Cordless Telephone Operation

Preparing for Use

Before you can use your cordless telephone, you must charge the HANDSET for 12 hours. Failure to do so will require recharging of the BATTERY PACK more often.

1.Place the HANDSET on the BASE UNIT/CHARGER UNIT for 12 hours.

2.After 12 hours, remove the HANDSET from the BASE UNIT/CHARGER UNIT.

Before you can use your cordless telephone, you must charge the HANDSET for 12 hours. Failure to do so will require more frequent charging of the BATTERY PACK.

NOTE: Depending on the frequency of use, once the HANDSET is fully charged, it remains functional for approximately 4 hours of continuous use and approximately 4 days when the HANDSET is off the BASE UNIT or CHARGER UNIT in STANDBY mode.

If your have a more than one HANDSET, please see page 29 for multi-HANDSET system for preparing.

NOTE: While the 5.8GHz frequency is inherently clearer, we suggest that you do not use this phone within 20 feet of a working microwave. The microwave produces frequencies in this range which may cause interference. This interference is normal for all 5.8 GHz phones and should not be considered a product defect.
