GETTING STARTED

Setting up the Phone

For maximum range: Keep the antenna free of obstruction. When the handset is not in use place the handset in an upright position. Do not hold the handset where you would block the signal.
A. Choose the best location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:

Correct

Incorrect
Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance.
The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one which is not connected to a switch). The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting. For better reception, place the base as high as possible. The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception. If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to phone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.

1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet. Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply (i.e., an outlet that is not controlled by a switch). 2) Set the base on a desk or tabletop, and place the handset in the base unit. Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC adapter easily. 3) Make sure that the charge LED illuminates. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts. After installing the battery pack in the handset, charge your handset for at least 15-20 hours before plugging into the phone line. 4) Once the handset battery pack is fully charged, connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack and to a telephone outlet.
If your telephone outlet isn't modular, contact your telephone company for assistance.
Use only the supplied [AD-830] AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter. 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.

GETTING STARTED [12]

DO NOT use an AC outlet controlled by a wall switch.
Mounting the Base Unit on a Wall
Standard wall plate mounting
This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate. 1) Make the AC adapter and the telephone line cord through the hole on the wall mount adapter. 2) Plug the AC adapter into the DC IN 9V jack. 3) Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack. 4) Slide the wall mount adapter into the notches on the base. 5) Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet. Hook the cord on the notch of the wall mount adapter. 6) Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone outlet. Hook the cord on the notch of the wall mount adapter. 7) Align the mounting slots on the base with the mounting posts on the wall. Then push in and down until the phone is firmly seated.
To remove, push up a tab on the wall mount adapter as shown.

[13] GETTING STARTED

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.

GETTING STARTED [16]

DirectLink Mode (Handset only)
You must have at least two handsets to use DirectLink Mode.
In DirectLink mode, a pair of handsets can function as two-way radios. DirectLink Mode allows two handsets to communicate with each other without the base unit or a telephone line. Use them at sporting events or while shopping to stay in contact with family members or friends. You must set both handsets to DirectLink Mode activate this feature.

Soft keys allow you to: - Access the main menu - Access stored Caller ID messages - Set up CIDCW options - Store or edit phone numbers - Store or edit phone numbers - Redial one of the last three numbers dialed from the handset Note: The soft keys will not appear while the handset is charging. The function of each soft key is determined by the icon that appears directly above it. For example, when the handset is in standby mode, pressing soft key 1 will redial the last number. When the handset is in talk mode, pressing soft key 1 will mute the microphone. Complete information on the features controlled by the soft keys can be found under each feature.

Match the connector's wire colors to the polarity label in the battery compartment (the connector notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one way). Push the battery pack connector into the jack until it clicks into place. 3) Make sure you have a good connection by gently pulling on the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery jack will remain in place. 4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset and slide it upwards until it clicks into place. 5) Place the handset in the base unit for 15-20 hours without interruption. The base unit's LED light (labeled charge) illuminates once the handset is placed in the base. The LED light will illuminate whether the battery pack is connected or not.
