SELECTING A LOCATION

Select a location for the telephone that meets these requirements:

    Near an AC outlet

    Near a telephone line jack

    Out of the way of normal activities

    Away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, and metal
    walls or filing cabinets

    Away from wireless intercoms, alarms, and room monitors

The base's location affects the phone's range.  If you have a choice of
several locations, try each one to see which provides the best performance.

If the phone line jack is not a modular jack, you must update the wiring
yourself, using jacks and adapters available at your local Radio Shack
store.  Or, you can let the phone company update the wiring for you.

NOTES:  The phone company will charge you for the installation of the
        necessary jacks.

        The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C.

INSTALLING THE PHONE

Follow these steps to install the base on a desk, shelf, or table.

1.  Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the phone jack on the
    back of the base.

2.  Plug the modular cord's other end into a modular phone line jack.

3.  Insert the supplied AC adapter's barrel plug into the DC 12V jack on
    the back of the base.

4.  Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

For the best reception, fully extend the base's antenna and place it in a
vertical position.

CAUTION:  You must use a 120V AC/12V DC adapter that delivers at least 200
          milliamps.  Its center tip must be positive, and its plug must
          correctly fit the phone's DC 12V jack.  The supplied adapter
          meets these requirements.  Using an adapter that does not meet
          these requirements could damage the phone or the adapter.

PREPARATION

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Before you use your phone for the first time, you must install and charge
the battery.

To install the battery, slide off the battery compartment cover on the back
of the handset, connect the battery's plug to the pins inside the
compartment, and place the battery inside the compartment.

Replace the cover, then follow the instructions under "Charging the
Battery."

CHARGING THE BATTERY

When you install a new battery, set POWER to OFF.  Then place the handset
on the cradle so the CHARGE/TALK indicator lights and let the battery
charge for about 15 hours.

When the CHARGE/TALK indicator on the handset lights, recharge the battery.
To avoid damage to the battery, always recharge the handset before battery
power grows too weak to light the CHARGE/TALK indicator.

NOTES:  You can set POWER to ON while the battery charges.

        If the CHARGE/TALK indicator does not light when you place the
        handset on the cradle, be sure the battery is connected to the pins
        inside the battery compartment and the AC adapter is securely
        connected to the base.  Also, check the charging contacts on the
        handset and base.  If the contacts are dirty or tarnished, gently
        clean them with a pencil eraser.

        About once a month, fully discharge the battery by keeping the 
        handset off the cradle until the CHARGE/TALK indicator flashes,
        then return the handset to the cradle and fully recharge the 
        battery.  If you do not fully discharge and recharge the battery 
        periodically, it loses its ability to fully recharge.

        The first time you use your phone after installing a new battery,
        the handset might not work and might sound an error tone when you
        press TALK.  This might also occur when you recharge a battery that
        has been completely discharged.  If this happens, be sure the
        handset is turned on, then return the handset to the cradle for 5
        seconds.  This resets the security access code.

SETTING THE DIALING MODE

Set TONE/PULSE on the back of the base for the type of service you have.

If you are not sure which type you have, do this test.

1.  Set TONE/PULSE to TONE.

2.  Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone.

3.  Press any number other than 0.

4.  If the dial tone stops, you have touch-tone service.

If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service.  Set TONE/PULSE to
PULSE.
