handset and base station of this product.
However, for some functions the keys
used on the handset and base station
have different shapes or different
lettering.
The procedures in this manual use the
handset key icons. 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.

7 Getting started
7.1 Connect the base station
1Place 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.

(the gray cord) to the gray TEL LINE 2
phone jack and to the telephone wall jack
for line 2.

4Connect the power cable to the
power outlet.
Line adaptors may not be attached to the
line cords. 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 base
The base is designed to support wall
mounting. To wall mount the base, follow
the instructions below.
1Attach the bracket to the base
station as shown below.
2Use the pedestal wall mounting to
plug your base station.

conversation, an alert tone sounds to
inform you that the battery is low. If the
battery level becomes exceedingly low,
the phone automatically switches off
shortly after the icon starts blinking and
any function in progress will not be
saved.

cradle of the base station. A beep is
emitted if the handset is placed
correctly.
