switch to the Tone position (T).

3. If you are unsure which type of service you

INSTALLATION
Line Cord Connection

Connect the straight end of the cord to the
modular phone jack on the wall. Make sure the
plug snaps firmly in place (see Diagram B).

Diagram B

With a four prong style jack, simply use a plugin
modular adapter (see Diagram C).

Diagram C

Earset Cord Connection

Insert the earset plug (A)
into the jack on the unit
(B) (see Diagram D ).

Diagram D

EARSET

The earset can be used on either
the left or right ear. Adjust the
swivel cap (B) so that the earset is
compatible to either the right or left
ear. For an ideal fit on virtually any
ear, the SW9260 comes with two
different sized receiver brackets.
The larger receiver bracket is
already installed on the earset. To use the smaller
receiver bracket, twist off the larger receiver
bracket by turning counterclockwise. Replace
with the smaller receiver bracket by turning
clockwise. Rotate the microphone boom (A) so
that the microphone cap (C) is pointed towards the
mouth.

Receiving a Phone Call

1. When your phone rings, slide the On/Off switch
to the On position. The On/Off switch LED turns
On.

2. To disconnect the line, slide the On/Off switch to
the Off position. The On/Off switch LED turns Off.

Dialing a Call
NOTE: Before dialing, make sure the Tone/Pulse

switch is correctly positioned for your type of
service.
Slide the On/Off switch to the “On” position, wait for
a dial tone, then press the keys for the number you
want. Your Conairphone

TM

(in pulse setting) uses
electronic pulses to simulate dialing. You might
hear pulsing for a second or two after the last
button has been pressed.

KEY FEATURES
The SW9260 includes an earset cord clip for added

convenience!

T o use the earset cord
clip, put on the earset.
Slide the clip onto clothing
with the cord holder facing
out. Place the cord over
the holder and press
down to secure.

BELT CLIP

Convenient belt clip for mobility
and comfort

NECK STRAP OPTION

For added convenience, the SW9260 includes a
lanyard that can allow you to wear the unit around your
neck. We suggest you attach the lanyard to the black
ring around the unit, where the receiver volume and
tone/pulse switches are located. This will make it easier
to read the keypad numbers and text when dialing.

LAST NUMBER REDIAL

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

FLASH
The FLASH key can be used to retrieve a new dial

tone after ending a call.
NOTE: The FLASH button is also a useful feature for

special telephone service such as call waiting and three
party calling. Press briefly, release, and perform the
custom call procedure. After you have used the FLASH
function, and you wish to use the REDIAL function, you
must reset the unit before the redial function can be
used. Reset the telephone by turning the On/Off switch
to Off and then to the On position.

RECEIVER VOLUME CONTROL

The Receiver Volume Control is located on the side
of the phone. This control allows you to adjust your
receiver volume from normal to high for a more
comfortable listening level.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Problem: No dial tone

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

• Are cords damaged in any way?

• Try another phone jack. If your
CONAIRPHONETM works on another jack, there
may be 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.

• 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.
Problem: The sound volume is too low.

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