Install Desk/Table Top Phone
Installing Your Telephone
1 Connect Line Cord
Connect one end of a long telephone line cord
to the LINE jack on the bottom of the tele-
phone. Connect the other end to the wall jack.
2 Connect Handset
Plug either end of the coiled handset cord into
the handset and the other end into the jack on
the side of the telephone. Place the handset in
the cradle.
3 Connect Power Cord
Plug the AC power cord into the adapter jack
on the bottom of the telephone. Thread the
power cord into the recessed groove. Plug the
AC adapter into an electrical outlet not con-
trolled by a wall switch.
4 Install Batteries for AC Power Fail
Operation (Optional)
It is not necessary for you to install batteries in
your telephone for it to function normally. In
fact, batteries are not even needed to preserve
your memory dial numbers in the event of a
power failure. This is because all memory dial
numbers are stored in a static memory which
retains its contents even with no electrical
power. The only purpose of having a battery
installed is so that the telephone itself can func-
tion for up to twenty-four hours talking time,
and up to one year standby time, in the event
of a power failure.

Install Wall Mounted Phone
The steps are similar to those for
Desk/Table Top Phone, except for the
following points:
1 Connect Cords to Telephone
Plug the AC power cord into the adapter jack
on the bottom of the telephone, threading the
power cord through its long groove on the bot-
tom of the phone.
Connect the short telephone line cord to the
jack on the telephone. Thread the short tele-
phone line cord through the square hole in the
center of the wall mount bracket, and then
attach the wall mount bracket to the base of the
telephone.
2 Reverse Handset Hook
Slide the telephone hook out of the cradle,
rotate it 180 degrees so that its tab faces
upward, and then slide it back into the cradle.

Setting Up Your Telephone
Your telephone can be placed
on a desk or mounted on a
wall.
If you would like to wall mount your tele-
phone, please refer to the instructions
on page 1.
A wall mount template is printed on this
page for your convenience.
The wall mount bracket can also be
used as a desk pedestal. Simply attach
the bracket in the opposite direction that
you would for wall mounting, pressing
firmly upward to snap it in place, and
clip in the two supplied desk pedestal
feet.
Many people prefer the extra tilt provid-
ed by the pedestal, especially when the
phone is placed on a large desk.
You may choose to place your telephone
on a desk without the desk pedestal. If
you do so, set the desk pedestal/wall
mount bracket aside in case you want to
use it in the future.

the first 20 seconds. This is useful for an office
where a secretary usually answers the phone.
RINGER OFF: The line will not ring.
In all these cases, the line indicators will flash
normally to signal an incoming call, and you can
always answer that line, whether or not it is ring-
ing at your telephone, by pressing the corre-
sponding flashing LINE button.
3
Note: If you set a ringer to ON or DELAY, and a call comes in on that line while you are having a
conversation on another outside line, a double ring will sound every 15 seconds to alert you of the
incoming call. This feature, called “off-hook ringing”, can be turned off if you prefer. To do this,
press PROGRAM , then press >repeatedly until “Off

tion access code:
1 Press PROGRAM .
- The display will read “Program...”
2 Press >repeatedly, until “Toll
Restriction” appears in the display,
and then press DELETE .
- The display will read “Enter

4 Press PROGRAM to exit.
The Toll Restriction feature enables you to con-
trol outgoing calls and helps you prevent unau-
thorized long distance calls.
The toll restriction access code is needed when
you wish to change any toll restriction settings or
when you wish to turn toll restriction on or off at
a particular phone.
If you ever forget the access code, simply set a
new code. Until you set the access code, the
code will be the one set at the factory, which is
“1234”.
Setting the restricted numbers and
the allowed exceptions at a particu-
lar telephone:
Follow the instructions on the following three
pages for setting toll restrictions at particular
phones. After you set a phone’s toll restrictions,
the settings will not be erased, even in the event
of a power failure. So you do not need to worry
about ever having to re-enter the toll restriction
settings at any of the stations. If you ever do
wish to erase all the toll restriction settings
stored at a particular phone, follow the instruc-
tions on page 35.
Turning toll restriction on/off at a
particular telephone:
Follow the instructions on page 28 for turning
toll restriction on and off at a particular phone.
Note: After setting a station’s restrictions, its toll
restriction is automatically ON. In the future, you
may temporarily override its toll restriction or turn
its toll restriction off for a longer period without
affecting the settings stored in the telephone.

at a particular telephone:
1 Press PROGRAM .
- The display will read
“Program...”
2 Press >repeatedly, until “Toll
Restriction” appears in the dis-
play, and then press DELETE .
- The display will read “Enter

desired restricted number, up to 6
digits.
6Press <.
7 Press >and repeat steps 5-6 if you
wish to store any additional restric-
tions at this phone.
7
Setting Up Toll Restriction (Continued)
Toll restriction numbers are set individually at
each telephone, so the restrictions can vary from
phone to phone.
Some examples of popular restrictions:
“1” ... to restrict all numbers starting with “1”.
“01” ... to restrict all international calls.
“0” ... to restrict all operator-assisted calls.
“#976” ... to restrict all “0976” and “1976” calls.
(When you enter restricted numbers, “#” is a
wildcard that stands for the number “0” or “1”.)
Note: Restrictions are usually just a few digits,
since they prevent the dialing of all numbers
starting with those digits.
Use the Worksheet below to plan your choice of
restricted numbers. If you plan to set any sta-
tions with a different set of restrictions, then use
additional copies of this worksheet.
You can set as
many as five
restricted numbers
at each telephone.
Enter the restricted numbers
exactly as you would dial them
out. Each restriction can be up
to 6 digits long.

- The display will read “Program...”
2 Press >repeatedly, until “Toll

allowed number, up to 10 digits.
7Press <.
8 Press >and repeat steps 6-7 if you
wish to store any additional allowed
numbers at this phone.
If you set restrictions at a particular phone, you
will most likely also want to store some allowed
exceptions at that telephone.
For example, if you restrict long-distance calls,
you will probably want to store some allowed
area codes, such as “1301”. Or, for example,
you may wish to store “1800”, to allow all “1800”
calls. Or “1*******” to allow all “1+7 digit”
calls.
(When you enter allowed numbers, “*” is a
wildcard that stands for any number from 0-9.)
You may also want to store some specific
allowed numbers, for example other company
offices.
Use the Worksheet below to plan your choice of
allowed numbers. If you plan to set any stations
with a different set of allowed numbers, then use
additional copies of this worksheet.
