System 412 (430-0460A) Installation Faxback Doc. # 7464 Before proceeding with the following installation, choose a location where the wires are not in the way of normal activities. Be sure that the location you select is near both a telephone jack and an AC outlet. CONNECTING THE AC ADAPTER Connect the supplied AC adapter before making any other connection. This is important to properly initialize your telephone. 1. Plug the AC adapter's plug into the AC 9V jack on the back of the telephone. 2. Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet. 3. Route the cable from the AC adapter through the strain relief slot. Caution: Use only the supplied UL-listed adapter with your telephone. Another type of adapter might damage the telephone. INSTALLING AND REPLACING THE BATTERY Be sure to disconnect the telephone cord from the wall's telephone jack before you install or replace batteries. The phone's memory holds memory information for about 5 minutes. If you do not install/replace the batteries within this time, the phone might lose any information in memory. 1. Remove the screw on the battery compartment using a Philips head screwdriver and open the compartment. 2. Remove the old battery and install one fresh 9-volt battery (Radio Shack's Cat. No. 23-553), observing the correct polarity (+ and -). Caution: Incorrect battery installation might damage the telephone. 3. Close the battery compartment cover. Secure the screw. Your System 412 automatically tests the battery condition. When the BATTERY LOW indicator lights, replace 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 side of the telephone. Radio Shack stores sell longer coiled handset cords, which are especially useful if you wall mount the telephone. CONNECTING TO THE TELEPHONE LINES We designed your telephone to connect to up to four telephone lines using two RJ-14 jacks. An RJ-14 jack looks identical to a regular single-line modular jack, but it is wired for two-line connection. If the telephone lines end in an RJ-14 jack, refer to connection A. If they do not, refer to connection B. A. Connecting to RJ-14 Jacks. We supplied two modular telephone cords with your telephone. Use one to connect the first two lines and the other to connect the second two lines. 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 RJ-14 two line jack. Then plug the other cord into the Line 3/4 jack, and plug the other end into the second RJ-14 two-line jack. B. Other Connections If your telephone lines do not end in RJ-14 jacks or if Line 2 and/or Line 4 does not work after you complete the installation, the second line has been wired to the jacks. If this is the case, you can: Pay the telephone company to update your telephone system's wiring. Note: The phone company will ask you for the USOC number of the jack to be installed. This number is RJ-14C. Update the wiring yourself. Radio Shack stores sell the jacks and adapters necessary to convert from the older wiring methods (four-prong adapters, direct wiring). Connect each jack on the telephone to two RJ-11 (single-line) jacks, using two-line couplers (Cat. No. 279-401). MOUNTING YOUR TELEPHONE ON A WALL You can mount your telephone directly on a wall. Follow these steps: 1. Move the bracket from the current location to the wall-mount socket. 2. Mount a standard wall plate at the desired location, or screw two screws with heads that fit into the key-hole slots on the back of your telephone into the wall 3 15/16 inches (100 mm) apart, aligned vertically. The screws should extend 1/8 inch (3 mm) from the wall. Do not overtighten. 3. Align the key-holes on the back of the telephone with the extended screw heads and secure the telephone to the wall. 4. Lift the handset guide and rotate it 180 degrees. This prevents the handset from falling off the cradle. (LB/all-08/30/94)
