Installation
Inside the package you will find the ClassCo Model PSM585 unit, users
guide, a phone cord, four “AA” batteries (may already be installed) and an
AC power adapter.
1.
Remove the battery door on the underside of the unit by sliding the door
back. Install 4 “AA” batteries. Please be sure to follow the battery
orientation diagram shown below. (If the batteries are already installed,
please be sure to remove the tab next to the upper battery contact.)
NOTE: THE BATTERIES SERVE AS A BACKUP DURING LOSS OF
POWER AND ALLOW THE UNIT TO FUNCTION UNTIL POWER IS
RESTORED. IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THE BATTERIES ARE
FRESH. BE SURE TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES ONCE A YEAR OR
WHEN THE LOW BATTERY CONDITION IS INDICATED ON THE
DISPLAY.
2.
The AC adapter provides power to the unit during normal operation. Plug
the adapter into a standard 120VAC household jack and the connector into
the power jack at the top of the unit (see diagram below.)
NOTE: A SOFT “CHIRP” MAY SOUND UNTIL THE TELEPHONE LINE
IS CONNECTED IN THE NEXT STEP.
3.
Use the supplied phone cord to connect between the
LINE
jack on the back
of the unit and the telephone jack on your wall.
4.
Connect your telephone set to the
PHONE
jack on the back of unit. (This
also applies if connecting the base of a cordless phone.) This step is
required if you want to use call waiting ID and dial back features.
5.
OPTIONAL: An
ALARM
output port is provided for connecting to external
devices such as an X10 PowerHouse™ Module or a central alarm panel.
During an alarm, the two contacts on the alarm connector are “closed.”
When the alarm stops, the contacts are “open.” Push down on the orange
tabs to insert a connection wire. Refer to instructions specific to the device
