INSTALLATION  
INSTALLATION  
The instructions below are for both table and wall installation.  
FOR WALL MOUNTING ONLY  
Turn the base over and you will see a wedged, triangular-shaped plastic piece  
that is attached to the bottom of the base. This is the mounting bracket. For  
wall mounting, the mounting bracket must be attached to the base so that the  
thickest end of the bracket is facing the floor (in wall mount position).  
1
Choose a spot near an electrical outlet and a telephone jack.  
This phone requires a modular telephone jack and a standard electrical  
outlet (110v AC).  
The outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch; if the switch is  
turned off, operation can be affected.  
To wall mount the phone:  
Remove the mounting bracket by pushing in the two tabs at the large  
end of the bracket and lifting the bracket from the base.  
2
Install the handset battery.  
Remove the battery compartment cover on the handset by pressing on  
the indentation and sliding the cover downward.  
Plug the power cord into the jack labeled POWER  
on the back of  
the base. Guide the power cord from the jack through the straight  
channel on the bottom of the base, so that any excess cord extends  
straight out of the channel end farthest from the jack. Wrap any  
excess cord around the two crescent-shaped tabs on the underside of  
the mounting bracket but be sure to leave enough cord free to extend  
to an electrical outlet.  
Plug the battery pack cord into the handset, insert the battery pack and  
rest the cords on top of the battery pack.  
Replace the cover by sliding it on its track up over the battery  
compartment until it snaps firmly in place.  
3
Set the handset ringer switch.  
Set the switch on the side of the handset to ON so the handset will ring.  
When this switch is set to OFF, the handset will not ring.  
Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the jack on the base.  
Guide the cord from the jack through the curved channel on the  
bottom of the base. Wrap any excess cord around the two crescent-  
shaped tabs on the underside of the mounting bracket but be sure to  
leave enough cord free to extend to the wall jack. Take the end of the  
cord and insert it through the rectangular-shaped hole in the center of  
the bracket.  
NOTE: If you set the ringer switch to OFF, the handset battery will last  
longer. However, when the ringer switch is set to OFF, you will always  
*
need to press  
on the handset to answer a call, even if the handset  
has been in the base. When the ringer switch is set to OFF, the ANS SYS  
light will not flash to indicate new messages.  
Place the bracket back on the base so that the thickest end of the  
bracket will be closest to the floor when in wall mount position.  
4
Connect the telephone line and power cords.  
CAUTION: Use only the AC power adapter supplied with this  
telephone. Power Supply HADW-1; Input: 120V AC, 60Hz, 16 W;  
Output: 12V DC, 900mA  
Plug the end of the telephone line cord into the modular phone jack  
on the wall. Make sure the plug snaps firmly into place.  
FOR TABLE INSTALLATION ONLY  
Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the jack on the base. Plug  
the other end of the line cord into a modular phone jack. Make sure  
the plug snaps firmly in place.  
Plug the power cord into the jack labeled POWER  
the base. Plug the AC adapter on the power cord into an  
electrical outlet.  
on the back of  
NOTE: When the system is first connected to AC power, it will go  
through an automatic initialization routine. After this routine is completed,

OPERATING RANGE  
MEMORY  
This cordless integrated telephone answering system operates at the maximum  
power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so,  
the handset and base can communicate over only a certain distance—which  
can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the con-  
struction of your home or office.  
This cordless answering system can store 10 different phone numbers that you  
can dial just by pressing  
and one of the number buttons.

Press  
NOTE: For best performance, point the base antenna upwards, as shown  
in “INSTALLATION.”  
.
*
If the handset is moved to a point where the base and handset can no longer  
communicate, you are “out of range.” When you try to make a call, the handset  
will sound two short beeps to indicate that you are out of range.  
.
Press any number button (0-9) for the memory location where the number  
is to be stored.  
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not ring—

NOTE: You may choose to store emergency numbers in memory  
locations. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for customer  
reliance upon this feature.  
*
Changing Channels  
This cordless telephone has an advanced 25-channel AutoSelect feature that  
minimizes the chance of interference. Every time you answer or make a call,  
the AutoSelect feature searches for and selects a clear channel.  
Storing a Pause in a Memory Number  
If this phone is connected to a switchboard, you might have to dial an access  
number (usually 9) to get an outside line. You can store the access number and  
a pause in the dialing sequence; the pause allows the switchboard enough time  
to get an outside line dial tone.  
In the unlikely event that you hear noise or interference while using handset:

To insert a pause in a stored number:  
When storing a number in memory, press and hold down the number button  
that comes before the pause until you hear the second beep. This inserts a 1.5  
second pause after that digit. If you hold the number button down longer, you  
will hear more beeps as additional pauses are stored.

