Installation

MODULAR WALL JACK

To install the telephone directly on a modular wall jack :

1.Connect the 15 inch line cord to the LINE CORD jack on the rear of the telephone body.

2.Tuck the line cord into the channel on the cabinet rear.

3.Peel and stick the rubber pads on rear of telephone cabinet in designated areas.

4.Hold the telephone body up next to the modular jack and plug the line cord into this jack.

5.Tuck the excess line cord into the recess provided on the rear of the telephone body.

6.Line up the mounting holes of the telephone body with the mounting studs (screw heads) on the modular jack or wall.

7.Push the telephone body against the wall jack and down until it is held securely in place by the mounting studs.

WALL

If you are not mounting directly onto a modular wall jack, proceed as follows :

1.Install the 7 foot line cord into the LINE CORD jack on the rear of the telephone body. If the desired location is further than 7 foot from a wall jack, you will have to obtain a longer line cord available at most hardware stores.

2.Place the provided TEMPLATE against the wall in the position desired.

3.Mark the wall by poking either a pen or pencil through the indicated spots on the template.

4.If there is no stud at this location, it will be necessary to install the provided wall anchors. Drill a small pilot hole at the marked locations. Tap the anchors into the holes. Then insert screws, but DO NOT TIGHTEN. Leave the screw heads protruding about 1/4 inch.

5.If there is a stud at this location, simply install the two screw into the stud. REMEMBER. Leave screw head protruding.

6.Telephone is then mounted according to procedure detailed in MOUNTING TO MODULAR PLUG.

NOTE: If you encounter difficulty fitting the telephone body onto the screw, or the telephone wobbles when installed, either tighten or loosen then screw to adjust.

MAKING AND ANSWERING CALLS

To get a dial tone or answer an incoming call, lift the handset.

To hang up, either replace the handset or simply press the HANDSET CRADLE.

IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY

If you are having problems with your telephone, try the following suggestion.

NO DIAL TONE

1.Make sure that all plugs are connected properly. Check the connections at the wall jack, the telephone cabinet and handset.

2.Try another modular jack within your home which you know to be working properly.

CALLS CANNOT BE DIALED OR DIALED SLOWLY

Check to make sure that the DIAL MODE switch is in the correct position for the type of service available in your area.

TELEPHONE DOES NOT RING

Check that RINGER CONTROL switch is not set to OFF.

If there are several telephones connected to the same line, try disconnecting some of the other telephones. Having too many telephones connected to the same line can cause low ringer volume or poor sound quality during calls.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Avoid rough treatment to the telephone. Do not drop the handset and always replace it gently onto the cradle.

Clean only with a cloth slightly dampened with water only. Do not use detergent, waxes, solvent, spray, alcohol or excessive water.

LAST NUMBER REDIALING

To Install Wall Anchors

If the location you have chosen to mount your telephone is a hollow wall without any beams you will have to use the included wall anchors.

To install, place the template against the wall where you wish to place your telephone. Mark the wall at the location of the two + on the template by pushing a pen or pencil through the template. Drill a 1/4" hole at each mark.

Push the wall anchor into the hole and gently tap until it is flush with the wall.

With a phillips screwdriver, begin tightening the screw.

CLOCKWISE. Stop turning when you feel firm resistance.

Turn the screw counter clockwise until the screw head is about 1/4" out of the wall.

Install the 7 foot line cord at back of the telephone . Adjust the switches to your preference. Position the line cord through the slot on the bottom of the cabinet. Line up the holes with the two screws. Place the telephone onto these two screws and gently pull down.

This may require a little fine tuning until the phone is seated securely.
