Installation and Setup – 6757i CT Cordless Handset

There are two steps involved in setting up the 57i CT cordless handset. The 

charging cradle needs to be plugged in and the batteries need to be installed in 

the handset.

Charging Cradle

The charging cradle is designed to be placed on a desk or any appropriate flat 

surface. To set up the charging cradle:

1. Plug the modular cord of the power adapter into the jack on the bottom of the 

cradle. Route the cord through the retaining tabs of the molded cord slot.  

Verify the cradle rests on all four feet and doesn’t wobble.

2.  Plug the other end of the power adapter into a non-switched AC outlet. It is 

recommended that the adapter should not be plugged into an electrical 

power bar and should be the only item plugged into the AC outlet.

Battery Installation and Charging

The handset is powered by a nickel metal hydride battery pack. To install and 

charge the battery:

1. Place the battery pack in the battery compartment with the connector wires 

pointing towards the bottom of the handset

2.  Connect the battery terminal wire to the charging pins within the battery 

compartment

3.  Slide the cover of the battery compartment from the bottom of the handset 

until it locks into place

4.  Place the handset, face up, in the charging cradle. The handset should easily 

slide into the charging cradle.  If it does not, check the battery compartment 

cover to ensure it is properly closed.

5.  Check the battery icon on the handset screen to confirm that it is blinking and 

that the battery is properly charging.
