11 12 Getting Started Getting Started Location You need to place your T1960 within 6 feet of the AC power outlet and telephone socket so that the cables will reach. Make sure it is at least 3 feet away from other electrical and metal appliances to avoid interference issues. Your T1960 works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you locate the base. Putting it as high as possible and separated as much as possible from other radio devices and metal objects ensures the best signal. WARNING Do not place your T1960 in the bathroom or other humid areas. IMPORTANT Do not connect the telephone line until the handset is fully charged. The base must be plugged into the AC power at all times. Battery charging light The red charging light on the base stays on while the handset is on the base, even when the batteries are fully charged. Talk/Standby time Under ideal conditions, fully charged handset batteries should give up to 4 hours talk time or 80 hours standby time on a single charge. Battery low warning When the handset battery symbol is empty and flashing (see page 18), you will hear a warning beep. Start recharging your handset right away. When charging the battery, level bars are animated. R9 Getting Started Battery performance When the batteries are fully charged the battery indicator will display green bars. To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the base for a few hours at a time (after the initial 16 hour charge). Please note however, that new NiMH batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days. The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, thereby reducing the talk and standby time of the handset. Eventually the batteries may need to be replaced. Setting Up 1. Plug the power cable into the base. 2. Plug the AC power adapter into an electrical wall outlet 3. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the handset, paying attention to the polarity. Slide the battery compartment cover into place. 4. Charge the handset for at least 16 hours by placing it on the base. The red “CHARGE” light is on when the handset is in the charger and stays on even after the batteries are fully charged. 5. After 16 hours, plug the telephone line cord into the wall socket and your T1960 telephone is now ready for use. R9 13 14 Getting Started Handset to Base Registration The handset is pre-registered to the base as ‘Handset 1’. For information regarding registering additional handsets to the base see page 50. Range Indicator The symbol on your handset display indicates when you are in range of the base. If the symbol flashes and you hear a warning beep, you are out of range and will need to move closer to the base. Setting the Date and Time If you have subscribed to the Caller-ID service, the time and date will be set automatically when you receive your first call. You can also set the time manually. (See page 48). Your Verizon T1960 is now ready for use. R9 Replacing batteries Use only rechargeable 750 mAh AAA Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. Replacement batteries may be obtained commercially from a retail battery supplier. See page 5 for important battery replacement information. NOTE: The RBRC seal on the battery used in your Thomson Inc. product indicates that we are participating in a program to collect and recycle the rechargeable battery (or batteries). For more information go to the RBRC web site at www.rbrc.org or call 1-800-8-BATTERY or contact a local recycling center. Handset range The T1960 range between the base and handset will vary greatly depending on the location of the base. When there is no clear line of sight between the base and handset, e.g., the base is indoors and the handset is either indoors or outdoors, the range may be reduced. Getting Started If you have purchased additional handsets: Ensure the charger is connected to the AC power outlet at all times. On each charger: 1. Connect the AC power adapter to the charger. 2. Plug the AC power adapter into an electrical wall outlet. On each additional handset: 3. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the handset, paying attention to the polarity (See page 13). Slide the battery compartment cover into place. 4. If the batteries have enough charge the handset will power-up with “Not Registered” on the display. 5. Charge the handset for at least 16 hours. Once fully charged, your additional handset(s) are required to be registered to the base. See page 50. Your additional handsets are now ready for use.
