Getting Started

To set up your Motorola digital cordless phone
system:
1 Install optional backup batteries in the base
station, plug into a power outlet, and connect to
phone line (see page 16).
2 Plug in charging bases and install batteries in
expansion handsets (see page 22).
3 Charge expansion handset batteries (see
page 23).
A rechargeable NiCd battery powers each
expansion handset. Charge the battery for about
12 hours before initial use.
4 Register expansion handsets to the base station
(see page 23).
5 Set the ring tone, date, time, and other features of
your expansion handset(s) and base station (see
page 24).
Place the Base Station:
• Away from electrical appliances such as a TV,
personal computer, or another cordless phone.
• In a high and central location with no obstructions,
such as walls.
If you hear noise while using the handset near a
microwave or another cordless phone's base unit,
move away from the microwave or base unit and
closer to your handset's base station.
