clamshell contains the following accessories:

• One 10 ft. straight telephone line cord

• Owner’s Manual

• Warranty Card (Part of Owner’s Manual)

Important Notice

Your CONAIRPHONETM will operate on all systems,
true tone or rotary.

1. If your home is wired for rotary service, move
Tone/Pulse switch to Pulse position (P).

2. If your home is wired for tone service, move
switch to Tone position (T).

3. If you are unsure of the type of service you
have, ask your local telephone company.

1. Pushbutton Dialing Convenience On Rotary
Lines.

phones. If your home is wired for rotary service,
move switch to pulse position and enjoy
pushbutton dialing ease.
NOTE: Your telephone will pulse for a second or
two while you are dialing. This simulates the dialing
action.

2. True Tone Dialing.
If your home is wired for tone service, move switch
to tone position. This can be used as a direct
replacement for tone phones including AT&T’s
Touch Tone® Series and also allows use of long
distance dialing services and tone accessed
computers. NOTE: If your home is not wired for
tone service, you will not be able to make outgoing
calls while in the tone mode. Slide the switch to the
pulse position. You have rotary service.

wall jack. Make sure plug snaps firmly in place

Dialing a Call

NOTE: Before dialing, make sure the Tone/Pulse
switch is correctly positioned for your type of
service. Open the phone and wait for a dial tone,

then press the keys for the number you want to
dial. Your CONAIRPHONETM (pulse setting) uses
electronic pulses to simulate dialing action.
Because of this, you may hear pulsing for a second
or two after the last button has been pressed.

Your CONAIRPHONETM remembers the last
number dialed. If the number you dial is busy or
not being answered, hang up. If you want to redial
the last number automatically, press the REDIAL
button. NOTE: You can redial the same telephone
number as many times as required.However, once
you dial another number, the previous number is
erased.

of your handset. This enables you to adjust the
receiver volume on your telephone handset from
normal to high for a more comfortable listening
level.

Ringer On/Off

Your CONAIRPHONETM features a hamonic tone
ringer. When you don’t want to be disturbed slide
the switch to the OFF position. Now you can still
make outgoing calls, but you will not be disturbed
by incoming call.

Flash

The FLASH key can be used to retrieve a new dial
tone after sending a call. The FLASH key is also a
useful feature for special telephone services such
as call waiting or three party calling. Press briefly,
release and perform the custom call procedures.
NOTE : Call waiting is a service of your local
telephone company.

without the caller hearing your conversation, press
and hold the MUTE key. Release the MUTE key to
resume your conversation with the caller.

Trouble Shooting Guide

Problem: No dial tone

• Check all modular plugs to be sure they have
clicked into place.

• Is cord damaged in any way?

• Try another phone jack. If your
CONAIRPHONETM works on another jack, it is likely
that there is a problem with your wiring.
Problem: I hear my phone dialing, but I can not
get past the dial tone.

• Check the tone/pulse switch. If positioned in
Tone (T) mode, switch to Pulse (P). You may have
pulse dialing service.
Problem :Phone doesn’t ring.

• Is ringer switch set to the “OFF” position?

• How many extensions are connected to your
line? If more than five telephones are installed on
the same line, you may need to contact your local
telephone company to determine the maximum
number of extensions for your calling area.

• Make sure the earpiece is “flipped” closed.
Problem: The sound volume is too low.

• Is another extension off hook? If so, hang up
extension.

Hearing Aid Compatibility

Your CONAIRPHONETM is compatible with
inductively coupled hearing aids.
