Testing the Connection
Pick up the handset from the base and press [ ÀDVK@. You should hear a dial tone, and the display should
show TALK.
What if I can’t hear a dial tone?
Check the telephone cord connection on the base.
What if the display doesn’t show TALK?

• Check the battery pack connection in the handset.
• Make sure the battery pack is fully charged.

• Make sure the AC adapter cord is securely connected to the
DC IN 9V jack and a standard power outlet.
• Try resetting the handset (see page 54).
Make a quick test call, and then press [ @ to hang up.
What if there is a lot of static?

Check the sources of interference described in Choosing the
Best Location (see page 5): is the base near any of those?
What if the call doesn’t go through?
Try changing the dialing mode (see the next section).
Note: Make sure you can get a dial tone on any accessory handsets that were packaged with your phone.
10
Changing the dial mode
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These
days, most base networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing. If
your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your phone’s dial mode. If you don’t get a dial tone
or can’t connect to the telephone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:
1) Press >PHQXVHOHFW@.
2) Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the DIAL MODE
submenu.
3) Scroll [ @ to highlight PULSE.
4) Press >PHQXVHOHFW@<RXZLOOKHDUDFRQ¿UPDWLRQWRQH
If you ever need to change the dial mode back to tone dialing, follow the
same procedure, but select TONE in step 2.
NOW YOU ARE READY TO USE YOUR PHONE!
Installing the Belt Clip (Optional Not Supplied)

Insert the tabs on the sides of the belt clip into the holes on either side of the handset.
Press the belt clip down until it clicks into place. (Tug on the clip to make sure it’s secure.)
To remove the belt clip, gently pull the tabs out of the holes, then slide the belt clip off of
the handset.
11
Expanding Your Phone
Adding accessory handsets
Your phone supports a total of ten cordless handsets, including any that were supplied with your phone. You can
now place a fully-featured cordless handset anywhere AC power is available to connect the charging cradle.
• Your phone is compatible with the TCX950 accessory handset.
• For instructions on connecting the charging cradle, see page 7.
• If you purchase any accessory handsets separately, you must register the handsets to the base before you can
use them. (Accessory handsets that come packaged with a base are already registered to that base.)
Registering accessory handsets
When charged, registered handsets display a handset ID number. Handsets that have not been registered display:

ļ
To register a TCX950 accessory handset:

1) Charge the handset for 24 hours.
2) Place the handset in the base cradle for about thirty seconds. HANDSET REGISTERING will appear in the LCD.
3) When the handset has registered to the base, the LCD will display REGISTRATION COMPLETE then show the
handset ID number.
If REGISTRATION FAILED appears in the LCD, please try these steps again.
Note: If a handset has ever been registered to a base, you must reset the handset before you can register it to a
new base. See Resetting the Handset on page 54.

2) Select the HANDSET SETUP or BASE SETUP menu, and then the
KEY TOUCH TONE submenu.
23
Setting Up the Phonebook
Each station has its own separate phonebook that holds up to seventy names and numbers. When a station’s
phonebook is full, the station beeps and shows MEMORY FULL on the display. You cannot add any names and
numbers in that station’s phonebook until you delete some of the existing ones.
You can also use the phonebook entries to store a group of numbers (up to twenty digits) that you may need to enter
once your call connects. This is referred to as chain dialing. (See Chain dialing from the phonebook on page 31.)
Creating Phonebook Entries

To store names and numbers in your phonebook, please follow these steps:
1) With the phone in standby, press [ @ (on the left side of the four-way key).
2) To create a new phonebook entry, press >PHQXVHOHFW@. Select the CREATE

NEW menu. EDIT NAME appears.
3) Enter the name for this entry (EDIT NAME).

Use the keypad to enter a name for this entry; the name can contain up to sixteen characters. (See Entering
Text from Your Phone on page 21 for instructions on entering text.) If you do not want to enter a name for this
entry, your phone will store this entry as <NO NAME>. Press >PHQXVHOHFW@ZKHQ\RXDUH¿QLVKHG
4) Enter the number for this entry (EDIT NUMBER).

Once you have stored a name, EDIT NUMBER appears next. Use the
number keypad to enter the phone number; the phone number can contain
up to twenty digits. If you need the phone to pause between digits when it’s
dialing (for example, to enter an extension or an access code), press [redial/
SDXVH@ to insert a two-second pause. You will see a P in the display. You can
also use more than one pause together if two seconds is not long enough.
Each pause counts as one digit. Press >PHQXVHOHFW@ZKHQ\RXDUH¿QLVKHG
24
5) Assign a personal ring tone for this entry (PERSONAL RING) (Handset only).
You can attach a special ring tone to each phonebook entry on the handsets;
the phone will use this ring tone when this person calls. Use [ @ and [ @ to
select one of the seven different ring tone options (see Selecting a Ring Tone
on page 28 for a complete list of ring tones). As you scroll through the tones,
you will hear a sample of each tone (unless the handset ringer volume is set
to off). When you hear the ring tone you want to use, press >PHQXVHOHFW@. If
you do not want to use a personal ring tone for this phonebook entry, choose
NO SELECTION; the phone will use your standard ring tone setting.

• You lose a handset and purchase a new one.
• You get the message Registration Failed when you try to register the handset.
• You are unable to register any handsets to the base.
• When you register new handsets to the base, the handset IDs do not match. (For example, the handset registers
as “Handset #4” but you only have two handsets.)

Troubleshooting
<RXUSKRQHVKLSVZLWKDVSHFLDOLGHQWL¿FDWLRQFRGHWRFRQQHFWDQ\UHJLVWHUHGKDQGVHWVWRWKLVSDUWLFXODUEDVH
Normally, you will never have to change this handset to base code, but in the rare situation that you suspect another
cordless telephone is using the same code you can change the code.
To change the handset to base code:
1) Reset all of your handsets (see Resetting the Handset on page 54).
2) Re-register each handset (see Registering accessory handsets on page 12).
Changing the Line Mode for Multiple Extensions

Line mode refers to the method that telephones use to signal each other that an extension is in use.
It may be necessary to change the line mode if you have any of the following problems:
• Your phone keeps ringing after someone answers on an extension phone.
• Your answering system doesn’t stop recording when you answer on an extension phone.
• &DOOHU,'GLVSOD\VEULHÀ\DQGWKHQFOHDUV
2) Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the SET LINE MODE submenu.
Traveling Out of Range

When the handset is in standby, the handset will display OUT OF RANGE.
During a call, if you move your handset too far from your base, noise may increase. If you pass the range limit of the

Troubleshooting
Moisture and liquid can damage your cordless phone.

• If the handset or base is exposed to moisture or liquid, but only the exterior plastic housing is affected, wipe off
the liquid, and use as normal.
• If moisture or liquid has entered the plastic housing (i.e. liquid can be heard in the phone or liquid has entered the
handset battery compartment or vent openings on the base), follow the steps below:

IMPORTANT: You must unplug the telephone line while recharging the battery packs to avoid charge interruption.
CAUTION: DO NOT use a microwave oven to speed up the drying process. This will cause permanent
damage to the handset, base and the microwave oven.
