Battery charging
Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status (see
the table below). If necessary, place the handset in the telephone base or charger
to charge the battery. For best performance, keep the handset in the telephone
base or charger when not in use. The battery is fully charged after 10 hours of
continuous charging. See the table on page 50 for battery operating times.
If the screen is blank, you need to charge the handset without interruption for
at least 30 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the telephone for
a short time. When the battery is low, the handset plays four short beeps and
shows LOW BATTERY along with a flashing icon. When you are on a call in
low battery mode, the handset plays four short beeps every 50 seconds.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.

Installation options
The telephone comes ready for tabletop use. If you want to mount your telephone
on a wall, use the provided wall mount bracket to connect with a standard
dual-stud telephone wall mount plate. If you do not have this wall mount plate,
you can purchase one from many hardware or consumer electronics retailers.
You may need a professional to install the wall mount plate.
Tabletop to wall mount installation
Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack on the bottom
of the telephone base. Plug the small end of the base power adapter into the
POWER jack on the bottom of the telephone base.
Position the telephone base against the wall mount bracket. Insert the extend tabs
(marked B) of the wall mount bracket into the slots on the back of the telephone
base. Push the telephone base down until it clicks securely in place.
Route the telephone line cord (or DSL) filter through the hole in the middle
of the wall mount bracket and plug it into the telephone wall jack. Route the
power cord out of the bottom of the telephone and plug it into an electrical
outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
Align the holes on the bracket with the standard wall mount plate and slide the
bracket down until it locks securely. Bundle the telephone line cord and power
adapter cord neatly with twist ties.
