GETTING STARTED

Installing Your Phone

Charge the Battery

1.  Unpack all handsets, battery packs, and battery 

covers. If you need to remove a cover, press in on 

the notch and slide the cover down and off.

2.  Line up the battery connector with the jack inside 

the handset; the connector only fits one way.

3.  Push the connector in until it clicks into place; tug gently on the wires to 

make sure the battery is securely connected.

4.  Replace the battery cover and slide it into place.
5.  Use an AC adapter to connect the power jack on the base to a regular 

indoor (120V AC) power outlet. Connect any chargers the same way.

6.  Place a handset in the base with the display facing forward. If the display 

doesn’t light up, reseat the handset or connect the base to a different outlet. 

For 2 or more handsets, place each handset in a charger.

#

Charge the handset completely (about 15 hours) before using.

Connect the Telephone Cord

1.  Use the telephone cord to connect the 

TEL LINE

 jack on the base to a 

standard telephone wall jack.

#

If the display says 

Check Tel Line, 

check the connection between the 

base and the phone jack.

2.  If you are mounting the phone on the wall, place the mounting slots (on 

the rear of the base) over the pins on the wall plate; slide the base down to 

lock it into place.
