HD3 Handset Quick Start Guide

Getting Started

You’re just a few quick steps from making and receiving calls on your new Ooma HD3 Handset . This handset is the perfect companion to the Ooma Telo™—you’ll be able to access all Ooma features and even unlock new functionality!
Before you begin, please make sure that your Ooma Telo is  installed and operating properly, as your new handset cannot be set up without a functioning Telo .

Package Contents

STEP 1 Insert Batteries

Remove the battery cover located on the back of the handset by sliding it away from the center of the device . Insert the two rechargeable AAA batteries, making sure that you align the flat end against the springs . Replace the battery cover by sliding it in the opposite direction.

** WARNING:** If you need to replace the batteries included with your handset, use only rechargeable Nickel Metal-Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries . Other types of batteries may damage the handset or create a risk of fire .

STEP 2 Charge the Handset

Plug the AC adapter into a power outlet and then connect the AC adapter cable to the charging cradle. Put the handset on the cradle.
When the handset is on its cradle, it will show a lightning bolt in the battery icon when it is charging.

We recommend that you leave the handset on the cradle for 30 minutes before proceeding to the next step . The handset requires 10 hours to fully charge.

STEP 3 Register the Handset

Press the Page key on your Ooma Telo and hold it down for three seconds to activate registration mode . When the handset detects the Telo, press the YES soft key to proceed .
