DuoFone 600 Voice Dialing Phone
(430-0650)                 Installation               Faxback Doc. # 17913

The phone is packaged with the following items: phone base, handset, AC
adapter, coiled handset cord, a long 7-foot telephone line cord for desktop
installation. You will need both a modular telephone jack and an electrical
outlet near the place you have chosen to install your telephone.

The phone has a special back plate that allows it to be mounted on the wall
or to sit on a desktop. You must remove the back plate to change the
batteries and to connect or disconnect the AC adapter or the telephone line
cord.

Remove the Back Plate

Place the phone base face down on a covered surface. With your right
thumb in the large, center, rectangular slot, firmly slide the back plate
about 1/8 inch to the right while lifting it to release the inner latch.
Listen for a "click" or snapping sound as the back plate is released from
the phone base.

Replace the Batteries

To retain its memory, the phone requires continuous power. When it is
completely without power, it forgets everything-all voice names, directory
entries, and speed dial numbers. If you are replacing old batteries, be
sure the adapter is connected and plugged in so that previously learned
names and numbers are not forgotten.

Low Batts- appears on the display when the batteries are low. Fresh
batteries offer about 72 hours of backup power. Under normal use with the
AC adapter, batteries will last as long as their shelf life, about 2 years.

NOTE:  Disconnect the telephone line cord when inserting or changing
       batteries.

1.  With the back plate removed, locate the battery compartment on the
    bottom side of the phone base. Slide the hatch cover in the direction
    of the arrow and remove any old batteries

2.  Insert four new AAA alkaline batteries (Cat. No. 23-555), matching
    positive and negative terminals. Replace the hatch cover

NOTES:  Be sure the AC power is connected when changing batteries.  Use
        only AAA-size alkaline batteries.  Replace all four batteries when
        the window displays the message LOW BATTS

        Remove batteries and disconnect the AC adapter before storing the
        phone for a long period of time

Connect the AC Adapter and the Telephone Line Cord

1.  Plug the AC adapter cord into the round jack on the phone base.

2.  Anchor the adapter cord by threading it under the tabs in the channel.

3.  Plug and anchor the telephone line cord into the phone jack in the
    phone base.

NOTES:  Do not attempt to operate the phone using only the AC adapter or on
        the batteries alone. The batteries provide backup power in case of
        a power outage or when you need to move the phone. Always use the
        AC adapter and batteries

        If the AC power is disconnected and batteries are dead, you can
        still use the phone as you normally would without voice dialing
        functions.

DESKTOP INSTALLATION

If you will be mounting the phone on a wall, skip this section and proceed
to "Wall Mount Installation."

1.  Replace the back plate by inserting the latch at the wide end of the
    plate into the slot near the top of the base.

2.  Slide the plate to the right while pressing down to snap the lower
    latch into place.

3.  Plug the 7-foot telephone line cord into the modular jack.

To finish the installation, proceed to "Complete the Assembly."

WALL-MOUNT INSTALLATION

To connect the phone to a wall jack, you must reverse the back plate so the
wide end is at the bottom of the phone base. Also, you must reverse the
handset hook so the handset can rest vertically.

1.  With the wide end of the back plate resting near the bottom of the
    phone base, thread the short 5 1/4 inch telephone line cord (RS Cat.
    No. 279390) through the hole in the center of the back plate, keeping
    about half of the line cord anchored in the channel.

2.  Replace the back plate by inserting the latch at the wide end of the
    plate into the slot near the bottom of the phone base.

3.  Slide the plate to the left while proceeding down to snap the upper
    latch into place. The telephone line cord should extend about 1 inch
    from the back of the plate.

4.  With the base close to the wall, carefully plug the line cord into the
    wall jack.

5.  Line up mounting studs with the holes in the back plate. Press the base
    against the wall and slide the base down, securing the back plate holes
    into the studs.

Once the base is in place, you must reverse the special hook in the handset
cradle that holds the handset in a vertical position.

1.  While depressing the hook switch, slide the handset hook toward the top
    of the phone.

2.  Remove the hook and rotate it so that the lower lip is now pointed
    upward.

3.  Depress the switchhook and slide the hook down into place. the lip
    should extend into the handset cradle.

COMPLETE THE ASSEMBLY

1.  Plug the AC adapter into the wall socket.

2.  Plug the coiled handset cord into the base.

3.  Adjust the display by tilting it to one of its four settings so it is
    easily seen from the desktop or wall-mount position.
