CONNECTION
FIG. 2.3
– Locate the white vinyl strip
protruding from the rear of the adapter
unit. Remove the strip by pulling it directly
out of the slot to activate the battery.
FIG. 2.4
– Connect the included wall
charger to AC power and then to both
the headset and adapter power jacks.
In a few seconds, the INDICATOR lights
will begin to blink. The INDICATOR lights
will stop blinking and turn off when the
headset and adapter are fully charged.
The first charge takes 2 hours; subsequent
charges take just 1 hour. A fully charged
headset and adapter will provide
approximately 3 hours of talk time and
3 days of standby. Recharging your
batteries each night will ensure your
headset is ready for use the next day.
The batteries used in this product must be
recycled or disposed of properly. Contact
your local recycling center for proper
disposal instructions.
Install, activate and charge the batteries.

CONNECTING TO YOUR HANDSET
You may attach the adapter unit directly

in the supplied belt pouch. Before attach-
ing the unit to your handset, place a
few calls (see Section 5) and determine
a position that provides the best audio

your handset without interfering with
normal usage.

tape/Velcro patch and attach it square-
ly to the back of the adapter unit.

the tape/Velcro patch and secure it to
