Before You Install

NOTE: To use this product as a two-line phone,
you must have a two-line modular jack or two
separate one-line modular jacks. To use both lines
of a two-line telephone, your local telephone
company must provide two telephone numbers.

Batteries

Before using the telephone, you should install four
AA batteries (not included). If you are connecting
only Line 1 or only Line 2, use two batteries, as
indicated on the bottom of the phone. If you are
connecting both lines, use four batteries.

You can use the phone without batteries to dial and
receive calls using the handset, but it requires batteries
to power the Line Status lights, the headset, and the
Auto Redial feature.

1 Turn the telephone upside down (Figure 1).
2 Remove the base by pressing the tabs located

on the top of the base.

3 Press down on the tab located between the

arrows on battery cover (Figure 2). Remove
the battery cover and insert new AA
batteries, not included (Figure 3).

4 Replace the battery cover.

CAUTION: Always unplug the line cord before

installing new AA batteries.

INSTALLATION

1 Connect line cord(s) to telephone.

• If you have a two-line jack, use only the line
cord with the clear modular plugs on each
end. Plug one end into the jack labeled L1
OR L1/L2 on the back of the telephone.

• If you have two separate jacks, use both line
cords. Insert one end of the cord with the
blue plugs into the jack labeled L1 OR L1/L2
on the back of the telephone. Insert one end
of the cord with the clear plugs into the jack
labeled L2 on the back of the telephone.

2 Attach the base.

Turn the base so that the larger end of the base is
toward the top of the telephone. Attach the base
by inserting the tabs into the slots. Push down on
the large end of the base to lock it into place.

3 Connect the line cord(s) to your modular

jack(s).

• If you have a two-line jack, plug the
free end of the line cord into a modular
telephone jack. Make sure the cord snaps
firmly into place.

• If you have two separate jacks, plug the
free end of the cord with the blue plugs into
the modular jack for Line 1. Plug the free
end of the cord with the clear plugs into the
modular telephone jack for Line 2. Make sure
the cords snap firmly into place.

4 Connect handset to telephone.

5 Set Dial Mode.

This product comes set for touch tone dialing.
Make sure you choose the correct dialing method
(TONE or PULSE); dial pulse dialing will not work
if you have touch tone service.

To set for dial pulse (rotary) service, lift handset
and press L or l, then press P, #, #,
#, 3. To change back to touch tone service, press
P, #, #, #, 8.

To switch from pulse to tone dialing during a
phone call, see “Temporary Tone”under
TELEPHONE OPERATION.

6 Check for dial tone.

Press L, lift the handset, press K
or press h, and listen for a dial tone.
Then press l. If you cannot hear a dial tone,
turn to IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY.

7 Confirm Lines 1 and 2.

To determine which line is which, press L
and call one of your telephone numbers. If you
hear a busy signal, Line 1 is the number you called.
If Line 2 rings, it is the number you called.

Data Port

If you want to connect another device (such as a
modem or fax machine) to the wall jack, you can use
the jack on the phone labeled DATA L2. The data port
uses Line 2; a call picked up on Line 2 at another
extension may interrupt a fax, modem, or message
transmission.

Headset Jack

You can use this telephone hands-free
when you install any AT&T 2.5 mm
headset, purchased separately.

Plug the headset into the jack.
Do not force the connection,
but make sure the plug fits
securely.
