SELECTING A LOCATION
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS AND
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS brochure. Here are some
important guidelines you should consider:
The location should be close to
both a phone jack and a
continuous power outlet. (A
continuous power outlet is an AC
outlet which does not have a
switch to interrupt its power.)
Keep the base and handset away
from sources of electrical noise
such as motors and fluorescent
lighting.
Be sure there is sufficient space to rotate the base antenna
fully vertical.
The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop or mounted on a standard
wall plate.
You should charge your handset for 15-20 hours before connecting the
phone line.
If your second phone line has a separate jack, place your phone so you
can access both jacks.

t Direct wall plate mounting
If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can
mount your phone directly to the wall. Before
doing this, consider the following:
l Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting
location, that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.
l Try to mount your phone within 10-15 feet of a working phone
jack to avoid excessive cord lengths.
l Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of
the base and handset.
l Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring
devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.
1. Insert two mounting screws into the wall,
(with their appropriate anchoring device),
3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 3/16 of
an inch between the wall and screwheads
for mounting the phone.

USING CALLER ID
You must subscribe to Caller ID from your phone company
to use this feature.
Setting up Caller ID options
There are three Caller ID options available; they are AutoTalk, CIDCW,
and Area Code.
AutoTalk allows you to answer the phone without pressing line 1 or
line 2. If the phone rings when AutoTalk is on, simply remove the
handset from the base. If the handset is off the base, press any key. The
phone automatically answers the call. If the phone rings when
AutoTalk is off, you must press line 1 or line 2 to answer the call.
This option is useful for screening calls.
CIDCW (Caller ID with Call Waiting) performs the same as regular
Caller ID on a call waiting number. You must subscribe to CIDCW
from your phone company to use this feature.
Area Code allows you to program your 3-digit area code number.
When reviewing Caller ID messages, you will see only a seven digit
number for calls received from inside your area code. For calls from
outside your area code, you will see a full 10-digit number.
If your calling area requires 10-digit dialing,
do not program this option.
