Wall Installation
1.
Choose a spot near an electrical outlet and a telephone jack.
Your phone requires a modular
telephone jack and a standard electrical outlet (110vAC). The outlet should not be controlled by a wall
switch – if the switch is ever turned off, the phone will not operate properly.
2.
Install the base batteries.
Open the battery door on the bottom of the unit by pulling on the tab.
Insert the batteries, then close the door. The batteries are used to save your messages in the event of a
power failure. When the base batteries need to be replaced, the LO BATT BASE Light on the base
will blink.
3.
SET DIAL MODE Switch.
Set DIAL MODE switch on rear of base unit to TONE if you have touch
tone service, or PULSE if you have dial pulse (rotary) service. To change dial mode during a call, see
“Temporary Tone” in the Telephone Operation section.
4.
Set the RINGER Switch (ON/OFF).
Set the RINGER switch on the base unit to ON, so the phone
will ring. When the switch is set to OFF, the phone will not ring.
5.
Fill in the telephone number card.
On the handset, insert a pointed object into the hole in the
window, and gently pry up the window until it pops out. Write your phone number on the card and
replace the window.
6.
Install the flexible handset antenna.
The flexible handset antenna has a metal end with a threaded
tip. Slide the metal tip straight down into the hole in the top of the handset. When you feel the antenna
reach the bottom of the hole, turn the antenna clockwise slightly to make sure that the tip is set in place,
and then continue to screw the antenna clockwise until the rubber is snug against the top of the handset.
Do not overtighten the antenna.
7.
Base unit:
Remove the window over the telephone number card.
Insert a pointed object into the
hole in the window, and gently pry up the window until it pops out. Now remove the telephone number
card and set the card and window aside.
8.
Remove and reverse the handset hook.
You must now reverse the handset hook so it can hold the
handset in the base. In the opening behind the telephone number card, you will see a dot marked
PRESS. With a pencil or pen point, press on the dot and push upward to release the hook from its slot.
Now remove the hook and turn it so the rounded edge is pointing up, and the word PRESS is facing
you. Slide the hook back down into the slot until it snaps into place. The rounded edge should now be
sticking out.
9.
Choose and mark the mounting position.
The mounting screws should screw into a wooden stud
within the wall - they will not hold securely in wallboard alone. Locate a wall stud in the area where
you want to install your telephone. Use the Wall-Mounting Template and a pencil to mark the screw
positions on the wall over the stud. Put the template aside.
10.
Install the mounting sleeves and screws.
Start the screw holes by lightly tapping a nail into the marks
you made on the wall. Remove the nail from the wall. Now slip the mounting sleeves onto the screws,
with the larger end of the sleeve toward the screw head. Insert the screws into the holes you started.
Tighten the screws until the small end of the mounting sleeve is flat against the wall.
11.
Connect the telephone line cord.
The telephone line cord has a snap-in plug on each end. Insert one
of the plugs into the jack in the rear of the base unit. Insert the other plug into a telephone jack. Make
sure the plugs snap into place.
12.
Mount the base on the wall.
Hold the base so that the mounting sleeves protruding from the wall fit
into the holes on the bottom of the base. Arrange the telephone and power cords so that they run down
the wall behind the telephone. Slide the base down onto the protruding sleeves until it locks firmly in
place.
13.
Plug in the power cord.
Plug the AC adapter on the power cord into an electrical outlet not controlled
by a wall switch. When you connect the unit to an electrical outlet, the system automatically begins
formatting digital memory. The Message Window begins to count down from 8 to 0. When memory
formatting has been completed, “0” will blink in the Message Window to indicate that the system is on,
but an announcement has not been recorded.
