Important Installation Information
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

has been disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically

1. Plug the telephone line cord into a modular wall jack.
2. Connect the telephone line cord from your
telephone into the jack on the back of the
answering system marked PHONE. (You
don’t have to connect your telephone in
order for the answering system to record
incoming messages.)
3. Connect the small end of the power supply
into the POWER 5V AC jack on the back of the answering system. Plug the other
end into an AC power outlet. The unit performs the initialization, pauses a few
seconds and then beeps when it is ready for setup or to answer calls with the
default greeting and settings.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of personal injury, fire, or damage use
only the 5-277 (white), 5-2 (black) or 5-2778 (black) power
adaptor(s) listed in the user’s guide. This power adaptor is
intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or floor mount
