Installation
Directly On a Wall
For this mounting method, you need two
screws (not supplied) with heads that fit into
the keyhole slots on the bottom of the base.
1. Drill two holes 3
15
/
16
inches (100 mm)
apart. Then thread a screw into each
hole, letting the heads extend about
3
/
16
inch (4 mm) from the wall.
2. Route the modular and adapter cords
through the grooves on the bottom of
the bracket if necessary.
3. Align the keyhole slots with the mount-
ing screws and slide the base downward
to secure it.
4. Plug the modular cord into a modular
phone line jack.
5. Plug the adapter into a standard AC out-
let.
6. Press up on the handset holder and
slide it out of place. Turn it upside down
so its tabbed edge faces up, then slide it
back down into its slot.
7. Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical posi-
tion.
CONNECTING, CHARGING,
AND REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
The phone comes with a rechargeable
nickel-cadmium battery pack. You must con-
nect the battery pack and charge it for at
least 12 hours before you use the phone for
the first time.
1. Slide off the battery compartment cover.
2. Unfasten the retainer strap and lift the
battery pack out of the compartment.
3. Plug the battery pack’s connector into
the socket in the compartment (the con-
nector fits only one way), then replace
the battery pack and fasten the retainer
strap.
4. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, place the hand-
set either faceup or facedown on the base.
The CHARGE/IN USE/MESSAGE indicator
lights.
Notes:
• Recharge the battery pack if the handset
beeps and LOW BATTERY appears, or
if LOW BATTERY appears when the
phone is not in use.
• If the phone does not work immediately
after charging or recharging the battery
pack, return the keypad to the base for
about 5 seconds to reset the security
access-protection code.
• About once a month, fully discharge the
battery pack by keeping the phone off
the base until the low battery warning
tone sounds. Otherwise, the battery
pack loses its ability to fully recharge.
• When the handset is on the base, the
CHARGE/IN USE/MESSAGE indicator
lights even when the battery pack is not
connected. If your phone does not work,
be sure the battery pack is properly con-
nected.
• If the CHARGE/IN USE/MESSAGE indi-
cator does not light when you place the
handset on the base, be sure the battery
pack and AC adapter are correctly and
securely connected.
• Check the charging contacts on the
handset and base. If the contacts are
dirty or tarnished, clean them with a
pencil eraser.
