Installing Telephones and Other Equipment

CAUTION: PARTNER phones must be connected with a 2-pair telephone wire. Other equipment must be connected with a 1-pair mounting cord (AT&T D2R mounting cords recommended).

DESK MOUNTING A PARTNER PHONE

Plug one end of the handset cord into the jack on the handset. Plug the other end of the cord into the small jack on the left side of the base.

Plug one end of the telephone mounting cord into the big jack on the base of the phone. Push the cord in place along the channel on the base of the telephone.

If you want to raise the angle of the phone, install the telephone stand. To attach the stand to the base of the phone, gently place the phone upside down with the low end of the phone to your right. Insert the tab on the narrow end of the stand into the right slot on the base of the phone. Then insert the other tab into the left slot, pushing the stand down and slightly inward until the tab locks into place.

Plug the other end of the mounting cord into the modular wall jack.

Test the intercom. Lift the handset, then press an [Intercom] button. You should hear an intercom dial tone. If not see chapter 8, in the System Manager’s Guide (“Phone Has Lights but No Dial Tone”).
