INSTALLING YOUR TELEPHONE

For your phone to work properly, you must do the following steps in order.
If you do not follow these steps, your phone might not work when you first
install it.  If this happens, remove the batteries, disconnect the phone,
and re-install the phone correctly.

1.  Install the batteries (see "Installing/Replacing the Batteries" below).

2.  Initialize your telephone (see "Initializing Your Telephone" below).

3.  Connect your telephone to the phone line (see "Connecting Your
    Telephone to the Telephone Line" below).

INSTALLING/REPLACING THE BATTERIES

Your phone requires two AA alkaline batteries to protect the numbers you
store in memory.  These batteries normally last about one year.

Your telephone automatically tests the batteries. If the BATT LOW indicator
appears in the display, you need to replace the batteries.

When you install batteries the first time, be sure you have not yet
connected your phone to the phone lines.

However, keep your phone connected to the phone lines while you replace old
batteries.

1.  Lift the handset.  Press [LINE 1], [HOLD], then [LINE 2]. This prevents
    incoming calls.

2.  Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing the tab in the
    direction of the arrow.  Remove the old batteries if necessary, and
    dispose of them properly.

3.  Install two new AA alkaline batteries, observing proper polarity
    (+ and -) as marked in the battery compartment.

CAUTION:  If you install the batteries backwards, you might damage the
          phone.

4.  Replace the battery compartment cover.

5.  Press [RESET] (located on the back of your phone) with a pointed object
    such as a ball-point pen. The time resets to 12:00, but your phone does
    not lose any names or numbers you have stored in its memory.

6.  Press [LINE 1] and return the handset to its cradle.

INITIALIZING YOUR TELEPHONE

After you install batteries the first time, follow these steps very
carefully to properly initialize your phone.  You must complete this
procedure before you connect your phone to the phone line the first time.

1.  Press the (RESET) button (located on the back of your phone) with a
    pointed object such as a ball-point pen.

2.  Press and hold (MEMORY CLEAR) for about 6 seconds until your phone
    beeps and the display looks like this: [ |||||  |||||  |||||  ||||| ].

NOTE:  This procedure clears the contents of your phone's directory and
       rests your phone.

SELECTING A LOCATION

Select a location for your phone that is:

    Near a phone jack

    Near an AC outlet

    Not in the way of normal activities in the area

You can mount your phone on a wall, or place it on a shelf, desk, or table.

INSTALLING THE HANDSET CORD

Plug one end of the supplied coil cord into the jack on the phone handset.
Then, plug the other end into the jack on the side of the phone.  Radio
Shack stores sell longer coiled handset cords, which are especially useful
if you wall-mount the phone.

CONNECTING THE AC ADAPTER

1.  Plug the AC adapter's small plug into the DC 9V jack on the back of
    your phone.

2.  Plug the AC adapter into a standard AC outlet.

3.  Route the cord through the strain relief on the bottom of the phone.

CONNECTING TO THE PHONE LINES

Plug the supplied cord into the jack on the bottom of your phone.  Plug the
other end into an RJ-14 two-line jack. If you have only one line, order the
other line from the phone company.

An RJ-14 jack looks like a single-line jack, but it is wired differently.
If only Line 1 works after you install your phone, the second line is not
wired to the jack.  In this case, or if your phonelines do not have an
RJ-14 jack:

    Update the wiring yourself.  Radio Shack stores sell jacks and adapters
    to convert from older wiring types (four-prong, direct wiring).

    Connect your phone to two single line jacks by using a two-line coupler
    such as Radio Shack's Cat. No. 279-401.

    Have the phone company update your phone system's wiring.

NOTE:  The phone company can charge you to install the jack.  The phone
       company asks for the USOC number of the jack.  This number is RJ-14C
       or RJ-14W for a wall jack.

If you do not wire your phone lines correctly, or if you wire them using
flat phone cable, you might hear crosstalk when both lines are in use.

If you use only Line 1, set the LINE 2 switch on the back of your phone to
OFF.  This keeps the LINE 2 indicator from staying on.