This cordless answering system allows you to retrieve messages and operate  
other functions even when you are away from your home or office. In addition,  
this answering system has the advantage of allowing you to access your  
answering machine not only when you are away from your home or office,  
but also when you are using the cordless handset anywhere in or around your  
home or office (as long as you are within range of the base).  
Accessing the Answering System from a  
Touch Tone Phone  
1
Dial your phone number.  
NOTE: Remember that if you set the RING SELECT feature to TOLL  
SAVER, the system will answer after two rings if there are new messages  
and after four rings if there are no new messages. If you hear the third ring  
you can hang up and save the cost of the call.  
*
This system has been designed to make access to the answering system’s  
features as easy as possible. Whether you are using the cordless handset or  
calling from a touch tone phone outside your home, you press the same buttons  
in the same order on either phone. The only difference between using the  
cordless handset and another touch tone phone is making the initial contact  
with the base answering system.  
2
When the answering system answers and the outgoing announcement  
begins to play, enter your three-digit remote access code.  
The system will announce the number of messages you have (for example:  
“You have three messages.”), and then beep twice to indicate that it is ready  
to accept a command.  
Once you have established contact with the answering system, you can perform  
a series of operations.  
If it does not receive any instructions in a few seconds, the system will auto-  
matically play all of your messages. You can allow the system to play your  
messages, or you can use the number buttons on the phone to direct the system  
to perform any of the operations shown below:

time. It is impossible to overcharge the batteries.  
If the battery pack will still not charge, replace it with Replacement  
Battery 4051.  
If you get a low-battery signal even after 10 hours of charging, the battery  
should be replaced.  
If the above suggestions do not solve the problem, try resetting the

IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY  
IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY  
If you hear noise or interference when using the phone  
If this answering system does not work properly, try the following suggestions  
before seeking repair assistance.  
You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.  
Press  
to change to another of the 25 channels available. If the noise  
If messages are incomplete  
is exceptionally loud, move closer to the base before changing channels.  
If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the  
system disconnects the call after three minutes.  
If the caller pauses for more than seven seconds, the system stops  
recording and disconnects the call.  
If the system’s memory becomes full during a message, the system stops  
recording and disconnects the call.  
Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can  
sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the base to  
another outlet.  
The layout of your home or office may be limiting the operating range.  
Try moving the base to another location, preferably on an upper floor.  
If you have difficulty hearing messages  
Check the VOLUME setting.  
If the phone does not ring when you receive a call  
Make sure the handset ringer switch is set to ON.  
If the system does not answer after correct number of rings  
Make sure the telephone line cord is connected firmly to the base and the  
telephone jack. Make sure the power cord is plugged into an outlet not  
controlled by a wall switch.  
Make sure that the two-digit message counter in the base is on. If it is off,  
press  
If TOLL SAVER is on, the number of rings changes from four to two  
when you have new messages waiting. See “Ring Select.”

.
You might be too far from the base. Move closer to the base.  
You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line to  
allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of the other phones.  
If the memory is full or the system is off, the system answers after  
10 rings.  
If you hear other calls while using the phone  
Press  
to change to another channel.  
If CL appears in Message Counter  
If the clock stops running because of a power failure, CL blinks in the Message  
Counter to indicate that the clock should be reset. See “Setting the Clock.”  
Disconnect the base from the telephone jack, and plug in a corded  
telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your  
wiring or local service. Call your local phone company.  
If the system does not respond to remote commands from a remote  
touch tone phone  
If your telephone misdials or you don’t hear the other person right away  
It might take a few seconds for your handset to find a good connection to  
the phone system. While it is searching, the PHONE light blinks rapidly.  
Do not start dialing until the PHONE light is on steadily.  
Make sure you are calling from a touch tone phone. When you dial a  
number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks instead, the phone is not  
a touch tone telephone.  
If you have dial pulse (rotary) service, you’ll need to set the dial mode.  
The answering system may not detect the Remote Access Code while your  
announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announcement is over  
before entering the code.  
Make sure you enter your Remote Access Code correctly.  
There may be noise or interference on the phone line you are using. Press  
keys firmly.
