1User’s Manual
•You must have a modular telephone jack and an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch near where you’re installing the phone.
•The total length of telephone wiring used in this system is important. If the total length of telephone wiring is more than
600 feet, you may need to use a special filter device. You can call 1 800 222–3111 for information about this filter. You’ll need to contact a professional to install this filter.
•Identify the number of phone lines you’ll use.
•Plan the layout of your phone system.
•All connected phones must have the same Line 1 phone number for the Intercom and Page features to work.
•Assign a different Intercom Extension Number (11 through 22) to each system phone. You’ll need to do this individually at each telephone.
•Decide if you want a private line. A private line does not appear on all connected phones.
•Choose your setting for each feature. You will need to program the features during installation (see “Features List”).

If more than one extension is assigned the same extension number, a repeating short ring (error ring) will sound at all extensions.
