Charging the Handset Place the handset in the base cradle with the display facing forward. If your phone came with more than one handset, connect each charging cradle to power with its AC adapter. Place each handset in its charging cradle with the display facing forward.
Connecting to the Phone Line Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Connect the telephone cord to the TEL LINE jack on the bottom of the base.

Changing the dial mode Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing.

Using Multiple Bases The handsets supplied with your phone can be registered to a total of four different bases. Compatible bases include the DECT1500 series, the DECT000 series, the DECT3000 series and the WXI077 series. Once your handset is registered to more than one base, you can set the handset to search automatically the available base, or you can select manually which base the handset should connect to (for example, if you have one base with an answering machine, you can tell the handset to connect that base to check messages).
Selecting the base When your handset is registered to another base, it will automatically connect to the base. A base ID (that is for the handset only) will be assigned in the order of registration. You can either select a base you want to use manually, or set to AUTO.
