MORE INFORMATION

Handset Battery
The handset battery is a nickel-cadmium (NiCad) battery. Install it in the bottom rear panel of the handset.

Charging Cradle with Attached AC Power Adapter
The charging cradle recharges the handset battery for up to eight hours of continuous talk time. When you place the handset in the cradle, the green Charging light turns on.

The base station connects the Microsoft Phone System to your telephone service and your computer. If you misplace the handset, you can press the Page button on top of the base station to make the hand set ring so you can locate it. You can also use the base station to set the security codes for the handset, and to select tone or pulse dialing. The telephone jack, the AC power adapter, and the serial cable all connect to the base station.

AC Power Adapter for Base Station
The AC power adapter for the base station plugs into your wall outlet to supply power to the base station.

Telephone Cord

If you want to connect both the Microsoft Cordless Phone System and the modem in your computer to the same telephone jack on the wall, you can use the line splitter to plug both telephone cords into the same telephone jack.

You can use the serial plug adapter to connect the 9-pin serial cable attached to the Base station to a 25-pin serial port on your computer.
