SELECTING A LOCATION

Select a location for your telephone that is:

    Where the wires will not be in the way of normal activities

    Near an AC outlet

    Near a telephone jack

CONNECTING THE AC ADAPTER

Caution:  Use only the supplied AC 120V/9V DC, 300mA, Class II adapter
          with your telephone.  To prevent damage to the telephone or
          the adapter, plug the adapter into the telephone before plugging
          the adapter into an AC outlet.

Connect the supplied AC adapter before making any other connections.

This is important to properly initialize your telephone.

1.  Insert the AC adapter's barrel plug into the DC 9V jack on the back
    of the telephone.

2.  Plug the AC adapter into a standard AC outlet.

3.  Route the cord from the AC adapter through the strain relief slot.

Installing/Replacing the Battery

After you connect the AC adapter, install a 9-volt alkaline battery (Radio
Shack Cat. No. 23-553) into the battery compartment on the bottom of your
telephone.  This battery provides power for a few hours during an AC
power failure, but does not power the line status indicators and the
intercom.

1.  Remove the screw on the battery compartment using a Phillips head
    screwdriver and open the compartment.

2.  Remove the old battery and install a fresh 9-volt battery, observing
    the correct polarity (+ and -).

Caution:  Incorrect battery installation might damage the telephone.

3.  Close the battery compartment cover.  Secure the screw.

Checking the Battery Condition

Press BATTERY TEST on the rear of the Telephone.  If the BATTERY TEST
indicator does not light, replace the battery with a new one.  See
"Installing/Replacing the Battery."

INSTALLING THE HANDSET CORD

Plug one end of the supplied coiled cord into the jack on the telephone's
handset.  Then plug the other end into the jack on the left side of the
telephone's base.  Radio Shack stores sell longer coiled handset cords
that are especially useful if you wall mount the telephone.  See "Mounting
Your Telephone on a Wall."

CONNECTING TO THE TELEPHONE LINES

We designed your telephone to connect to up to four telephone lines
using two 2-line (RJ-14) jacks.  These two-line jacks look the same as a
regular single-line modular jack, but are wired differently inside.

If you have two-line (RJ-14) jacks, refer to Connection A.  If you have
single-line (RJ-11) jacks, refer to Connection B.

A. Connection to Two-Line Jacks

Two modular cords are included with your telephone.  Use one for the
first two-line connection (Line 1 and Line 2) and the other for the
second two-line connection (Line 3 and Line 4).

Plug one end of one of the supplied modular cords into the LINE 1/2 jack
on the back of the telephone, and plug the other end into the first two-
line jack.  Then plug the other cord into the LINE 3/4 jack, and plug the
other end into the second two-line jack.

B.  Other Connections

If you do not have two-line jacks (Line 2 or 4 does not work after you
complete the installation), you can have the telephone company update the
wiring of your telephone system for you.

Note:  The phone company will charge you for the installation and might
       ask you for the USOC number of the jack.  This number is RJ-14C
       for RJ-14W for a wall installation).

Or you can connect each jack on the telephone to two single-line jacks
using two-line couplers (cat. no. 279-401).

Note:  If you have the older 4-prong receptacles or your phones are wired
       directly to the wall, you can update the wiring yourself using the
       jacks and adapter available at your local Radio Shack store.

USING THE AUXILIARY

You can use accessories such as phone dialers or speakerphones with the
telephone.  Insert the accessory's modular plug into the AUX jack on the
back of the telephone.  You can also use the AUX jack to connect an
answering machine to your system.

Notes:  Be sure to check the ringer equivalence number (REN) of any
        telephone device connected to the AUX jack and add that number
        to the total ringer equivalence number on the line.  If the total
        REN is more than five, your phones might not ring.  See "FCC
        Statement."

        Any accessory connected to the AUX jack always works with the
        line button selected.  For example, an answering machine answers
        the line for the last line button selected.

MOUNTING YOUR TELEPHONE ON A WALL

You can mount your telephone on a standard telephone wall plate or
directly on the wall using two screws (not supplied).  You can get a
telephone wall plate and short modular cord for wall plate mounting at
your local Radio Shack store.

If you are mounting your telephone on the wall, follow these instructions.

1.  Move the bracket from its current position to the wall-mount position.

    a)  Lift up on the bracket.

    b)  Insert the bracket into the wall mount socket and push it upward
        to latch it.

2.  If you are using two screws, drill two holes 3 15/16 inches apart.
    Thread two screws into the wall, letting the heads extend about 1/8
    inch.

3.  Hang the telephone on the screws using the two keyhole slots on the
    back of the telephone, and then press the telephone down to secure
    it in place.

4.  If you are mounting on a standard telephone wall plate, plug the
    modular cord into the jack, as shown.  If you are connecting four
    lines, see "Connecting to the Telephone Lines."

5.  To hold the handset in place, lift and rotate the handset guide.
    There is also a handset holder above the regular handset hook that
    lets you temporarily hang the handset without disconnecting the call.
