Setting upFollow these simple steps to prepare yourphone for use.Finding a location• The location should be close to both a phonejack and a continuous power outlet (one whichis not connected to a switch).• The base and handset should be kept awayfrom sources of electrical noise such as motors,microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.• For better reception, place the base as high aspossible.• The base should be placed in an open area foroptimum range and reception.• If your home has wired alarm equipmentconnected to a phone line, be sure thatinstalling the system does not disable youralarm equipment. If you have questions aboutwhat will disable alarm equipment, contact yourtelephone company or a qualified installer.Connecting your phone1 Connect the base power supply to the back ofthe base. Plug the other end into the wallelectrical outlet.WARNINGUse only the power supply that came with your phone.Using another power supply could seriously damage your phone and invalidate your warranty.Do not connect the telephone line cord until your handset is fully charged. This will prevent the risk of the phone being answered before thebattery pack is charged. Answering the phone before the battery pack is fully charged mayprevent them from reaching their optimumcapacity.2 If you have purchased a model containingmultiple handsets and chargers, connect eachcharger's power supply to the charger base andplug into a wall electrical outlet.[4]UC504DH(DECT160-2) OM 8/17/06 3:37 PM Page 4
