PREPARATION
CONNECTING THE
BATTERY
Before you use your phone for the first
time, you must connect the battery,
then charge it for about 12-15 hours.
Slide off the battery compartment cov-
er on the back of the handset. Connect
the battery to the pins inside the bat-
tery compartment.
Then replace the cover, install the
handset’s antenna, mount the phone
(see “Selecting a Location”), and follow
the instructions under “Charging the
Battery.”
INSTALLING THE
HANDSET’S ANTENNA
Insert the antenna into the hole at the
top of the handset, then rotate the an-
tenna clockwise until it is secure.
SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place your phone on a desk,
shelf, or table, or mount it on a wall.
Select a location that is:
• Near an AC outlet
• Near a telephone line jack
• Out of the way of normal activities
• Away from fluorescent lights, elec-
trical machinery, electrical appli-
ances, and metal walls or filing
cabinets
• Away from computers, remote
control toys, wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
The base’s location affects the phone’s
range. If you have a choice of several
locations, try each to see which pro-
vides the best performance.
Notes:
• If the phone line jack is not a mod-
ular jack, you must update the wir-
ing. You can do this yourself,
using jacks and adapters avail-
able at your local Radio Shack
store, or you can let the phone
company update the wiring for
you.
• The phone company will charge
you for the installation of the nec-
essary jacks.
