Installation

Installing and Replacing the Batteries

CAUTION: Before opening the battery compartment, be sure that the telephone is not plugged into a wall jack and that any external equipment (e.g., fax machine, extension phone, etc.) is disconnected from the telephone.

Your phone uses 4 AA-size alkaline batteries for receiving and storing Caller ID records and for storing the numbers you use for memory dialing, pulse dialing, and redial.

You will have approximately 90 seconds to replace the batteries before the memories stored are lost. Please read the instructions before replacing the batteries and have the batteries ready to be inserted beforehand.

If the low battery icon appears in the display, you need to replace the batteries. It is important that you replace the batteries as soon as possible in order to maintain Caller ID operation.

If you are not going to use the telephone for more than 30 days, remove the batteries because they may leak and damage the unit.

1)If necessary, disconnect the telephone cord and remove the desk stand. (To remove the desk stand, turn the base over, press in on the tabs and slip them out of the slot.)

2) Release the

latch on the battery compartment and remove the cover.

3) Insert 4 AA- size alkaline batteries as shown on the

diagram in the battery compartment.

4)Snap the battery compartment door back into place and replace the desk stand.

5)Connect the line cord and check your memory locations.

Re-attaching the desk stand

Turn the phone over. Insert the hooks marked DESK into the notches marked DESK. Press in on the tabs and snap the stand into place.

Connecting the Handset

1) Connect one end of

the coiled handset cord to the jack on

the handset.

2) Plug the other end of the coiled

handset cord to the jack on the base.

3) Place the handset in the cradle.

Connecting the Telephone Line

To use two-line features, you must subscribe to two telephone lines from your local phone company. Your phone company might provide these lines on two separate modular jacks or on only one jack (a two-line or four-wire jack); if you have one jack for both lines, the phone company controls which number is line 1.

1)Connect one of the included two-line telephone cords to the LINE 1+2 jack. If your phone company uses a separate phone jack for each line, connect the other telephone cord to the LINE 2/DATA jack.

2)Connect the cord from LINE 1+2 to a two-line phone jack.

OR

If your phone company uses a separate phone jack for each line, connect the cord from LINE 1+2 to the jack for

line 1; then, connect the cord from LINE 2/DATA the jack for line 2.

3)Set the ringer volume for each line (rinGer 1 for line 1 and rinGer 2 for line 2) to the desired loudness.

OFF - Telephone will not ring. LO - Sound will be lowest.

HI - Sound will be loudest.

The unit is properly installed if you pick up the handset and hear the dial tone. Otherwise, recheck all installation steps.

Data Port

If both of your telephone lines are the same modular jack, you can use the LINE 2/DATA jack to connect an auxiliary device, such as a fax machine, computer modem, answering machine, or extension phone. The auxiliary equipment will make and receive calls on line 2 only.

Wall Mounting

Your speakerphone can also be mounted on a wall plate (not included).

To prevent the handset from falling out of the cradle while the phone is hanging on the wall, you must switch both the handset hook and the desk stand to their wall-mount positions.

1) On the front of the base, pull

the handset hook out of the slot. Rotate the hook 180 degrees and flip it from front

to back. Slide it back into the slot.

2) Turn the base over and remove the desk stand.

3)Rotate the stand 180 degrees, and insert the hooks marked WALL into the notches marked WALL. Press in on the tabs and snap the stand into place.

4)Connect the two-line telephone cord to the wall jack and the LINE 1+2 jack on the phone. If desired, wrap any excess cord around the cord hooks as shown.

5)If necessary, connect a cord connected to LINE 2/DATA, and pull it up out of the way.

•Place the mounting slots over the pins on the wall plate, and slide the base down to lock it into place.