ADJUSTING THE LINE INDICATORS

Your phone determines the line status (in use, on hold, or not in use) by
sensing the phone line's voltage.  Therefore, you might need to adjust to
the line status for best operation.

1.  Press LINE 1 and pick up the handset.  The LINE 1 indicator should
    light steadily.

2.  If the indicator flickers insert the supplied tool into the LN 1 ADJUST
    hole on the bottom of your phone, and turn it clockwise until the line
    indicator lights steadily.  If clockwise adjustment does not make the
    indicator light steadily, try adjusting counter-clockwise.

3.  Place Line 1 on hold.  The LINE 1 indicator should blink.  If the
    indicator does not blink, turn the LN 1 ADJUST slowly until the
    indicator begins to blink.

    To ensure a constant on-hold indication, turn the adjustment a fraction
    of a turn more than necessary in the same direction you were just
    turning.

4.  Repeat Steps 1-3 for Line 2, adjusting LN 2 ADJUST.

ATTACHING THE STAND

We included a detachable stand with your phone.  This stand tilts the phone
forward to make it easier to use the phone when you place it on a table or
desk, and also has keyhole slots for wall mounting your phone.

To attach the stand, insert the matching tabs into the matching slots on
the bottom of your phone.  Then, slide the stand into place.

WALL MOUNTING YOUR PHONE

If you wish, you can wall mount your phone.  You can mount the phone using
a standard wall plate.  Or, you can mount your phone directly on the wall
by using two screws with heads that fit into the keyhole slots on the phone
stand.  You can purchase a telephone wall plate and a short modular cord
useful for wall mounting, at your local Radio Shack store.

If you mount your phone on a standard wall plate:

1.  Plug one end of the short modular cord into your phone.  Then, attach
    the stand with the keyhole slots positioned with the small end up.

2.  Plug the other end of the phonecord into the jack on the wall plate.

3.  Align the keyhole slots on the stand with the wall plate studs.

4.  Press the phone in and down to secure it to the wall.

5.  Lift and rotate the handset holder so that you can hang the handset on
    the cradle.

If you mount your phone on two screws:

1.  Drill two holes l3 15/16 inches (100 mm) apart.

2.  Thread two screws into the holes, until the heads extend about 1/8 inch
    (3 mm).

3.  Plug one end of the modular phone cable into the jack on the back of
    the phone.  Then, attach the stand with the keyhole slots positioned
    with the small end up.

4.  Plug the other end of the phone cord into the phone line jack.

5.  Align the keyhole slots on the back of your phone with the screws.

6.  Press the phone in and down to secure it to the wall.

7.  Lift and rotate the handset holder so that you can hang the handset on
    the base.

Note:  Your phone also has a holder above the regular handset hook that
       gives you a convenient place to temporarily hang the handset without
       disconnecting the call.

SETTING THE RINGER SWITCH

Your telephone has two switches on its right side that sets the ringer's
volume for each line.  Set the switches as follows:

HIGH-Normal volume.

LO-Reduced volume.

OFF-Telephone does not ring.  You can still make outgoing calls.  If you
hear an extension phone ringing, you can answer incoming calls.

SETTING THE DIALING MODE

Set the PULSE/TONE switch on the right side of your telephone for the type
of service you have (pulse or tone).  If you are not sure which type of
service you have, do this simple test.

1.  Set the PULSE/TONE switch to TONE.

2.  Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone.

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

4.  If you have pulse service, set the PULSE/TONE switch to PULSE.

SETTING THE CLOCK

Whenever you are not using your telephone, it displays the current time.
Follow these steps to set your telephone's digital clock.

1.  Press [CLOCK].  The time display begins to flash.

2.  Press [Y/HOUR] repeatedly to advance the clock to the correct hour.  PM
    appears in the display for times between noon and midnight (p.m.).

3.  Press [Z/MINUTE] repeatedly to advance the clock to the correct minute.

4.  Press [CLOCK] again.  The time display stops flashing.

ADJUSTING THE DISPLAY CONTRAST

Use the CONTRAST control to adjust your telephone's display for best
viewing.
