Connecting the Battery

Before you use your phone for the first time, yu must connect the battery
and charge it for 15 hours.

Slide off the battery compartment cover on the back of the handset and
connect the battery's plug to the pins inside the compartment.

Replace the cover then follow the instructions under "Charging the Battery".

Charging the Battery

After you connect the battery, set POWER to OFF.  Then place the handset on
the base so the CHARGE/TALK indicator lights and let the battery charge for
about 15 hours.

The phone recharges whenever the handset is on the base.  You can recharge
the battery at any time, but you must be sure to recharge the battery when
LOW BATT lights on the handset.

NOTES:  The first time you use your phone after charging the battery, the
        handset might not work or might sound an error tone when you press
        TALK.  This might also occur when you recharge a battery that has
        been completely discharged.

        If this happens, be sure the handset is turned on.  Then return the
        handset to the base for 5 seconds.  This resets the security access
        protection code.

        If the CHARGE/TALK indicator does not light when you place the hand-
        set on the base, be sure the battery is connected to the pins inside
        the battery compartment (see "Replacing the Battery") and the AC
        adapter is securely connected to the base.

        Also check the charging contacts on the handset and base.  If the
        contacts are dirty or tarnished, gently clean them with a pencil
        eraser.

        About once a month, fully discharge the battery by keeping the hand-
        set off the base until LOW BATT flashes. Then return the handset to
        the base and recharge the battery for 15 hours.

Setting the Dialing Mode

Set TONE/PULSE on the back of the base for the type of service you have. If
you are not sure which type you have, do this test.

1.  Set TONE/PULSE to TONE.

2.  Lift the handset, press TALK, and listen for a dial tone.

3.  Press any number other than 0.

If the dial tone stops, you have touch-tone service.  Leave TONE/PULSE set
to TONE.

If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service. Set TONE/PULSE to PULSE.

Setting the Volume

Adjust VOLUME HI/LOW on the handset to control the volume of the sound you
hear through the handset.
