This cordless telephone uses a
digital security code to prevent
unauthorized access to your
base unit. This security code
prevents other cordless
handsets from making calls
through your base unit.
A random security code will be
assigned automatically between
your base unit and handset
when you charge the battery
pack for the first time.
If you want to change the
security code, see page 46.

Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
included in the PRECAUTIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFET Y INSTRUCTIONS. Here are some
important guidelines you should consider:
•The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet
which is not switchable.
•Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors,
microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
•Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna to a vertical position.
•The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.
•If your second phone line has a separate modular jack, place your phone so you can
access both jacks.

Most phone systems use tone dialing which sends DTMF tones through the phone
lines. However some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as in rural areas.
The default setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system, set the
mode as follows:
1) Press and hold flash on the base until you hear a confirmation tone.
2) To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press #on the base. Or to set the dial
mode for tone dialing, press */tone on the base. A confirmation tone sounds
to indicate the setting is complete.
•If you are not sure of your dialing system, set for tone dialing. Make a trial call.
If the call connects, leave the setting as is, otherwise set for pulse dialing.
•If your phone dialing system requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF
tones for certain situations during a call, you may "switch-over" to tone dialing.
(Refer to "Tone Dialing Switch-over").

DDiirreeccttwwaallllmmoouunnttiinngg
If you don´t have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the
wall. Before doing this, consider the following:
•Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location,
that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.
•Try to mount your phone within 6-10 feet of a working phone jack to avoid
excessive cord lengths.
•Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base
and handset.
•Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices
suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.
1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall, (with
their appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16
inches apart. Allow about 1/8 of an inch between
the wall and screwheads for mounting the phone.
2) Set the retainer clip if necessary.
3) Refer to steps 1 through 9 on pages 13 and 14 to
mount the telephone.
