Installing the Rechargeable Battery Pack into the Handset The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. Once installed, the battery charges automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit. To install the rechargeable battery pack: 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 small jack inside the battery compartment.
Installing the Base Unit 1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to the standard 120V AC wall outlet. Note: • Use only the supplied AD-314 AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter. • Do not place the power cord where it creates a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard. 2) Charge the handset by placing in the base unit with the keypad facing forward.
3) Make sure that the charge/in use LED illuminates. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and that the handset makes good contact with the base's charging contacts. Note: • Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply (not controlled by a wall switch). • Place the base unit close to the AC outlet to avoid long extension cords. • Charge your handset at least 15 - 20 hours before plugging into the phone line.
Mounting the Base Unit on a Wall Standard wall plate mounting This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate. 1 1) Snap the wall mount adapter into the notches on the base top. 2) Plug the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack. 3) Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet. 4) Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack. 2 5) Route the telephone line cord through the groove as shown. 4 6) Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone outlet.
Direct wall mounting If you don’t have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following: • Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall. • Try to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive cord lengths. • Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.
Basic Setup There are five basic options that you will need to set up: AutoTalk, CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting), Area Code, Dial Mode and Language. Activating AutoTalk AutoTalk will allow you to answer the phone simply by removing the handset from the base. You do not have to press a key to answer the incoming call. To activate: 1) When the phone is in standby, press and hold [cid/menu]. The following screen appears. 2) Press [select/remote] to turn AutoTalk on.

Programming Your Area Code In some areas the telephone company may allow you to place a local call by dialing only 7 digits (instead of 10).
Choosing the Dialing Mode Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing and pulse dialing. These days, most telephone networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing by default. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you'll need to change your phone's dial mode. There's an easy way to tell: try making a call. If your call connects, your phone's setting is fine. If not, you may need to change the dial mode.

To change the language setting: 1) When the phone is in standby, Press and hold [cid/menu].

The handset returns to standby.
Using the Speed Dial Memory Your cordless phone allows you to store up to 10 names and numbers in the handset. You can dial these numbers with just a few key presses.

An example is a frequently refilled prescription number.
4) Enter a name according to the instructions below, then press [select/remote]. If no name is required, go to step 5. • The name can be up to 13 characters. • Use [ /tone/ ] and [#/ ] to move the cursor to the desired location. • Press [delete/channel] to delete characters as needed or press and hold to delete all characters. Refer to the letters on the number keys to select the desired characters.
If you make a mistake while entering a name Use [ /tone/ ] or [#/ ] to move the cursor to the incorrect character. Press [delete/channel] to erase the wrong character. Then enter the correct character. To delete all characters, press and hold [delete/channel]. 5) STORE NUMBER is displayed. The cursor flashes indicating that the phone is ready for the number to be entered. 6) Use the keypad to enter the phone number; each number can be up to 20 digits.
