• You must have a modular telephone jack and an electrical outlet
not controlled by a wall switch near where you’re installing the
phone.
• The total length of telephone wiring used in this system is
important. If the total length of telephone wiring is more than
600 feet, you may need to use a special filter device. You can call
1 800 222–3111 for information about this filter. You’ll need to
contact a professional to install this filter.
• Identify the number of phone lines you’ll use.
• Plan the layout of your phone system.
• All connected phones must have the same Line 1 phone number
for the Intercom and Page features to work.
• Assign a different Intercom Extension Number (11 through 22)
to each system phone. You’ll need to do this individually at each
telephone.
• Decide if you want a private line. A private line does not appear
on all connected phones.
• Choose your setting for each feature. You will need to program
the features during installation (see “Features List”).
