery pack is

securely connected by slightly pulling on the battery wires. Then place the battery case cover back on the handset by sliding it upwards until it clicks into place.
