Connecting to the Phone Line
Once the battery pack is fully charged, route the telephone
cord through the “LOOP” of base’s back as shown, and
connect the telephone cord to the
TEL LINE jack.
Connect the telephone cord to a telephone wall jack.
Testing the Connection
Try making a call. If your call does not connect or you cannot
get a dial tone, try the following steps:
Make sure the AC adapter cord is securely connected to
the
DC IN 9V jack and a standard power outlet.
Check to make sure the battery is fully charged. (If you
don’t see the “battery full” icon, check to make sure the
battery is properly connected).
Change the dial mode.
Changing the Dial Mode
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These
days, most base networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing. If
your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your phone’s dial mode. If you don’t get a dial tone
or can’t connect to the telephone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:
Press
[Menu/Select]. Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the
DIAL MODE submenu.
Scroll
[ ] to highlight PULSE.
Press
[Menu/Select]. You will hear a conrmation tone.
If you ever need to change the dial mode back to tone dialing, follow the same procedure, but select TONE in step 2.
Note: If you have multiple bases, select the base before changing the dial mode (see Selecting the Base on
page 21).
