BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Using More Than One Handset
This system can support up to four handsets. You must “register” additional
handsets (purchased separately) with the base. The handset that came with
the system (Handset 1) will automatically be registered with the base.
Follow the directions that come with an additional handset to register it
with the base.
Choosing the Best Location
Choose a location for the base near an electrical outlet and a telephone
jack. This phone requires a modular telephone jack and a standard
electrical outlet (110v AC) not controlled by a wall switch. For optimum
performance, install the base on the highest floor of your home.
About Caller ID with Call Waiting
This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with
service from your local phone service provider.
Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see who’s calling before you answer the
phone, even when you’re on another call.
You may need to change your phone service to use this feature. Contact
your phone service provider if:
•
You have both Caller ID and Call Waiting, but as separate services
(you may need combined service)
•
•
You have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting service
You don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.
You can also use this product with regular Caller ID service, and you can use
this product’s other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or
combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service. To turn off this phone’s Caller
ID with Call Waiting feature, see the FEATURE SETUP section of this manual.
There are fees for Caller ID services, and they may not be available in all
areas.
This phone can provide information only if both you and the caller are in
areas offering Caller ID service and if both telephone companies use
compatible equipment.

BATTERIES
Battery Life
Battery life depends on how far the handset is from the base, and other
environmental conditions.
NOTE: For optimum performance, charge your handset on the base
every night.
Charge the Handset Battery Pack
•
This battery should remain charged for up to five days. A fully charged
battery provides an average talk time of about six to eight hours.
The battery pack needs charging when:
•
– The battery icon (
) flashes,
– A warning tone sounds, or
– The screen displays LOW BATTERYwhen idle.
Place the handset in the base so the CHARGING light goes on. The
battery pack is typically charged in eight hours. For best results, the
initial charge should be twelve hours.
•
•
•
You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the handset to the
base after each use.
If you repeatedly get a Low Battery indicator, even after eight hours of
charging, the battery should be replaced.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons or
damage to the telephone, read and follow these instructions
carefully:
•
•
Use only Replacement Battery 2401, SKU# 91077.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell might explode.
Check with local codes for special disposal instructions.
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is
corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be
toxic if swallowed.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery
with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The
battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm.
Charge the battery provided with or identified for use with this
product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations
specified in this manual.
•
•
•
•
Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery and
battery charger.

BATTERIES
Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries. Dispose of batteries in a safe manner.
Consult your local waste disposal company for disposal information. Do

Charge the battery at least 12 hours. After the first charge, the
battery will quick charge in only eight hours.

BATTERIES
Power Fail Operation
You can use your cordless phone during a power outage when a fully
charged battery is installed in the base unit (see “Spare Battery”). This
battery will provide enough power for you to make and receive calls for up
to five hours.
NOTE: When using the spare battery backup power, audio quality may
be somewhat reduced.
Spare Battery
This phone is equipped with a built-in spare battery charger in the base
unit. The spare battery charger allows you to always have a charged
battery available should the handset battery charge become low.
NOTE: Do not switch the battery while on a call.
1
Press the release button on the bottom of the base unit to open
the spare battery compartment drawer.
2
Place the battery pack (Replacement Battery 240, SKU# 91077,
purchased separately) in the drawer, with the charge contacts
facing up and to the left.

4
Push the drawer closed.
The spare battery takes 24 hours to fully charge.

IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
If you have difficulty operating this phone, try the suggestions below.
1 800 222–3111. Please retain your receipt as your proof of purchase.
If the phone does not work at all, check these items first:
•
Make sure the power cord is plugged into the base and an electrical
outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
•
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit
and the telephone jack.
•
•
Make sure the battery pack is installed correctly.
If the screen displays LOW BATTERY, place the handset in the base and
charge for at least eight hours.
•
If the battery does not charge after eight hours, replace it with
Replacement Battery 2401, SKU# 91077.
If the above suggestions do not solve the problem, try re-initializing the
handset and base (see “To re-initialize the handset and base” below).
If you have no dial tone:
Check all the previous suggestions. If you still do not hear a dial tone,
disconnect the phone and try another phone in the same jack. If there is
no dial tone on that phone either, the problem is probably in your wiring
or local service.
If you hear a two-beep signal when you try to use the handset:
•
The handset and base are not communicating properly. You might be
out of range. Move closer to the base and try again.
