INSTALLATION

Connecting the Phone

To connect the phone

1. Connect the coiled cord to the jacks in the handset
and the side of the base.

2. Follow the “Setting up CID500” instructions to set
up your system.

3. After the Caller ID setup has been completed,
connect the telephone line cord into the wall outlet.
With a four prong style jack, simply use a plug in
modular adaptor.

Connecting the Telephone Clock Radio

Simply plug in the AC power cord.

For Your Safety

The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider
than the other) and only fits into AC power outlets one
way. If the plug won’t go into the outlet completely, turn
the plug over and try to insert it the other way. If it still
won’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the
outlet, or use a different one. Do not attempt to

bypass this safety feature.

Battery Backup during Power Failure

1. Four AAA alkaline batteries are required for Caller
ID memory backup during a AC power failure.

2. A 9V alkaline battery is required for clock and alarm
time backup during power failure.

3. If the power goes off, the Radio and CD will not
play. However, the displays remain visible and the
clock continues to run.

If a power failure occurs and there are no batteries in
the battery compartment, all time, alarm, and memory
settings and CID memories will be lost. When power
is restored the clock display may read 12:00.
