CAUTION: Use only the AC adaptor shipped with your VT 2960. This is a Class 2 AC adaptor, specifically designed for use with your telephone.

3.Set the TONE/PULSE switch, located on the underside of the Base Unit. Select the mode compatible with your local telephone service (for most areas, TONE is the preferred dialing mode).

4.Set the Base Unit RINGER switches to ON or OFF, depending on your

preference.

5.C H A R G E T H E H A N D S E T BATTERY PACK BEFORE USE. The battery pack should be charged for 16 hours before using your phone for the first time.

NOTE: Connect power to the Base Unit before placing the Handset into the cra- dle.

6.Connect the telephone line cords:

If you have 2 telephone lines in- stalled on a single jack (type RJ- 14), use the 2-line cord provided. This is a 4 wire cord . Plug one end of this cord into the jack marked L1 or L1/ L2, located on the back edge of the Base Unit. Plug the other end of this cord into your 2-line wall jack.

If you have 2 separate telephone line jacks (2 RJ-11 jacks), plug one telephone line cord into the jack marked L1 or L1/L2, and another cord into the jack marked L2. In this situation, it does not matter which line cord you choose for each line. Plug the other end of the 2 line cords into your separate wall jacks.

NOTE: For two line operation, you must have 2 telephone lines, each with their own unique phone number. If you have only one telephone line, your VT 2960 will still operate, but only as a single line phone.

7.CHECK FOR DIALTONE. After the battery pack is charged, raise the Base Unit Antenna to an upright position. Then, pick up the Hand- set and press LINE 1 or LINE 2. The LCD should display HANDSET ON 1 (or 2), and you should hear a dial tone. If you do not hear a dial tone, there may be a problem with the telephone jack or the wiring. See IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY.
