Table Installation
1.
Choose a spot near an electrical outlet and a telephone jack.
This phone requires a modular telephone jack and a standard electrical outlet (110 V AC).
The outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch; if the switch is turned off, the phone will not
operate.

Install the handset battery.
Remove the battery case cover on the handset by pressing on the indentations and sliding the cover
downward.
Plug the battery pack cord into the handset and rest the cords on top of the battery pack.
Replace the cover by sliding it on its track up over the battery compartment until it snaps firmly in
place.

Install the base battery.
Turn the unit over.
Open the battery cover by gently pulling on the movable tab.

Close the battery cover.

the line cord into a modular jack. Make sure the plug snaps firmly in place.

format (initialize) digital memory. The memory format routine takes approximately 8 seconds.
While the system formats memory, the Message Window counts down from 8 to 0.

right position to charge the batteries.
