DESK PHONE INSTALLATION

Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the jack on the back of the

  and adapters necessary to convert older wiring to modular wiring.

  Have your local telephone company update your telephone wiring for you.

Notes:  The telephone company has the right to charge you for installing a
        modular jack.  The telephone company will ask for the USOC number
        of the jack.  This number is RJ-11C for a line jack or RJ-11W for
        a wall jack.

WALL-MOUNTING THE TELEPHONE

You can mount the telephone in a convenient wall location.  Mount the
telephone on a standard wall plate or directly on the wall, using two
screws with heads that fit into the keyhole slots on the back of the
telephone.  You can get a telephone wall-plate and the short modular cord
useful for wall-mounting at your local Radio Shack store.

To Mount the Telephone on a Standard Wall Plate:

1.  Plug one end of the short cord (not supplied into the jack on the back
    of the telephone.  Route the cord through the groove on the bottom of
    the telephone.  Route any excess cord to the recess on the back of the
    telephone.

2.  Plug the other end of the modular cord into the jack on the wall
    plate.

3.  Align the wall plate's two studs with the keyhole slots on the bottom
    of the telephone.  Slide the telephone down onto the two studs to
    secure the telephone to the wall.

4.  Lift and rotate the handset holder as shown, so that it holds the
    handset in place.

To Mount the Telephone Directly on a Wall:

1:  Drill two holes 3 15/16 inches (100 mm) apart.

2.  Thread a screw (not supplied) into each hole, letting the heads extend
    3/16" (5mm).

(2 wall mount screws are not included.)

3.  Plug one end of the long modular telephone cable into the jack
    (nearest the RINGER ON/OFF switch) on the back of the telephone.
    Route the long cord up through the groove in the back of the phone's
    base so that the base can fit flush against the wall.  Then, plug the
    cord's other end into your telephone line jack.

4.  Lift and rotate the handset holder, so that it can hold the handset
    into place.

5.  Align the two keyhole slots on the bottom of the telephone with the
    two screw-heads and slide the telephone down onto the screwheads to
    secure it in place.

CONNECTING THE HANDSET CORD

Plug one end of the shorter, coiled modular cord into the second jack on
the back of the telephone.  Then plug the cord's other end into the jack
on the telephone's handset.  Hang the handset on the handset holder.

SETTING THE RINGER SWITCH

The telephone has a RINGER ON/OFF switch.  With this switch in the OFF
position, the telephone does not ring, but you can still make outgoing
calls.  If you have an extension phone that rings, you can answer incoming
calls.

SETTING THE DIALING MODE

Set the TONE/PULSE switch above the telephone's keypad for the type of
service (tone or pulse) available from your local telephone company.  If
you are not sure which type of service you have, you can do this simple
test.

1.  Set the TONE/PULSE switch to TONE.

2.  Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone.

3.  Press any number other than 0.  If the dial tone stops, you have
    touch-tone service.  If the dial tone continues, you have pulse
    service.

4.  If you have pulse service, set the TONE/PULSE switch to PULSE.
