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.
2. Connect the base station to the phone line.
3. Plug in charging bases for expansion handsets.
4. Install batteries in expansion handsets.
5. Charge expansion handset batteries.
A rechargeable NiCd battery powers each
expansion handset. Charge the battery for about
12 hours before initial use.
6. Register expansion handsets to the base station.
7. Set the ring tone, date, time, and other features of
your expansion handset(s) and base station.
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.
