1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply (i.e., an outlet that is not controlled by a switch).

2) Set the base on a desk or tabletop, and place the
handset in the base unit. Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that
you can unplug the AC adapter easily.

3) Make sure that the charge LED illuminates. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts. After installing the battery pack in the handset, charge your handset for at least 15-20 hours before plugging into the phone line.

4) Once the handset battery pack is fully charged, connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack and to a telephone outlet.

Please make sure that you use the cords supplied with the telephone unit when it was purchased.

TIP*  If your telephone outlet isn't modular, contact your telephone company for
assistance.
