Do the following steps:

A. Choose the best location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
included in the PRECAUTIONS.
Here are some important guidelines you should consider:
The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet which
is not switchable.
Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors and
fluorescent lighting.
The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.
B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset
The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery recharges
automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit.
Charge the handset battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before using your new cordless
telephone for the first time!
To maximize the charge capacity of your battery pack, DO NOT
plug the telephone cord into the base unit and wall jack until the battery is fully charged.
NOTE: If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to
the telephone line, be sure that installing the system does not
disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what
will disable your alarm equipment, contact your telephone
company or a qualified installer.
1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the finger
indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.
2) Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires) into the jack
inside the battery compartment (the connector notches fit into the
grooves of the jack only one-way). Match the wire colors to the
polarity label in the battery compartment, connect the battery and
listen for a click to insure connection.
3) Before replacing the battery cover, make certain the battery pack is
securely connected by slightly pulling on the battery wires. Then
place the battery case cover back on the handset by sliding it
upwards until it clicks into place.
