Installing the base telephone equipment

Complete the following procedures to install the T7406E system equipment:
• Installing the handset charging cradle
• Installing the battery pack
• Charging the battery pack for the first time
• Securing the base station mounting bracket
• Connecting the telephone line and power adapter to the base station
• Mounting the base station

Important first-time installation information

When performing the initial configurations on the handset, ensure that all the handsets you intend
to configure have fully-charged battery packs installed.
Because the handsets start scanning as soon as they are powered, you must set the handset IDs
before you configure the handset to avoid conflicts between handset signals and the possibility of
one set mirroring another.
For information on wiring your system, refer to

Before you start

Before you install the base station, ensure that
• the telephone lines from your system have been installed at the base station location
• there is an ac power outlet within 1.5 meters (5 feet) of the base station location
• you have removed the mounting bracket from the base station
