Add new handsets to make your telephone more versatile (see page 49)
Your telephone can accommodate up to four cordless handsets. You can add new handsets (model TL70008, sold separately) anytime, but each must be registered with the telephone base before use.
The handset provided with your TL78108 is automatically registered as handset
1. Additional handsets will be assigned numbers in the order they are registered
(handset 2, handset 3, or handset 4). You can register a maximum of 4 handsets.
The TL78208 has two handsets automatically registered as handsets 1 and 2.
You can register two additional handsets, which will then be assigned numbers
3 and 4.
The TL78308 has three handsets automatically registered as handsets 1, 2 and 3.
You can register one additional handset, which will then be assigned number 4.
The TL78408 has four pre-registered handsets, so no additional handset can be added to the system.

Telephone base installation
Choose a central location close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not connected to a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat surface or mounted on a standard wall plate. For optimum range and better reception, place the telephone base in a high and open location.
Avoid placing the telephone base too close to:
• Communication devices such as: personal computers, computer routers, television sets, VCRs, wireless routers (wireless broadband, wi-fi, or 802.11) or other cordless telephones.
• Excessive heat sources.
• Noise sources such as a window with traffic outside, motors, microwave ovens, refrigerators, or fluorescent lighting.
• Excessive dust sources such as a workshop or garage.
• Excessive moisture.
• Extremely low temperature.
• Mechanical vibration or shock such as on top of the washing machine or work bench.

Battery installation & charging
After installing the battery, it may have enough charge to allow some calls. For best performance, place each handset in the telephone base or a charger and allow to charge for 16 hours before use. You can keep the batteries charged by returning the handsets to the telephone base or chargers after each use. When the battery is fully depleted, a recharge takes about 16 hours. The average talk time on a fully charged battery is about eight hours depending on environmental conditions, and the standby time is approximately three days.
