telephone wall jack. Allow at least one inch (2.5cm) to the rear and
four inches (10cm) above the unit for ventilation.

are required for the Caller ID functions and to maintain the Caller ID and
Speed Dialing memories.

2. Insert four AA batteries into the compartment as indicated by the polarity
symbols.

USING THE PHONE ON A DESK
1. Plug one end of the supplied long modular cord into the TEL. LINE jack
at the back of the base.
2. Plug the cord’s other end into a modular phone line jack.
3. Place the phone on a shelf, desk, or table near enough to the modular
phone line jack so that there is no strain on the cord.
HANGING THE PHONE ON THE WALL
When the unit is wall mounted, the handset guide holds the handset in
place in the cradle.
On a Wall Phone Plate
1. Press and lift out the handset holder. Rotate it 180°, and snap it into
place so it will hold the handset in place when the phone is mounted
on the wall.
2. Insert the mounting bracket’s two tabs into the matching slots opposite
the keyhole slot on the underside phone’s base. Then press down and
slide the bracket upward until the tabs snap into place.
3. Plug one end of the supplied short modular cord into the LINE jack
at the back of the base.
4. Plug the cord’s other end into the wall plate jack, then align the base’s
keyhole slots with the wall plate studs and slide the phone downward
to secure it.
On a Wall Without a Plate
To mount the phone directly on a wall, in addition to the preceding steps,
you need two screws (not supplied) with heads that fit into the keyhole
slot on the bottom of the base.
1. Drill two holes 3 inches (83mm) apart (vertically). Then thread a screw
into each hole, letting the heads extend about 1/5 inches (5mm) from
the wall.
2. Substitute the long modular cord for the short cord.
CONNECTING THE HANDSET
Plug one end of the supplied coiled cord into the handset’s modular
jack. Then connect it to the jack on the left side of the telephone base.
TELEPHONE FEATURES
TONE/PULSE SWITCH
Set the TONE/PULSE switch on the side of the phone for the type of
service you have. If you are not sure which type you have, do this
simple
test.
1. Set TONE/PULSE to TONE. Lift the handset or press SPKPHONE
button, listen for a dial tone.
2. Press any number except 0. If your phone requires that you dial an
access code (9, for example) before you dial an outside number, do
not press the access code number either.
• If the dial tone stops, you have touch-tone service. Leave the setting
to TONE.
• If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service. Set TONE/PULSE
to PULSE.
RECEIVER VOLUME CONTROL
Use RECEIVER VOL control to adjust the receiver volume for a
comfortable listening level.
RINGER OFF/LOW/HIGH
If you do not want to hear the phone ring, set RINGER to OFF. You can
still make calls with the ringer off, and you can answer calls if you hear
another phone on the same phone line ring. The visual ringer LED flashes
when the phone rings, even when the ringer is off. If you want to hear
the phone ring, set RINGER to HI or LO.
MUTE
To talk to someone on your end of the phone without the caller hearing
your conversation, hold down MUTE button. Release MUTE button to
resume your conversation.
FLASH
FLASH performs the electronic equivalent of a switch hook operation for
special services, such as Call Waiting.
For example, if you have Call Waiting, press FLASH button to answer an
incoming call without disconnecting the current call. Press FLASH button
again to return to the first call.
Note: If you do not have any special phone services, pressing FLASH
button might disconnect the current call.
REDIAL
Pick up the handset or press SPKPHONE button, press REDIAL button
when you hear a dial tone. The number scrolls across the display, and the
phone dials it.
Note: The redial memory holds up to 32 digits, so you can redial long
distance as well as local phone numbers.
