•For two separate jacks — Use both 7-foot line cords. Insert one end of the cord with the blue plugs into the

jack labeled L1 OR L1/L2 on the bottom of the telephone. Insert one end of the cord with the clear plugs into the jack labeled L2.

2Attach the base.

Place the cord(s) you have attached to the telephone in the channel on the underside of the phone. Turn the base so the larger end is toward the top of the phone.
