INSTALLATION
Handset Installation
1. Plug one end of the handset coil into the jack on the side of the telephone base.
2. Plug the other end of the handset coil into the handset and put the handset on the
telephone base with the screen facing up.
3. Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone. If there is no dial tone, see In Case of
Difficulty at the back of this manual.
4. Set the RINGER switch on the side of the telephone base to OFF, LO, or HI
according to your preference. If it is set to OFF, this telephone will not ring when
there is an incoming call, although the NEW CALL light will flash.
NOTES:
• The telephone works immediately after installation with the default feature settings
(see Feature Settings Summary on page 16). You can make and answer calls as
soon as the telephone is connected to a modular telephone wall jack. Batteries must
be installed in order to activate the caller ID features and memory (see Battery
Installation on page 9).
• If you subscribe to caller ID services from your local telephone service provider,
follow the instructions in Set Home Area Code on page 19 for the telephone to
properly recognize and dial calls. It may be necessary to follow the instructions in
Set Local Area Codes on page 20.
