READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

We have designed your telephone to conform to federal regulations, and you
can connect it to most telephone lines.  However, each device that you
connect to the phone line draws power from the phone line. We refer to this
power draw as the device's ringer equivalence number, or REN.  The REN is
marked on the bottom of the phone.

If you are using more than one phone or other device on the line, add up
all the RENs.  If the total is more than five, your phones might not ring.
In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer operation.

NOTE:  You must not connect the phone to any of the following:

       Coin-operated systems.

       Party-line systems.

       Most electronic key phone systems.

PREPARATION

Connecting to Phone Lines

To connect the telephone to the phone lines, plug one end of the supplied
two-line telephone cord into the jack on the back of the phone.  Then plug
the cord's other end into a two-line telephone jack (RJ14).

To connect the phone to two single-line jacks, use a two-line coupler (such
as Radio Shack Cat. No. 279-401) between the phone and the jacks.

If you have only one phone line, you can order an additional line from your
local phone company.

Connecting the Handset Cord

Plug one end of the supplied coiled handset cord into the jack on the
handset.  Then plug the cord's other end into the jack on the left side of
the phone's base.

Setting the Dialing Mode

Set TONE/PULSE for the type of service you have.  If you are not sure which
type you have, follow these steps.

1.   Set TONE/PULSE to TONE.

2.   Lift the handset, press LINE 1, and listen for a dial tone.

3.   Press any number key other than 0.  If the dial tone stops, you have
     touch-tone service.  If the dial tone continues, you have pulse
     service.

4.   For Line 2, press LINE 2 and repeat Step 3.

If you have tone service for one line and pulse service for the other, you
must change the TONE/PULSE switch setting each time you change the line to
dial out.  The setting does not matter when you answer a call.
