INSTALLATION

3Connect the handset cord.

Plug one end of the coiled handset cord into the jack on the left side of the phone. Plug the other end into the handset, and hang up.

4Connect the power adapter.

Use only the power adapter provided with this product. To obtain a replacement, call 1 800 222–3111.

Plug one end of the power adapter into the jack labeled POWER on the back of the phone. Plug the other end into a standard electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

NOTE: The screen will display POWERFAIL the first time you plug in the phone. Press any key to clear the screen.

5Check for dial tone.

Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone. If you cannot hear a dial tone, turn to IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY.

6Initialization.

As soon as you connect the power cord, the phone runs a quick self-test and the screen displays Initializing.. for about seven seconds. When the test is complete, the phone enters an initial setup mode and the screen displays press PROG to setup your phone. See FEATURE SET UP beginning on page 13.

NOTE: The phone will run through this same initialization anytime it is reconnected to AC power (i.e., after a power failure or when the unit has been unplugged).
