Ooma HD2 Handset Quick Start Guide
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 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. 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 on a phone connected to your Ooma Telo. The Telo will reboot and download a new version of 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.
