Connections and Setup

Installing the Phone

1. Choose an area near an electrical outlet and

telephone wall jack. Your phone should be placed

on a level surface, such as a table top or desk.

2. Install 4 AAA-size alkaline batteries (not

included) for back up power in the event of a

power failure.

CAUTION: Unit will not work if electrical power

fails and batteries are depleted or not installed.

Therefore it is important that you replace them

when “REPLACE BATTERY” shows in display in order

to maintain unit operation. As a precaution, you

may want to write down any stored information you

do not want erased.

• Open the battery compartment door located on

the bottom of the phone by inserting a ﬂathead

screw driver into the battery door latch area and

gently tilting the screw driver away from the

battery door to release the latch.

• Insert the batteries as shown on the diagram

inside the battery compartment.

• Snap the battery compartment door back into

place.

IMPORTANT: If you are not going to use the telephone for

more than 30 days, remove the batteries because they can

leak and damage the unit.

3. Connect the AC power adaptor to an electrical

outlet and the plug connector to the back of the

base.

ꢄ

Connections and Setup

CAUTION: To reduce risk of personal injury, ﬁre, or damage use only the

5-2495A power adaptor listed in the user’s guide. This power adaptor is

intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or ﬂoor mount position.

4. Connect the telephone line cords:

ꢁ

ꢀ

If you have two telephone lines installed on a single jack, plug one end

of the straight telephone line cord into the jack marked Line 1+2 on

the back of the base. Plug the other end into the 2-line wall jack.

If you have two separate telephone line jacks, plug one telephone line

cord into the jack marked Line 1+2 and another cord into the jack

marked Line 2. Plug the other end of each line cord into separate wall

jacks.

NOTE: To use two line, you must have two telephone lines with unique telephone

numbers. If you only have one telephone line, this phone will still operate, but

only as a single line telephone.

Connections and Setup

5. Connect the handset cord:

Plug one end of the coiled handset cord into the side of the base and

the other end into the jack on the handset, and place the handset in

the cradle.

6. Check for a dial tone. Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone. If

you hear a dial tone, the phone is properly installed.

Attaching the Desktop Pedestal

1. Turn the phone over so that the bottom of the base is facing up

and the end with data port and line jacks is pointing away from

you.

2. Turn the desktop pedestal so that the side with four rectangle

rubber feet is facing you.

3. Insert the tabs on the pedestal into the two lower slots on the

bottom of the base, then push the pedestal downward until the

tabs on the top of the pedestal snap (lock) into place.

Connections and Setup

Data Port

This phone has a DATA PORT jack to connect an auxiliary phone device, such as a fax

machine, computer modem, answering machine, or even a cordless phone.

The DATA PORT switch on the back of the phone controls the DATA PORT jack so you can

choose Line 1 or Line 2.

Use the DATA PORT jack to hook up your fax machine, for example, and then set the DATA

PORT switch to 2 in order to receive faxes on the phone number for Line 2.

If you are talking to someone on Line 2 and want them to fax something to you, change

the DATA PORT switch to 1 and give him the phone number for Line 1. Your fax machine

can now receive calls on Line 1.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to switch the fax machine back to the normal line when you are done because

outside callers who may not know that you have multiple lines will not be able to reach your fax

machine if they dial the normal fax line.

Wall Mounting the Phone

1. Remove the desktop stand from the base of the phone if it is already attached to the

base unit.

2. Thread the AC adaptor cord through the cord channel on the bottom of the phone.
