Installing portable telephones

To use Norstar Companion portables, you must first install radio base stations to transceive radio signals to and from the portable telephones, then bring the system on-line. Installing base stations on page 30

Companion Portable Telephones are installed differently than traditional desk sets. There are no direct connections between the portables and the Norstar system.

Do the following:

•Install the batteries and battery charging units for each portable, using the instructions that come with the portable.

•Register each Companion portable for use with the Norstar system. For complete instructions, see the Registration information beginning on page 73.
