could become chafed

and create a fire or

electrical hazard.

•Use only the supplied AD-310 AC adapter. Do not

use any other AC adapter.

•Connect the AC adapter to a continuous

power supply.

•Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that

you can unplug the AC adapter easily.

If your telephone outlet isn’t

modular, contact your telephone

company for assistance.

Most phone systems use tone dialing which sends DTMF tones through the phone lines.

However some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as in rural areas. The default

setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system, set the mode as follows:

1)Press and hold

ffllaasshh

until you hear a confirmation tone.

2)To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press

Or to set the dial mode for tone dialing, press */

ttoonnee

A confirmation tone sounds to indicate the setting is complete.

•If you are not sure of your dialing system, set for tone dialing. Make a trial call.

If the call connects, leave the setting as is, otherwise set for pulse dialing.

•If your phone dialing system requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF

tones for certain situations during a call, you may "switch-over" to tone dialing.

(Refer to "Tone Dialing Switch-over" on page 13.)

Modular

Make sure your battery

pack is fully charged

before choosing the dial

mode.

5)Connect the telephone line cord to the

TTEELLLLIINNEE

jack and a telephone outlet once the handset is

fully charged.

After installing the battery pack in the handset, charge your handset at least

1122--1155hhoouurrssbbeeffoorreepplluuggggiinnggiinnttootthheepphhoonneelliinnee. Once the handset battery pack is

fully charged, connect the telephone line cord to the base and telephone wall outlet.
