Rotary Lines. Can be used as a direct

replacement for rotary phones. If your home is

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 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 CONAIRPHONE (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.

KEY FEATURES

Your CONAIRPHONE remembers the last
number dialed. If the number you dial is busy

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.

Receiver Volume Control

The receiver volume control is located on the
side 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. (see Fig. 3).

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
CONAIRPHONE

TM

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.

The REN is used to determine the quantity of
devices you may connect to your telephone line
and still have all of those devices ring when
your telephone number is called. In most, but
not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all
devices connected to one line should not
exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of
devices you may connect to your line, as
determined by the REN, you should contact
your local telephone company to determine the
maximum REN for your calling area.
