TABLE/DESK INSTALLATION
This telephone includes a 7-foot line cord with a modular
plug on each end. You’ll use this cord to connect the
telephone to a modular jack.
1. Connect line cord to telephone
Plug the long line cord into the jack on the underside of
the telephone base. Then feed the line cord through the
channel provided so the telephone sits flat on your table
or desk during use.
2. Set Dial Mode switch
This product comes set in the TONE mode. Make sure
you choose the correct dialing method (TONE/PULSE);
touch tone dialing will not work if you have dial pulse
service.
3. Connect handset to base
Plug one end of the coiled cord into the handset, and
the other end into the telephone base. Then hang up.
4. Connect line cord to modular jack
Plug the free end of the line cord into a modular jack.
Make sure it snaps firmly in place.
5. Check for dial tone
Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone. If you can’t
hear a dial tone, refer to “In Case of Difficulty” and try
to correct the problem.
TO DISCONNECT the telephone, squeeze the clip on
the modular plug and pull it out of the jack.

INSTALLATION

WALL INSTALLATION
1. Reverse the handset tab.
When mounting the telephone on a wall, you must
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 (Figure 1). Turn the tab so that
the end with the “hook” is up (Figure 2). Then insert the
tab back into its slot (Figure 3).
2. Fill in directory card
The enclosed directory card has an adhesive backing
which lets you place it in a convenient location near the
telephone. Write in your own telephone number and up
to nine other numbers you want to remember on the
directory card.
3. Plug the line cord into the jack on the underside of
the base
Feed the short line cord into the channel. Feed the last
portion (as short as possible), through one of the slots in
the mounting area.
4. Install telephone base on wall jack
Hold the base up next to the wall jack and plug in the line
cord. Then push the base against the wall jack and down
until it is held securely by the mounting studs.

If you have difficulty operating this phone, try the
suggestions below.
No Dial Tone
☞Make sure all plugs are connected properly. Inspect
the line cord connections at the modular jack and at
the telephone. Also inspect the coiled handset cord
connections at both ends.
☞Unplug the telephone and connect it to another modular
jack. If it still does not work, try another telephone; if
neither telephone works, the problem is not in this
telephone. The trouble may be caused by local telephone
company lines, central office equipment, or the wiring
in your home.
Calls Cannot Be Dialed, or Are Dialed Slowly
Reset Dial Mode switch. If you have rotary service, you
cannot dial numbers with the switch set to TONE. Set the
switch to PULSE, then hang up and dial again.
If you have tone dialing service, you can use either tone or
dial-pulse mode. If you set the switch to TONE, numbers
are dialed much more quickly.
Telephone Does Not Ring
☞Make sure the Ringer switch is not set to OFF.
☞If there are several other phones on the same line, try
disconnecting some of the other telephones. Having too
many telephones can also create problems such as low
ringer volume or impaired quality during calls.
