Getting Started

To set up your Motorola digital cordless phone
system:
1. Install optional backup batteries in the base
station and plug into a power outlet (page 13).
2. Plug in charging bases for expansion handsets
(page 14).
3. Install batteries in handsets (page 14).
4. Charge handset batteries (page 15).
A rechargeable NiCd battery powers each
handset. Charge the battery for about 12 hours
before initial use.
5. Connect the base station to the phone line
(page 15).
6. Register expansion handsets to the base station
(page 14).
Handsets that come with your phone system are
already registered to the base.
7. Set the ring tone, date, time, and other features of
your handset(s) and base station (page 20).
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.
