Installing the Telephone Base Install the base as shown in the diagram below. Choose a location away from electrical equipment, such as television sets or microwave ovens. Avoid excessive heat, cold, dust or moisture. After connecting the telephone base to an available USB port on your computer, Windows will automatically detect and install the appropriate drivers.
Installing the Software Before continuing, make sure the batteries in the handset are fully charged. 1. Insert the CDROM and wait for the opening screen to be displayed. If the software installation program does not automatically start, you will need to launch it manually.
