This series features AutoTalkand AutoStandby. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just removing

the handset from the cradle so you don't have to waste time pushing buttons. AutoStandby allows you to

hang up by simply returning the handset to the cradle.

To protect you against mis-billed calls that might result from your phone being activated by other

equipment, this series has Random Codedigital security, which automatically selects one of about

130,000 digital security codes for the handset and base.

Digital Spread Spectrum Technology uses a wider frequency band than standard digital transmissions. The

result is a more secure conversation with the clarity of digital sound, extended range, and minimal

interference from other cordless phones.

IntegriSoundBuilt in sound quality which provides life-like conversations.

With DirectLinkmode, you can use two or more handsets as radio transceivers (walkie-talkies).

B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset

The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery recharges

automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit.

1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the

finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover

downward to remove.

2) Plug the battery connector (red & black wires) into the

jack inside the battery compartment. (The connector

notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one way).

Match the wire colors to the polarity label in the

battery compartment, connect the battery and listen for

a click to insure connection.

3) Make sure you have a good connection by gently pulling

on the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the

battery jack will remain in place.

4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset and

slide it upwards until it clicks into place.

(BT-446) rechargeable

battery pack supplied

C. Connect the base unit and charge the handset

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).

• Place the base unit close to the

AC outlet to avoid long extension cords.

2) Place the handset in the base unit with the keypad facing forward.

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.

4) Charge your handset at least 15-20 hours before

plugging into the phone line.

5) Once the handset battery pack is fully charged,

connect the telephone line cords to the TEL LINE

jack and to a telephone outlets.

If your telephone outlet isn't modular,

contact your telephone company for

assistance.

•Use only the supplied

AD-800 AC adapter.

Do not use any other

AC adapter.

•Do not place the power

cord where it creates a

trip hazard or where it

could become chafed

and create a fire or

electrical hazard.
