Setting up
Follow these steps to set up your
Response 123 for use.
Plan the location of your
Response 123
Situate your Response 123 close
enough to the phone and mains power
sockets so that both cords will reach.
1 Check your telephone
wall socket
2 Plug the power cord into
the back of the machine
To prevent the cord being pulled out
accidentally, route the cord through
the channel on the base of your
Response 123.
If you do not have a modern phone
socket, call Freephone 0800 800 150
and ask for a BT engineer to come
and fit the correct one. This is a
chargeable service.
