Maintaining Battery Charge
When not in use, leave the handset in the charger to
keep it charged.
When the batteries are fully charged, the battery
meter on the handset display shows . When the
batteries are low, both the battery meter and the red
indicator light on the handset flash. An alarm sounds
from the handset when less than 15 minutes of
calling time are left.
Fully charged batteries provide 15 hours of calling
time or 100 hours of standby time. The rechargeable
nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack should last
for a year or longer under normal conditions.
Setting up the Base Station
Prepare the base station but DO NOT connect the
USB cable to the computer yet.
To set up the base station, you will need:
• Base station
• Desk stand or wall mount with screws
• Base station power supply
•USB cable
• One or two phone cords (depending on how many
analog phone lines you plan to use)
Choosing the Best Location for
your Base Station
Before choosing a location for your base station,
consider the following:
• The base station’s antenna is designed to
generate a spherical radiation pattern. The more
centrally located the base station is within desired
coverage area, the better.
