This cordless telephone must be set up before use. Follow these steps:

AAbboouutt tthhee ddiiggiittaall sseeccuurriittyy ccooddee

This cordless telephone uses a

digital security code to prevent

unauthorized access to your

base unit. This security code

prevents other cordless

handsets from making calls

through your base unit.

A random security code will be

assigned automatically between

your base unit and handset

when you charge the battery

pack for the first time.

If you want to reset the security

code, see page 31.

AA.. CChhoooossee tthhee bbeesstt llooccaattiioonn

Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

included in the PRECAUTIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS brochure. 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,

microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.

• Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna to a vertical position.

• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.

• If your second phone line has a separate modular jack, place your phone so you can

access both jacks.

Tone Dialing Switch-over

Some telephone companies use equipment that require pulse dialing (sometimes

referred to as rotary dialing). If you need to enter tone dialing digits, you can

switch-over to tone dialing during the call. An example of this could be entering your

bank account number after you have called your bank. The digits of your bank account

can be entered using DTMF tones.

Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once

your call connects, press

*

// ttoonnee

on the handset, or

*

//

ttoonnee

on the base. Enter the desired number (like in example

above the bank account number). These digits will be sent

as tone dialing. This special number can be stored in a

memory location. This is referred to as Chain Dialing (See

page 20). Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled

and pulse dialing mode resumes.

The tone feature only

applies when the dial

mode is set to pulse.

note

Traveling Out-of-Range

During a call, as you begin to move your handset too far from your base unit,

noise increases. If you pass the range limits of the base unit, your call will

terminate within 30 seconds.
