Wall Installation
1. Choose a spot near an electrical outlet and a telephone jack.
Your phone requires a modular telephone jack and a standard electrical outlet (110v AC). The outlet
should not be controlled by a wall switch- if the switch is ever turned off; the phone will not operate
properly.
2. Install the base batteries.
Open the battery door on the bottom of the unit by pulling on the tab. Insert the batteries, making sure
that they are put in correctly, then close the door.
The batteries are used to save your messages in the event of a power failure.
When the base batteries need to be replaced, the LO BATT BASE Light on the base will blink.
3. Set DIAL MODE switch.
Set the DIAL MODE switch on rear of the base unit to TONE if you have touch tone service, or
PULSE if you have dial pulse (rotary) service. To change dial mode during a call, see Temporary
Tone.
4. Set the RINGER switch (ON, OFF).
Set the RINGER switch on the base unit to ON so the phone will ring. When the switch is set to OFF,
the phone will not ring.
5. Fill in the telephone number card.
On the handset, insert a pointed object into the hole in the window, and gently pry up the window until
it pops out. Write your phone number on the card and replace the window.
6. Install the flexible handset antenna.
The flexible handset antenna has a metal end with a threaded tip. Slide the metal tip straight down into
the hole in the top of the handset. When you feel the antenna reach the bottom of the hole, turn the
antenna clockwise slightly to make sure that the tip is set in place, and then continue to screw the
antenna clockwise until the rubber is snug against the top of the handset. Do not overtighten the
antenna.
7. Base unit: Remove the window over the telephone number card.
Insert a pointed object into the hole in the window, and gently pry up the window until it pops out.
Now remove the telephone number card and set the card and window aside.
8. Remove and reverse the handset hook.
You must now reverse the handset hook so it can hold the handset in the base. In the opening behind
the telephone number card you will see a dot marked PRESS. With a pencil or pen point, press on the
dot and push upward to release the hook from its slot.
Now remove the hook and turn it so the rounded edge is pointing up, and the word PRESS is facing
you. Slide the hook back down into the slot until it snaps into place. The rounded edge should now be
sticking out.
9. Choose and mark the mounting position.
The mounting screws should screw into a wooden stud within the wall – they will not hold securely in
wallboard alone. Locate a wall stud in the area where you want to install your telephone. Use the
Wall-Mounting Template and a pencil to mark the screw positions on the wall over the stud. Put the
template aside.
10. Install the mounting sleeves and screws.
Start the screw holes by lightly tapping a nail into the marks you made on the wall. Remove the nail
from the wall. Now slip the mounting sleeves onto the screws as shown, with the larger end of the
