GETTING STARTED

WALL MOUNTING

You cannot select TONE for one line and PULSE for the other. Both will be either TONE or PULSE.

CHARGE THE HANDSET BAlTERY

PACK BEFORE USE.

The battery pack recharges automaticallywhenever the handset is in the base unit. The batteries must be charged for 24 hours before using your phone for the first time.

Fill in the telephone number card on the base unit. To remove the window, insert the tip of a paper clip or pen into the hole, and gently flex the window.

Check for a dial tone. After the batteries are charged, pick up the handset. Now press LlNE 1 on the handset. The LlNE 1 indicator should light up on the LCD, and you should hear a dial tone. If not, see 'INCASE OF DIFFICULTY'on page 30.

CAUTION:

1.Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

2.Never install telephonejacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

3.Never touch uninsulatedtelephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

4.Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

WALL INSTALLATION USING MOUNTING SCREWS PROVIDED

Tools You Will Need: A hammer, a nail, a pencil or ballpoint pen, a Phillips head (+) screwdriver, and the Wall Mounting Template included in the back of this booklet.

1.Choose a spot near an electrical outlet and a telephone jack. Your phone requires a modular telephone jack and a standard electrical outlet (120v AC). The power cord is six feet long; make sure there is an electrical outlet within reach of the base.The outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. If the switch is ever turned off, the phone will not operate.

2.Choose and mark the mounting position.

The mountingscrews should screw into a wooden stud within the wall- they will not hold securely in wallboard alone. Locate a wall stud in the area where you want to install your telephone. Use the Wall Mounting Template and a pencil to mark the screw positions on the wall over the stud (Figure 1). Put the template aside.

3.Install the mounting sleeves and screws.

Start the screw holes by lightly tapping a nail into the marks you made on the wall. Remove the nail from the wall. Now slip the mounting sleeves onto the screws as shown, with the smaller end of the sleeve

toward the screw head. Insert the screws into the holes you started. Tighten the screws until the large end of the mounting sleeve is flat against the wall

(Figure 2).
