recharge automatically whenever  
the Handset is in the Base Unit  
cradle. The batteries must be  
charged for 16 hours before using  
your phone for the first time.  
1. Choose an area near an electrical  
outlet and a telephone wall jack.  
2. Plug the AC power adapter into an  
electrical outlet and the DC connec-  
tor to the back of the Base Unit.  
6. Connect the telephone line cord(s).  
If you have two lines which are ser-  
viced by one telephone jack (RJ14),  
insert one end of the four wire (black  
tipped) telephone line cord into the  
jack marked L1/L2 at the rear of the  
Base Unit. Plug the other end into a  
telephone wall jack. If your two tele-  
phone lines are each serviced by a  
separate telephone jack (RJ11),  
insert one end of a telephone line  
cord into the jack marked L1/L2 (this  
will be your line 1) and a second  
telephone cord into the jack marked  
L2 (this will be your Line2) at the  
rear of the Base Unit. Plug the other  
end of the telephone cords into the  
appropriate wall jacks. Make sure  
the plugs snap securely into place.  
NOTE: Connect power to the  
Base Unit before placing the  
Handset in the cradle.  
3. Set the TONE/PULSE switch located  
on the underside of the Base Unit. If  
you have touch tone service on your  
phone line, set the switch to TONE.  
If you have rotary service, set the  
switch to PULSE.

WALL MOUNTING  
The Wall Mount adaptor is designed to  
fit on standard Wall Mount plates.  
3. Mount the Base on the wall. Posi-  
tion the Base so the mounting studs  
will fit into the holes on the bottom  
of the Base.Position the power cord  
to extend down the wall the phone  
is to be mounted on. Slide the Base  
down on the mounting studs until it  
locks into place.  
1. Choose a spot near an electrical  
outlet and a telephone jack. Your  
phone requires a modular tele-  
phone jack and a standard electri-  
cal 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.  
4. Connect the telephone cord(s).  
The telephone line cord has a  
snap-in plug at each end. Insert one  
of the plugs into the jack(s) on the  
bottom of the Base. Insert the other  
end of the plug into the wall jack(s).  
2. Position the wall mount adapter  
on the Base. Line up the tabs on  
the wall mount adapter with the  
holes on the bottom of the Base.  
Snap the wall mount adapter firmly  
in place.  
5. Connect the power cord. Plug the  
DC connector into the DC jack at  
the rear of the Base Unit. Plug the  
AC power adaptor into an electri-  
cal outlet.

couraged to try and correct the inter-  
ference by one or more of the following  
measures:

vice, to prevent overloading. The ter-  
mination of a loop may consist of any  
combination of devices subject only to  
the requirement that the sum of the  
Ringer Equivalent Numbers of all de-  
vices not exceed 5.0.

tive, operational and safety re-  
quirements. The Department

be unplugged from the modular jack  
until the problem has been corrected.

that compliance with the above condi-  
tions may not prevent degradation of  
services in some situations.
