1 Reverse the handset tab.
(This tab holds the handset when you hang up.) Hold
down the switchhook, and slide the tab up and out of
its slot. Turn the tab so that the end with the “hook” is
up. Then insert the tab back into its slot.
2 Remove the base.
Push in on the two tabs at the large end of the base,
and lift the base off the unit.
3 Install the batteries.
•
Push in on the two tabs on the battery
compartment door, and remove it.
• Insert four AA batteries. Always use four new
batteries.
• Replace the battery compartment door.
NOTE: The batteries provide backup power, allowing
you to make calls using the handset in case of a power
failure. When battery power is low, the LOW BATTERY
light goes on. Replace the batteries promptly.
4 Wrap the line cord around the posts on the
inside of the base. Leave at least three inches free at
each end of the line cord (Figure 1).
5 Attach the base.
Turn the base so the larger end of the base is toward
the bottom of the telephone. Attach the base by
inserting the tabs into the slots indicated. Push down
on the large end of the base to lock it into place
(Figure 2).
6 Connect the line cord to the telephone.
Plug one end of the line cord into the jack labeled
TEL
LINE on the bottom of the phone (Figure 3).
7 Connect the line cord to the wall jack, and
mount the phone on the wall.
Plug the free end of the line cord into the modular
wall jack. Make sure the cord snaps firmly into place.
Place the phone on the wall jack mounting studs and
pull down until it is held securely (Figure 4).
8 Connect the handset to the telephone.
Plug the coiled cord into the handset jack on the side
of the phone. Plug the other end of the coiled cord
into the handset, then hang up.
9 Connect the power cord.
Plug the smaller end of the power cord into the jack
labeled
POWER on the back of the system. Plug the
power cord into an electrical outlet not controlled by
a light switch. (When you connect the system to
power, the Message Window flashes
CL to indicate you
need to set the clock. See “Setting the Clock” in the
ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION section of this
manual.)
