and battery covers. If you need to
remove a battery cover, press in on
the notch and slide the cover down
and off.
Line up the battery connector with the jack inside the handset.
(The battery connector will only fit one way.)
Push the connector in until it clicks into place; tug gently on the
wires to make sure the battery pack is securely connected.
Replace the battery cover and slide it into place.

each charger. Set the plugs into the notches.
Plug the other end of the adapters into standard 120V AC outlets.

Connect the Telephone Cord
Use the telephone cord to connect the
TEL LINE
jack on the base to a
standard telephone wall jack.
Test the Connecon
Pick up the handset from the cradle and press
Talk
. You should
hear a dial tone, and the display should say Talk.
If you don't hear a dial tone or the display says Check Tel Line, try
checking the connection between the base and the phone jack.
Make a quick test call. (Press
End

If you keep hearing a dial tone, try changing to pulse dialing mode.
If there is a lot of noise, see page 21 for tips on avoiding
interference.
Test all your handsets the same way. If you can't get a dial tone, try
moving the handset closer to the base.
Changing from Tone to Pulse Dialing
Your phone communicates with the telephone network in two ways:
tone dialing or pulse dialing. Most telephone companies use tone
dialing. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to
change your phone’s dial mode.
From a handset, open the menu and select Global Setup. (See page
8 for details on using the menu.)
Select Dial Mode, then select Pulse. The phone sounds a
confirmation tone.
If you use pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones during a call
(if you're using an automated response system, for example), press
*
to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When the call ends, the phone
automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.

Weak or Hard To Hear Audio
If a caller’s voice sounds weak or
soft, the signal might be blocked
by large metal objects or walls;
you might also be too far from
the base, or the handset’s battery
may be weak.
Try moving around while
you’re on a call or moving
closer to the base to see if the
sound gets louder.
Make sure the handset’s
battery is fully charged.
Try adjusting the earpiece
volume.
If you have a hearing aid equipped
with a telecoil (T-coil) feature, the
interacon between the hearing aid
& digital cordless phones can cause
noise in the handset. If you have a T-
coil hearing aid & you have problems
with noise on the line, try turning on

oise or Stac on the Lineoise or Stac on the Line
Interference is the most common cause of noise or static on a cordless
phone. Here are some common sources of interference:
electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens
computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment and DSL
modems
radio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless
controllers, or wireless headphones or speakers
fluorescent light fixtures (especially if giving off a buzzing noise)
other services that use your phone line, like alarm systems,
intercom systems, or broadband Internet service
If static is on 1 handset or in 1
Check nearby for one of the
common interference sources.
Try moving the handset away
from a suspected source, or try
moving the suspected source so
it’s not between the handset and
the base.
There is always more noise at
the edges of the base's range.
If an
Out of Range
message
displays, try moving closer to the
base.
-
-
-
Check near the base for the
source of interference.
Try moving the base away
from a suspected source, or
turn off the source if possible.
If the base has an adjustable
antenna, try raising the
antenna so it stands straight
up.
If you have any service that
uses the phone line, you might
need a filter (see below).

Installing a Line Filter or DSL Filter
Sometimes, broadband Internet services that use the telephone line
can interfere with phones. One of these services−DSL−often causes
static on telephones. A DSL filter or telephone line filter usually solves
this problem. The technician who installed your DSL service might
have left some filters for you; if not, call your DSL provider or look in
any electronics store.

Plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and plug your phone’s
base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.
Liquid Damage
Moisture and liquid can damage your cordless phone.
If the exterior housing of the handset or base is exposed to moisture
or liquid, wipe off the liquid, and use as normal.
If moisture or liquid is inside the plastic housing (i.e. liquid can
be heard in the phone or liquid has entered the handset battery
compartment or vent openings on the base), follow these steps:
Base
Remove the battery cover and disconnect
the battery.
Let dry for at least 3 days with the battery
disconnected and the cover off.
After the handset dries, reconnect the
battery and replace the cover. Recharge the
battery fully (15-20 hours) before using.

When the baery gets too low, the
handset shows a low baery alert. If
you hear a strange beep during a call,
check the display: if you see the low
baery alert, nish your conversaon
as quickly as possible and return the
