OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Note:
If you have high speed internet without a central splitter you may need an ADSL filter between
the phone and the wall jack point. The typical symptom of a jack point requiring a filter is loud
static and hissing sounds in the earpiece (check other telephones devices on this line, if they
have a filter installed then this jack point will need one as well)
As you add more telephones or telephone devices to your wiring, ringing can sometimes become
intermittent on some or all connected devices as the maximum loading is reached.
1. Removethe leads from the packaging. The handset curly cord and the cable that connects your phone
to the wall socket must be connected correctly or the telephone will not operate.(SEE PICTURES
BELOW)
2. Plug the curly cord into the handset socket fully.
3. Plug the other end of the curly cord into the socket located on the left-hand side of the telephone.
4. Plug the telephone line cable to the left hand socket located on the top edge of the telephone, (the one
nearest to the ringer switch) and connect the plug to your telephone jack point.
DATA PORT SOCKET
This socket is paralleled with the incoming telephone socket and allows you to connect many types of equipment
to your Telephone. It is suitable for most modern two wire devices. E.G. caller display, Answering Machines,
Computer Modems, Cordless Telephones, Extension Ringers. Note: Telepermitted equipment only should be
connected to the Data Port. The Data Port is not specifically designed for 3 wire connected equipment. 3 wire
equipment connected to it may not respond to incoming ringing when attached to this port

can quickly recall this number later by picking up the handset and pressing "Save" again even after dialing other

and hang up the handset. The red light will light to show the call is being held. You can now go to another
telephone or come back to the same one and continue the call by picking up the handset. The hold light will clear
once the call is picked up again.

The Neon Ring Indicator will still flash with the Ring switch set to off.
EARPIECE VOLUME LO / HI

operate with most hearing aids.
COLOURED RINGER LENS REPLACEMENT - - OPTIONAL FEATURE ON SOME MODELS
