Connecting to the Telephone Line

The ET-282 uses modular connectors.  The accessories you need depend on the
type of jacks or wiring you have:

Modular Jacks - You need no extra equipment.  Plug the supplied cord into
                the telephone line jack.

Four-Prong Jacks - You need an adapter to connect the four-prong jack to 
                   the modular-telephone line plug.  Adapters are available
                   at Radio Shack.

Hardwired Telephones - If your phones are wired directly to the wall, you
                       need to convert to a modular system.  You can get
                       the necessary materials from Radio Shack and do the
                       conversion yourself, or you can contact your
                       telephone company to convert the system.  Note,
                       however, that the phone company can charge for this
                       modification.  If asked, advise the telephone
                       company that the jack is type RJ-11C for use as a 
                       desk phone; use RJ-11W for wall mounting your
                       ET-282.

Route the cable into the groove on the bottom of the phone base.  This
groove acts as a strain relief and keeps the wire neat in appearance.

Wall Installation

If you wish, you can mount the ET-282 on a wall, using one of two methods.
The first way is to use a standard wall plate.  If you do not have such a 
plate, you can purchase one at your local Radio Shack.  Instructions for 
mounting the plate are included with the wall plate.

The second way is to use the two screws (not supplied).  Follow this 
procedure if you choose this method:

1.  Drill two holes for inserting the screws. Make the holes 3 15/16 inches
    (100 mm) apart.

2.  Thread the screws into the wall, letting the heads extend about 1/8 of 
    an inch (3.5 mm) from the wall.

3.  Route the telephone cable inside the recessed channels on the back of
    the telephone.

4.  Align the two screws with the two keyhole slots on the back of the 
    telephone, and press down.

5.  Hang the handset on the base unit.

Setting the Ringer Volume

Set the RINGER volume switch to select the desired volume:

    HI  =  Normal ringer volume.
    LO  =  Reduced volume.
    OFF =  Ringer turned off.  You can place outgoing calls.  If another
           extension rings, signaling that a call is coming in, you can
           answer the call from the ET-282.

Setting the Dialing Mode

To determine the proper setting for the TONE/PULSE switch, you must find
out whether your phone line is a rotary or touch-tone type. To do this,
follow these steps below:

1.  Set the TONE/PULSE switch to TONE.

2.  Press, then release the Hang-up button to get a dial tone.

3.  Press any number button.  If the dial tone stops, you have a touch-tone
    line; leave the switch set to TONE.  If the dial tone continues when 
    you press a number button, you have a rotary line; set the switch to 
    PULSE.
