3 Bottom View 1 Battery cover 3 Battery port 2 Battery slot 4 Wall-mounting brackets 2 Installation Installing the Battery  If the ambient temperature exceeds the temperature allowed for charging, the device stops charging the battery.  If connected to the power adapter, the device automatically charges the battery and stops charging when the battery is fully charged.  Remove the battery if the device is not in use for a long time.  If the battery has not been used for a long time or if the battery runs out of power, the device's indicators may not turn on as expected when the battery is charging. This is normal. The device can be powered on after the battery is charged for a while.  Generally, the device sources its power from the line power supply using the power adapter. It sources its power from the battery only when there is a power failure or no power outlet is available.  The battery supplies power for only a limited period. Ensure that the battery has been fully charged before using the device without the line power supply connected.
4 Connect the battery cable to the battery port, ensure that the battery terminals are not reversed, and place the battery in the battery compartment. Installing the Antenna 1. Power the device off. 2. Connect the indoor antenna to the antenna port as shown in the following figure, and screw on the antenna until it is securely connected. Installing the Power Adapter Under normal operation, the H258C is powered from an A.C. power outlet using the power adapter that is included with the device. Power the device off, connect one end of the power adapter to the DC input port and the other to an A.C. power outlet.
5 Connecting the Device to a Telephone The device provides two telephone ports. The ports provide connection to a single telephone number assigned to the device by your service provider. 1. Unplug your telephone from your wall's telephone jack. 2. Do not plug H258C into your telephone wall jack. Use the battery only when there is a power failure or no power outlet is available. Ensure that the battery has been fully charged before using the device without the A.C power adapter connected.  The telephone cord is not included.  The device and telephone cord are for indoor use only.  Only corded telephones or cordless base stations connected directly to the H258C will receive service.  If the H258C is connected to a cordless phone base station, any extension phones mated with that base station will also receive service.
6 Mounting the Device Horizontal Mounting Place the device on a smooth surface with good ventilation. Place it at least 4 inches away from other objects. Vertical Mounting Fix two screws into the wall.

Hang up or return the phone receiver to its base. Fax Machine Compatibility Your H258C does not support incoming or outgoing fax service. While the H258C adapter has a backup battery, if the landline device requires external power to operate, service (including the ability to make and receive 911 calls) will not be available during a power outage. Please refer to the Troubleshooting section for additional details on accessing voice mail, or if you would like to use a home telephone answering machine as your preferred method to manage your voice mail messages.
9 Home Security Systems Your H258C may not be compatible with certain Home Security systems. Please check with your security system provider to confirm the compatibility requirements of your Home Security system. Assistive Communication Devices TTY (Text Telephony) and TDD (Telecommunications Device for the Deaf) allow individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have speech or language disabilities to communicate by telephone. When a user types his or her conversation on a TTY keyboard, it is transmitted as tones through the telephone. Tones are received by the other person’s TTY, translated into text and displayed on the screen. In order to use the TTY network, you must have a TTY-compatible phone and be in the TTY mode to place or receive calls. Note that most digital wireless devices are TTY-compatible. 4 Troubleshooting Why am I not getting a dial tone on my handset? 1. Ensure that the power adaptor is properly connected and that the power indicator is illuminated. 2. Check to make sure the telephone cable is securely plugged in. 3. Check to make sure you are not roaming outside of the Wireless network. How do I check my voice messages? Dial * 8 6 to access your voice mail messages. Can I create a shortcut to access my voice mail? The availability of a shortcut feature to access voice mail messages depends solely on the capabilities of the corded or cordless phone that you use with H258C. Please refer to the user material that came with your phone. If your home phone does not support a shortcut feature to access voice messages, you may have the option to save your voice mail number into the address book on the handset and assign that number to the #1 speed dial position on your phone's keypad. Remember, you can always dial * 8 6 to access your voice mail.
10 Can I use my telephone answering device instead of voice mail? Yes. Set the answering device to fewer rings in order to pick up the call before voice mail. Alternatively, turn off your home answering machine or increase the number of rings if you would like to use the voice mail service. Please refer to the user material provided by the home answering machine manufacturer for instructions. Does 911 work on this device? Yes, but since the device is designed for an indoor environment, please be prepared to provide your location inside the premises to public service personnel. The GPS chipset embedded in this device will work best if the device is located near a window or other opening. Does this product work during a power outage? While the device has a backup battery, if the landline device requires external power to operate, service (including the ability to make and receive 911 calls) will not be available during a power outage. Service will only be available during a power outage if the home telephone connected to the device does not rely on external power to operate (as is the case with many corded phones). How long is the battery life? Talk time is about 2 hours and standby time is about 36 hours, but the actual values vary with the network environment. How does Caller ID work? Caller ID allows you to see the caller's number before you take the call. Please consult your service provider for further information. How to adjust the volume on my telephone? You can adjust the volume using your telephone connected to the device. Four volume levels are available, with level 1 being the softest and level 4 the loudest. The default setting is level 2. Enter # # 1 n * to select the desired volume level, the n indicates a number ranging from 1 to 4.
11 How to set the TTY mode? Enter the keys # # 5 6 * n # to set the TTY mode. n=0: TTY off mode. The standard voice speaking mode and the listening mode. This is the default setting. n=1: TTY full mode. Transmit and receive the TTY characters. n=2: VCO mode. Receive TTY characters but transmit by speaking into the speaker. n=3: HCO mode. Transmit TTY characters but receive by listening to the receiver. 5 For more help Please visit http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/hotline for recently updated hotline and email address in your country or region. 6 Safety information This section contains important information about the operation of your device.
