IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and understand the Installation Guide & User Manual. When using your telephone
equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury to person, including the following.
2
WARNING: The CL600 Emergency Connect Telephone should be tested regularly to
ensure proper delivery of your pre-recorded emergency message when activated by the
Emergency Button or the Remote Band. This is your responsibility as the user of the
product.
WARNING: Using the CL600 does not guarantee that you will make contact or receive
help. The CL600 is only an aid to assist you in calling for help.
WARNING: Certain structures within the household may block the transmitter signal. It
is up to the user to test the transmitter (Remote Band) within the first 30 days of use to
determine if any dead areas exist, and where they are located.
WARNING: Do not place the CL600 on any metal surface. It could reduce reception
range.
WARNING: The CL600 is capable of amplifying sounds to a loud volume. It is important to
instruct all potential users of its proper operation. It is advised to adjust the volume control
to the minimum level (Low) when not in use and alert other users that hearing damage can
potentially result from misuse.
WARNING: To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, do not use this product near water
(For example, near a bathtub, wash basin, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement
or near a swimming pool) while in the bathtub or shower or when you are wet. If the phone
becomes submerged in water, do not attempt to retrieve it until after you have unplugged
the line cord from the modular wall jack. Do not plug the phone back in until it has dried
completely.
WARNING: Avoid using the telephone during electrical storms. There may be a remote
risk of electric shock from lightning. If the electrical storm is present in your immediate
area, possibility of electrical shock exists.
WARNING: Do not use the phone if you suspect a gas leak in the area. The phone’s
electrical contacts could create a spark, which could ignite any heavy concentration of
leaking gas.
WARNING: Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners on the telephone. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.
WARNING: The Remote Band is not waterproof or water resistant and may not be submerged in water.
IMPORTANT: Test Your CL600! You should check the operation of your CL600 Phone at

PHONE MOUNTING INSTALLATIONS
Choose a location for the CL600 Emergency Connect Telephone that is as central as
possible in the house, while providing access to a modular jack and an AC outlet. The
telephone may be placed on a shelf or table, or may be fixed to a wall using the mounting
bracket.
Plug the AC Adapter into the AC power back on the back of your phone, then into an
electrical outlet or surge protector, if you are using one. NOTE: The adapter is required
for the telephone to work correctly. If the adapter is accidentally unplugged (or in case
of power failure) and if the batteries are dead or not installed, minimal restricted phone
features only will work on the phone (make a call or answer incoming call).
IMPORTANT: Please remove the clear plastic Caller ID tab. This film tab is only for display
and to protect your Caller ID display during shipping.
Desk / Table Use
1. Connect one end of the 6ft telephone cord to the line jack on the back of your CL600
Phone and connect the other end to a modular phone jack (RJ11C).
2. Connect the handset coil cord (curly cord) to the handset and to the telephone (See
diagram #7)
3. Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, your phone is ready
to use. If there is no dial tone, check all your cords to make sure they are plugged
in securely.
.
DIAGRAM #7 – Desk Installation
Wall Mount Use
1. Slide the handset hanger tab out and reverse its position (rotate it 180 degrees).
Slide it back into place so that the hook points up (See diagram #8). This will keep
the handset from falling out of the cradle when it is mounted on the wall.
2. Plug the 8in short phone cord into the telephone jack on the CL600, run phone cord
underneath wall plate adapter and through the opening.
3. Insert the Wall Plate adapter. Hold the wall plate adapter so that the raised mounting
pins line up with the phone’s keyholes on the CL600. Once the holes are lined up,
push the wall plate adapter in towards the CL600 and then slide the plate upwards
until it is securely seated on the phone. (See diagram #9)
4. With the Wall Plate adapter installed, plug the 8in short phone cord into the jack on
the wall.

5. Holding the phone slightly above the mounting screws on the wall jack, push the
phone against the mounting screws so they are hooked into upper and lower keyhole slots on the back of the phone. Slowly slide the phone down until it snaps into
place (See diagram #10).
6. Connect the handset coil cord (curly cord) to the handset and to the telephone.
7. Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, your phone is ready
to use. If there is no dial tone, check all your cords to make sure they are plugged in
securely.
