HD2 Handset™
WARNING: If you need to replace
the batteries included with your
handset, use only rechargeable
Nickel Metal-Hydride (Ni-MH)
batteries. Other types of batteries may
damage the handset or create a risk of re.
We recommend that you leave the hand-
set on the cradle for 30 minutes before
proceeding to the next step. The handset
requires 10 hours to fully charge.
IMPORTANT: The Ooma HD2 Handset is not compatible with
the rst-generation Ooma Telo Handset. If you wish to switch
from using the original Ooma Telo Handset to the new Ooma
HD2 Handset, you must rst dial on a phone
connected to your Ooma Telo. The device will automatically reboot with
a new version of software.
Once the Telo is back in service, repeat Step 3. The Telo will now connect
to your HD2 Handsets. Any older Telo Handsets will no longer work.

Getting Started
You’re just a few quick steps from making and receiving calls on your

the Ooma Telo™—you’ll be able to access all Ooma features and
even unlock new functionality! Before you begin, please make sure
that your Ooma Telo is installed and operating properly, as your new
handset cannot be set up without a functioning Telo.
Remove the battery cover located on the
back of the handset by sliding it away
from the center of the device. Insert the
two included rechargeable AA batteries,
making sure they are aligned properly.
Replace the battery cover by sliding it in
the opposite direction.
Plug the AC adapter into a power outlet
and then connect the AC adapter cable
to the charging cradle. Put the handset
on the cradle.
When the handset is on its cradle, it will
automatically display a message when
it is charging.
Press the key on your Ooma Telo
and hold it down for three seconds to
hear your 4-digit registration PIN.
Type this number into the handset
when prompted on the screen and
press the OK soft key. Once the
handset is successfully registered,
a home screen will be displayed.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against producing
harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• To prevent overheating, situate all parts of the product
away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other xtures, appliances and
products that produce heat or any area where proper
ventilation is not provided.
• Unplug with caution the product from power outlets
or USB ports if it emits smoke, an abnormal smell or
makes unusual noise. These conditions may cause re
or electrical shock.
• Do not disassemble the charging cradle, it contains no
user-serviceable parts.
• On the Ooma HD2 Handset, the battery cover is
removable and the rechargeable batteries may be
replaced. Do not disassemble any other part of the
