Installing the Phone

Connecting the Telephone Line

Choose the best location to install your telephone. Your telephone should be placed on a level surface, such as a desk or table top.

1. Plug one end of the straight telephone line cord into the PHONE LINE jack on the base.

2. Plug the other end into a wall jack.

3. Plugoneendofthecoiled handsetcordintothejackon the handset.

4.Plug the other end into the HANDSET jack on the back of the base.

5.Place the handset on the base cradle.

6.Set the RINGER and DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS switches on the back of the base to the desired settings.

7.Set the VOL switch on the side of the handset to the desired setting.

Connecting the Electrical Power

1.Plug one end of the power supply cord into the back of the base.

2.Plug the other end into an electrical outlet.

CAUTION: To reduce risk of personal injury, fire, or damage use only the 5-2769 power adaptor listed in the user’s guide. This power adaptor is intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or floor mount position.

“No Worry” Battery Backup

This telephone is equipped with a memory holding system powered by a customer-installed 9-volt alkaline battery (not included).

When electrical power is interrupted, or the electrical line is unplugged, the battery operates the clock to retain the time of day and alarm settings in memory. When the unit is running on battery power, the digital display does not light up; however, if wake time occurs during the power interruption, the alarm buzzer sounds (regardless of the type of alarm tone selected)

if remaining battery power is adequate. Normal operation resumes after electrical power is restored.

Install the backup battery as follows:

1.

Remove the battery compartment cover

Battery clip -

located on the bottom of the base.

2.

Connect a fresh 9-volt alkaline battery

-

(not included). Interlock the large and

 

Battery

 

 

small contacts on the battery clip and the

 

 

 

 

 

battery. Once connected, place the battery

 

 

 

inside the battery compartment.

 

 

3.

Replace the battery compartment cover.

 

 

NOTE: Alkaline (NEDA 1604A) batteries are recommended. Carbon-zinc (NEDA 1604) batteries may be used but memory holding time will be substantially reduced. Memory holding time for a fresh alkaline battery is approximately 3 months (if Wake System is not activated), which should take care of short, nuisance-type AC power failures.

To preserve battery life, the phone should remain plugged into an AC electrical outlet. As the battery gets older, its voltage drops and memory may be lost. Be sure to replace the battery periodically. A backup battery is not included with this telephone.

NOTE: If battery is not installed:

a)All memory will be lost if the unit is unplugged for more than 60 seconds.

b)The clock will stop running during a power outage period but will start running when power resumes. The clock will blink to indicate that the time may not be correct.

IMPORTANT: If storing this unit for more than 30 days, remove the battery.
