Installation
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type.
• Before replacing the batteries, discon-
nect all telephone lines from your sys-
tem.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
1. Turn the base over, press the tab on the
battery compartment cover, then lift off
the cover.
2. Place four AA batteries in the compart-
ment over the ribbon as indicated by the
polarity symbols (+ and –) marked
inside.
3. Replace the cover.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution: Always remove old or weak batter-
ies. Batteries can leak chemicals that can
destroy electronic parts.
Note: If the power is out and your phone is
operating on battery power, the phone will
automatically switch to pulse dialing. If your
phone line does not support pulse dialing,
you will not be able to dial.

CONNECTING THE AC
ADAPTER
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 11V AC
and delivers at least 600 mA.
The supplied adapter meets these spec-
ifications. Using an adapter that does
not meet these specifications could
damage the system or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the
system before you connect it to AC
power. When you finish, disconnect the
adapter from AC power before you dis-
connect it from the system.
Follow these steps to connect AC power.
1. Insert the AC adapter's barrel plug into
the adapter jack on the bottom of the
telephone.
2. Route the adapter's cord through the
adapter cord groove on the bottom of
the phone, then plug the adapter into a
standard AC outlet.
ATTACHING THE HANDSET
Plug one end of the supplied coiled cord into
the jack on the telephone's handset. Plug the
other end into the
jack on the left side
of the telephone's base.
Note: Your local RadioShack store sells a
variety of longer coiled handset cords which
can be useful if your telephone is mounted
on a wall.
CONNECTING A FAX OR PC
MODEM
You can connect a fax or PC modem to the
system's data port, which uses Line 2. When
you use a fax or modem, the connection is
protected and will not be interrupted by in-
coming or transferred calls.
1. Connect the fax or modem cord to the
DOWN STREAM
data port on the side of
the phone.
2. Set
PC/FAX/PHONE
