Ooma HD2 Handset User Manual

Package Contents

Getting Started
You’re just a few quick steps from making and receiving calls on your new Ooma HD2 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.

**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 AA 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 willshow 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.

Once the handset is successfully registered, the home screen will be displayed.
Each Ooma Telo supports up to four Ooma HD2 Handsets.

IMPORTANT: The Ooma HD2 Handset is not compatible with the first- generation Ooma Telo Handset. If you wish to switch from using the original Ooma Telo Handset to the new Ooma HD2 Handset, you must first dial ***#*#302**on a phone connected to your Ooma Telo. The Telo will reboot and download a new version of the software. The upgrade will take about 5 minutes to complete.
Once the Telo is back in service, repeat Step 3. The Telo will now connect to your HD2 Handsets. Any older Telo Handsets will no longer work.

• Make sure your batteries are properly installed and sufficiently charged.

My phone doesn’t ring

I don’t hear a dialtone

My handset won’t charge
• Make sure the charging cradle is plugged in.
• Make sure that the handset is placed in the cradle securely.
• Remove the batteries from the handset and re-install them. Replace the batteries with new Ni-MH rechargeable batteries if your current set no longer works.

I hear noise or static
• Bring the handset closer to the Ooma Telo to see if quality improves.

Call quality is not good

• Move closer to the Ooma Telo to see if the audio quality improves.
• Ensure that the handset batteries are fully charged.
