Handset Battery Charging:
The battery pack in the handset must be charged for about 10 hours
before using the telephone. After connecting to AC power, leave the
handset unused in the cradle for ten hours. Later, it will take less time
for the battery to recharge. The CHARGE LED on the handset charger
will be lit and the handset will display "READY ".
To Replace Batteries:
1. Remove battery cover.
2. Remove old battery.
3. Plug the cord of the battery pack into the
handset and place the battery in the case.
4. Slide battery cover until it clicks in place.
Charge 10 hours before first use.
To maximize your battery's life, we recommend that you periodically
fully discharge the battery, and then recharge it. To do this, unplug your
phone line cord from the wall phone jack. Press the TALK button, and
allow the handset to remain on for 10 hours. Reconnect the phone cord
to the wall phone jack. Return the handset to the handset charger and
allow it to fully charge for 10 hours. If this process is completed monthly,
it will reduce the memory buildup that occurs from frequent partial
charging.
NOTE:
a. When the battery gets low, the Battery Low lndicator will
turn on.
b. If the battery becomes low while you are on a call, you
will be disconnected after about 30 seconds. Terminate the
call quickly, and put the handset in the handset charger to
recharge the battery.
c. The battery will hold its charge for several days out of
the cradle, depending on use.
NOTE: The handset will not ring when the ringer is in the
"OFF" position. If the handset is out of the cradle, it will
display"RINGING" during an incoming call.

HANDSET REGISTRATION
When the handset is placed in the
base station registration outlet, it
transmits a registration packet to
the base station via the registration
outlet. The base station enables
registration and broadcasts
registration data via air interface.
Handset locks to this base station
and registration is complete.
When a new handset transmits a
registration packet to a base station,
the base station checks how many
handsets have been already
registered. In case 4 handsets are
already registered, the base station
starts to search for the handsets. If
it can locate all 4 handsets, then the
5th handset can't be registered, and
the registration is blocked. In case
a handset that already is registered
is out of range, or for other reasons
does not reply to the search and
notification request, it will be de-
registered and the registration
procedure for the new handset is
initiated.
The handset registration procedure
must be completed within 45
seconds.
The second handset cannot be
registered during an ongoing
registration procedure.
In case of heavy air interference,
e.g. when many 2.4GHz products
are active in the same area,
registration duration may be longer
since registration consists of data
transfer, that in contrast to audio,
has to be error free.
The way to de-register a handset
and register it to another base
station is to switch off the base
station and plug the handset in
another base station. After
switching off the base station, the
handset is no longer locked to this
base station and can be registered
to another base. When the handset
is connected to the other base
station registration outlet, a new
registration will take place and the
old registration doesn't exist.
Note: de-registration is not a
normal user operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE
1.Place each handset in the main
base unit to register it to the base.
2.Leave each unit in the base for up
to 15 seconds until a long beep is
heard, indicating that the handset is
registered to the base unit.
3. The LCD display on the handset
will read "READY".
4. Make sure to do this for all
handsets.

Digital Security System
The security code prevents your
cordless telephone conversation
from being accessed by a phone on
a different line. Once the handset
battery is fully charged, the
handset will automatically select
the code from a total of over 65,000
combinations. The code is changed
every time the handset is placed in
the cradle. If you experience
difficulty with placing or receiving
calls, a lost security code may be
the cause of the problem. When
this occurs the handset can no
longer communicate with the base.
Reset by placing handset on base
for 5-10 seconds. If that does not
work, unplug the AC adaptor from
the wall outlet, disconnect the
handset battery for 5-10 seconds,
then reconnect. Replug the AC
adaptor and place handset on the
registration plug for 5-10 seconds.
