This telephone includes a 7-foot line cord with a
modular plug on each end. Use this cord to connect
the telephone to a modular jack.

Remove the directory card and
write in your own telephone
number. Also write the tele-
phone numbers (or names)
that you want to store in each
memory location.
Reinstall the card and clear
plastic cover.
2. Connect line cord to telephone
Plug the long line cord into the
jack on the underside of the tele-
phone base. Then feed the line
cord through the channel pro-
vided so the telephone sits flat
on your table or desk during use
(Figure 1).

Plug free end of
the line cord into a modular
jack. Make sure it snaps firmly
into place.

This product comes set in the
tone (TT) mode. Make sure you choose the
correct dialing method (TT/DP); touch tone dial-
ing will not work if you have dial pulse service.

Plug one end of the coiled handset cord into the
handset, and the other end into the base. Then
hang up.
6. Check for dial tone
Lift the handset and listen for dial tone. If you can-
not hear a dial tone, refer to “In Case of Difficulty”
and try to correct the problem.

(rotary) to tone dialing
during a call:

Emergency Numbers: You may choose to store
emergency numbers in the one-touch memory loca-
tions marked with fire, police and medical symbols.
However, we recommend that you also write the
telephone number on the directory card so that if
the memory feature does not function, you can still
manually dial an emergency number.
If you choose to store non-emergency numbers in
these locations, it is important to remember that
someone visiting your household may assume that
they are dialing an emergency telephone number
when they press one of these emergency symbols.

NOTE: Although testing the programming of emer-
gency numbers is nota recommended procedure, if
you do make a call to an emergency number:
A. You must remain on the line and briefly explain
the reason for the call before hanging up.
B. Programming/testing of emergency numbers
should be performed in the early morning or
late evening (off-peak hours).
NOTE: You may choose to store emergency
numbers in memory locations marked with fire,
police and medical symbols. However, speed
dialing and emergency calling symbols are
provided only as a convenience. The manufacturer
does not assume responsibility for customer
reliance upon this memory feature.
