This table shows the corresponding keys for the base station. Refer to it when needed.These keys are used to access the main menu and utilize functions such as redial and caller ID.For details, see 5.2 and 5.4.•TerminologyWhen a procedure applies equally to the handset and the base station, the word “unit” is used to indicate both.• Scrolling“Scroll n” means to use the u and d keys on the handset or the u and d keys on the base station to scroll through a menu or list on the display screen.Note: See Section 5 for detailed descriptions of the functions and use of the keys of the handset and base station.7 Getting started7.1 Connect the base station1Place the base station in a central location near the telephone line socket and electricity socket.2Connect the line cord(s) and the power cable to their corresponding connectors at the back of the base station.For 2 line subscriptions, connect the 4-pin telephone line cord (the black cord) to the black TEL LINE 1/2 phone jack and to the telephone wall jack for line 1. Connect the second telephone line cord (the gray cord) to the gray TEL LINE 2 phone jack and to the telephone wall jack for line 2.If the two phone lines are on one modular wall jack, connect only the 4-pin telephone line cord (the black cord) to the black TEL LINE 1/2 phone jack and to the telephone wall jack.

In this case, you have to connect line adaptors to the line cords first before plugging the line cords into the line sockets.Avoid placing the base station too close to large metal objects such as filing cabinets, radiators or electrical appliances. This can impair the range and sound quality. Buildings with thick internal and external walls may impair transmission of signals to and from the base.Power is applied when the power adaptor is plugged into the unit and connected to the electricity socket. The only way to power down the unit is to unplug the power adaptor from the electricity socket. Therefore, ensure that the electricity socket is easily accessible. The power adaptor and telephone line cord(s) have to be connected correctly, as incorrect connection could damage the unit. Always use the telephone line cord(s) supplied with the unit. Otherwise, you may not get a dial tone.7.2 Wall mounting the baseThe base is designed to support wall mounting.
