Setup
Before using your phone, peel the protective film off the display. The film
protects the handset window during shipment and is not necessary for use.
Important Caller ID Information
To use Caller ID and Call Waiting, you must be in an area where those services
are available and you must subscribe to those services through your local
phone company. Where Caller ID is offered, one or more options are generally
available:
• Caller’s number only
• Caller’s name only
• Caller’s name and number
If you subscribe to Call Waiting ID and Caller ID, the system can show you the
incoming caller information, even when you are already talking on the phone.
1 Select a Location
You can place the phone’s base on a desk or table, or mount it on a standard
wall plate or directly on a wall. Select a location that is:
• Near an accessible AC outlet
• Near a telephone line jack
• Out of the way of normal activities
• Away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal walls or filing
cabinets, wireless intercoms, alarms, and room monitors
• Away from other cordless phones
The base’s location affects the handset’s range. If you have a choice of several
locations, try each to see which provides the best performance.
2 Install Base Holder
For desktop use:
1. Turn the base holder so the wire hook is facing
the top of the base.
2. Insert the tabs into the bottom notches, then
snap the locking tabs into the upper notches.
