Connecting the Handset, Setting the Ringer

2.Plug one end of the supplied short modu- lar cord into the LINE jack at the back of the base. Route the modular cord through the strain relief channel.

3.Plug the cord’s other end into the wall plate jack, then align the base’s keyhole slots with the wall plate studs and slide the phone downward to secure it.

4.Press and lift up the handset holder, rotate it 180°, then snap it back so it holds the handset.

To mount the phone directly on a wall, in addi- tion to the preceding steps, you need two screws (not supplied) with heads that fit into the keyhole slots on the bottom of the base.

Drill two holes 315/16 inches (100 mm) apart. Then thread a screw into each hole, letting the heads extend about 5/16 inches (8mm) from the wall.

Substitute the long modular cord for the short cord mentioned in step 2.

Connecting the Handset

Plug one end of the coiled cord into the modu- lar jack on the handset. Then connect it to the jack on the left side of the telephone base.

Note: Your local RadioShack store sells a va- riety of longer coiled handset cords, which are especially useful when you mount the phone on a wall.

Using Handset Volume Control

Use the handset’s rotary control to adjust the handset volume to the desired level.

Using Multi-Pitch Control

Slide the 1/2/3 pitch switch to select a different ringer tone.

Setting the Ringer

If you do not want to hear the phone ring, set RINGER to OFF. You can still make calls with the ringer off, and you can answer calls if you hear another phone on the same phone line ring. The bar-shaped ring indicator flashes when the phone rings, even when the ringer is off. If you want to hear the phone ring, set RINGER to HI or LO.

Setting the Dialing Mode

Set the TONE/PULSE switch on the back of the phone for the type of service you have. If you are not sure which type you have, do this sim- ple test.

1.Set TONE/PULSE to TONE. Lift the hand- set and listen for a dial tone.

2.Press any number except 0. If your phone requires that you dial an access code (9, for example) before you dial an outside number, do not press the access code number either.

If the dial tone stops, you have touch- tone service. Leave the setting to TONE.

If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service. Set TONE/PULSE to PULSE.

Using Special Tone Services

Some computer services, such as alternate long distance and bank-by-phone, require tone signals for communications.

If you have pulse service, you can still use special tone service by following these steps.

1.Connect to the special service using pulse dialing.

2.When the special service answers, change the TONE/PULSE switch to TONE,

or press * to temporarily switch to tone dialing.
