Cordless Telephone Operation

Preparing for Use
Before you can use your cordless telephone, you must charge the Handset for 12 hours. Failure
to do so will require recharging of the Battery Pack more often.
1. Place the Handset on the Base Unit for 12 hours.
2. After 12 hours, remove the Handset from the Base Unit.
NOTE: Depending on the frequency of use, once the Handset is fully charged, it remains
functional for approximately 6 hours of continuous use and approximately 6 days when
the Handset is off the Base Unit in standby mode.
Placing Calls
1. Press the TALK button. The Handset IN USE LED
indicator and the Base Unit IN USE/CHARGE LED
indicator will light up.
2. Listen for a dial tone.
3. Dial the phone number.
4. When you have finished your call, either press the TALK
button or place the Handset on the Base Unit. The
Handset IN USE LED indicator will turn off and the
Base Unit IN USE/CHARGE LED will light up to
indicate that the Handset is charging.
NOTES:
1. The Base Unit does not have a ringer and does not ring when receiving an incoming call.
2. If you are too far away from the Base Unit, the Handset emits “beep” sounds to warn
you that the background noise level is too high for proper communication between the
Handset and the Base Unit. When you hear this sound, you should move closer to
the Base Unit to reduce the noise level. Otherwise, the call will automatically cut off.
Receiving Calls with the Handset off the Base Unit
1. When the phone rings, press the TALK button. The IN USE LED indicator will light up.
2. Start your conversation.
3. To end your conversation, either press the TALK button or place the Handset on the
Base Unit. If you place the Handset on the Base Unit CHARGE CRADLE, you activate the
automatic standby feature.
