BEFORE YOU BEGIN
• You must have a modular telephone jack and electrical outlet near
where you’re installing the phone.
• The total length of telephone line cord used in this system is
important. If the total length of telephone line cord is more than
600 feet,you may need to use a special filter device. You can call
1 800 PCC–9125 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.
• All connected phones must have the same Line 1 phone number for
Intercom and Paging to work.
• Assign a different Intercom Extension Number (11 through 22) to
each 954 telephone. You’ll need to do this individually at each
telephone.
