Introduction

2-Line Speakerphone 882, Personal Information Center

The 2-Line Speakerphone 882, Personal Information Center has been designed to meet standards for convenient, reliable service. To get the most from this telephone, please read this manual carefully. It explains in simple steps how to install, use and care for this 882 phone.

You can use the phone as a personal directory, storing names with phone numbers and other important information. The 882 also provides a calendar to assist in time management.

The 882 has unique keys that make setting up your directory or using other functions very easy. It is important to understand how to use these keys - especially the Cursor Control and the Soft Keys

- so you can perform these functions successfully. The Cursor Control moves to a location where you will type in your information. (See page 7 for further explanations of the 882 keys.)

If you subscribe to Caller ID service from your local telephone company, your 882 makes using this service more convenient. The 882 displays the name and number of the calling party after the second ring and keeps a log of the calls.

Caller Identification Service is provided by your local telephone company. There is a fee for this service and it may not be available in all areas. This product cannot identify calls from areas not served by your local telephone company. It can display information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering Caller Identification Service and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

The 882 provides you with the following telephone features: Speakerphone for hands-free talking

Speakerphone Volume Control Enhanced Handset Volume Control Ringer Volume Controls Redial Log (DiLog) of last five numbers dialed AutoDial, Hold, Mute Keyboard for easy entry of names and information Personal Directory for storing names, numbers and information Calendar/Reminder for storing 50 timed reminders

Call Identification stores records of 64 incoming calls

Telephone Jacks and Lines

This phone is designed to work with two telephone lines. In some homes, both lines are wired into the same jack. If you are not sure if your jack is wired for two lines (two different phone numbers from one jack), perform the modular jack test on the opposite page. If you have two different phone numbers coming from one jack, youÕre all set to proceed with installing the line cords and AC power.

Connect Line Cords and AC Power

You should install the phone within 7 feet of both jacks. If either jack is more than 7 feet away you’ll need a longer line cord.
