2. Plug one end of the supplied short modu-

lar cord into the 

LINE

 jack at the back of

the base. Route the modular cord through
the strain relief channel.

3. Plug the cord’s other end into the wall

plate jack, then align the base’s keyhole
slots with the wall plate studs and slide
the phone downward to secure it.

4. Press and lift up the handset holder,

rotate it 180°, then snap it back so it holds
the handset.

To mount the phone directly on a wall, in addi-
tion to the preceding steps, you need two
screws (not supplied) with heads that fit into
the keyhole slots on the bottom of the base.

Drill two holes 3

15

/

16

 inches (100 mm) apart.

Then thread a screw into each hole, letting the
heads extend about 

5

/

16

 inches (8mm) from

the wall.

Substitute the long modular cord for the short
cord mentioned in step 2.

Connecting the Handset

Plug one end of the coiled cord into the modu-
lar jack on the handset. Then connect it to the
jack on the left side of the telephone base.

Note: Your local RadioShack store sells a va-
riety of longer coiled handset cords, which are
especially useful when you mount the phone
on a wall.

Using Handset Volume Control

Use the handset’s rotary control to adjust the
handset volume to the desired level.

Using Multi-Pitch Control

Slide the 

1/2/3

 pitch switch to select a different

ringer tone.

Setting the Ringer

If you do not want to hear the phone ring, set

RINGER

 to 

OFF

. You can still make calls with

the ringer off, and you can answer calls if you
hear another phone on the same phone line
ring. The bar-shaped ring indicator flashes
when the phone rings, even when the ringer is
off. If you want to hear the phone ring, set

RINGER

 to 

HI

 or 

LO

. 

Setting the Dialing Mode

Set the

 TONE/PULSE

 switch on the back of the

phone for the type of service you have. If you
are not sure which type you have, do this sim-
ple test.

1. Set

 TONE/PULSE 

to 

TONE

. Lift the hand-

set and listen for a dial tone.

2. Press any number except 

0

. If your phone

requires that you dial an access code (9,
for example) before you dial an outside
number, do not press the access code
number either.

If the dial tone stops, you have touch-
tone service. Leave the setting to

 TONE

. 

If the dial tone continues, you have pulse
service. Set 

TONE/PULSE

 to 

PULSE

.

Using Special Tone Services

Some computer services, such as alternate
long distance and bank-by-phone, require
tone signals for communications.

If you have pulse service, you can still use
special tone service by following these steps.

1. Connect to the special service using

pulse dialing.

2. When the special service answers,

change the 

TONE/PULSE 

switch to 

TONE

,

or press 

*

 to temporarily switch to tone

dialing.
