C. Connect the base unit

1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet. 2) Set the base on a desk or tabletop, and place the handset in the base unit. 3) Make sure that the status 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 charging contacts.

Use only the supplied AD-310 AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter. Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply. Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC adapter easily. Place the handset in the base with the keypad facing forward for charging.
After installing the battery pack in the handset, charge your handset at least 15-20 hours before plugging into the phone line. Once the handset battery pack is fully charged, connect the telephone line cord to the base and telephone wall outlet. 4) Connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack and to a telephone outlet once the handset is fully charged.
If your telephone outlet isn't modular, contact your telephone company for assistance. Modular
Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.

EXI376_OM 2/8/2 2:04 PM Page 13

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 lengths. Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset. Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed. 1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall, (with their appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone. 2) Refer to steps 1 through 6 on pages 12 to mount the telephone.

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This interference is caused by external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and are too distracting, please check around your home to see what appliances may be causing the problem. In addition,

[ 43 ]

EXI376_OM 2/8/2 2:05 PM Page 44
we recommend that the base not be plugged into a circuit that also powers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. Be certain that the antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed. In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio signals from another cordless telephone or other source of interference. If you cannot eliminate this type of interference, you need to change to a different channel. Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

*To help select a cordless phone thats right for you, consider how you want to use it, what environment you live in and how many people use the phone. All frequency levels are clear, but some perform better in urban or rural areas. Of course, test the phone for comfort in hand and next to your ear.
