modular plug on each end. Use this cord to connect
the telephone to a modular jack.

that you want to store in each
memory location.

Reinstall the card and clear
plastic cover.

2 . Connect line cord to telephone

Plug the long line cord into the
jack on the underside of the tele­phone base. Then feed the line
cord through the channel pro­vided so the telephone sits flat
on your table or desk during use
(Figure 1).

3 . Connect line cord to wall jack

Plug free end of
the line cord into a modular
jack. Make sure it snaps firmly
into place.

4 . Set DIAL Mode switch

This product comes set in the
tone (TT) mode. Make sure you choose the
correct dialing method (TT/DP); touch tone dial­ing will not work if you have dial pulse service.

Plug one end of the coiled handset cord into the
handset, and the other end into the base. Then
hang up.

6 . Check for dial tone

Lift the handset and listen for dial tone. If you can­not hear a dial tone, refer to “In Case of Difficulty”
and try to correct the problem.

TO DISCONNECT the telephone, squeeze the

Ringer Vo l u m e

The Ringer Volume switch allows you to turn the

The switch has three volume positions.

computer systems (e.g.,

during a call:

1 . Dial a telephone

number with the DIAL Mode switch set to
P U L S E .

Emergency Numbers: You may choose to store
emergency numbers in the one-touch memory loca­tions marked with fire, police and medical symbols.

However, we recommend that you also write the
telephone number on the directory card so that if
the memory feature does not function, you can still
manually dial an emergency number.

If you choose to store non-emergency numbers in
these locations, it is important to remember that
someone visiting your household may assume that
they are dialing an emergency telephone number
when they press one of these emergency symbols.

NOTE: You may choose to store emergency
numbers in memory locations marked with fire,
police and medical symbols. However, speed
dialing and emergency calling symbols are
provided only as a convenience. The manufacturer
does not assume responsibility for customer
reliance upon this memory feature.

N O T E : Although testing the programming of emer­gency numbers is not a recommended procedure, if
you do make a call to an emergency number:

A . You must remain on the line and briefly explain

the reason for the call before hanging up.

B . Programming/testing of emergency numbers

should be performed in the early morning or
late evening (off-peak hours).

IN CASE OF DIFFICULT Y

If this telephone does not work properly, try the fol­lowing suggestions before seeking repair assistance.

No Dial Tone

☞ Make sure all plugs are connected properly.

Inspect the line cord connections at the modular
jack and at the telephone. Also inspect the coiled
handset cord connections at both ends.

☞ Unplug the telephone and connect it to another

modular jack. If it still does not work, try another
telephone; if neither telephone works, the problem
is not in your telephone. The trouble may be
caused by local telephone company lines, central
office equipment, or the wiring in your home.

Calls Cannot Be Dialed, Or Are Dialed Slowly

This product comes set in the tone (TT) mode. Make
sure you choose the correct dialing method (TT/DP);
touch tone dialing will not work if you have dial pulse
s e r v i c e .

If you have tone dialing service, you can use either
tone or dial pulse mode. If you set the switch to T T,
numbers are dialed much more quickly.

Telephone Does Not Ring

☞ Make sure the Ringer volume switch is not set

to O F F.

☞ If there are several other phones on the same line,

try disconnecting some of the other telephones.
Having too many telephones can also create
problems such as low ringer volume or impaired
quality during calls.

Other Problems

Make sure you have followed all the instructions in
this manual. If you continue to have problems, call
1 800 222-3111. If you cannot correct the problem,
disconnect the telephone and refer to the warranty
i n f o r m a t i o n .
