7.Press and lift out the handset holder, turn it upside down so its tabbed edge faces up, then slide it back down into its slot.
Note: To mount the phone directly on a wall, you need two screws (not supplied) with heads that fit into the keyhole slots on the bracket. Follow the steps under “On a Wall Plate or Wall” on Page 6 then apply these additional instructions for placement on a wall.
1.Drill two holes 315/16 inches (100 mm) apart. Thread a screw into each hole, letting the heads extend about 5/16 inch (8 mm) from the wall.
2.Align the bracket’s keyhole slots with the mounting screws and slide the corded phone downward to secure it.
Connecting the Corded Handset
Plug one end of the supplied coiled cord into the modular jack on the corded phone’s side, then plug the other end into the modular jack on the corded handset.
Installing the Corded Phone’s Batteries
Your corded phone requires 4 AAA batteries (not supplied) for Caller ID (CID) memory backup in case of power failure. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
•Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
•Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
Follow these steps to install the batteries.
1.Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screw in the battery compartment on the bottom of the corded phone. Lift up the cover.
2.Install the batteries according to the polarity symbols (+ and
3.Replace the cover and secure it with the screw.
When there is no battery installed or the batteries are
low, 
flashes on the display. Replace the batteries.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the corded phone with batteries for a month, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
INSTALLING THE CORDLESS PHONE
You can place the cordless phone’s charging cradle on a desk or table. Use the supplied 12V 200mA AC/DC adapter to power the charging cradle.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power source that
!supplies 12V DC and delivers at least 200 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive
and its plug must fit the charging cradle’s DC 12V 200mA jack. The supplied adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the charging cradle or the adapter.
•Always connect the AC/DC adapter to the charging cradle before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the charging cradle.
Plug the supplied AC/DC adapter’s barrel plug into the charging cradle’s DC 12V 200mA jack, then plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
Connecting, Charging and Replacing the Cordless Handset’s Battery Pack
The cordless handset comes with a rechargeable nickel- cadmium battery pack. You must connect the battery pack and charge it for at least 12 hours before you use the phone for the first time.
1.Slide off the battery compartment cover.
2.Unfasten the retainer strap and lift the battery pack out of the compartment.
3.Plug the battery pack’s connector into the socket in the compartment (the connector fits only one way), then replace the battery pack and fasten the retainer strap.
4. Replace the cover.
