Important Information

Equipment Approval Information

Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations and the Technical Requirements for Telephone Terminal Equipment published by ACTA.

1 Notiﬁcation to the Local Telephone Company

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the US number

and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.

The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line

and still have all of these 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 5. 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.

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network

must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

Notes

• This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.

• Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to use your own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local telephone company.

• Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of your telephone from your line.

• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this product does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualiﬁed installer.

2 Rights of the Telephone Company

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network,

the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation; and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.

Important Information

The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment,

operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.

Interference Information

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Privacy of Communications may not be ensured when using this product. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or television that is

“receiving” the interference).

• Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the telecommunications equipment and

receiving antenna.

• Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

the receiving antenna is connected.

If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Ofﬁce, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

Notice: The changes or modiﬁcations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Installation

Important Installation Information

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the telephone line has

been disconnected at the network interface.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is speciﬁcally designed

for wet locations.

Connections and Setup

Installing the Phone

1. Choose an area near an electrical outlet and telephone wall jack. Your phone should be placed on a level surface, such as a table top or desk.

2. Install 4 AAA-size alkaline batteries (not included) for back up power in the event of a power failure.

CAUTION: Unit will not work if electrical power fails and batteries are depleted or not installed. Therefore it is important that you replace them when “REPLACE BATTERY” shows in display in order to maintain unit operation. As a precaution, you may want to write down any stored information you do not want erased.

• Open the battery compartment door located on the bottom of the phone by inserting a ﬂathead screw driver into the battery door latch area and gently tilting the screw driver away from the battery door to release the latch.

• Insert the batteries as shown on the diagram inside the battery compartment.

• Snap the battery compartment door back into place.

MPORTANT: If you are not going to use the telephone for more than 30 days, remove the batteries because they can leak and damage the unit.

3. Connect the AC power adaptor to an electrical outlet and the DC connector to the back of the base.

CAUTION: To reduce risk of personal injury, ﬁre, or damage use only the 5-2719 power adaptor listed in the user’s guide. This power adaptor is intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or ﬂoor mount position.

Connections and Setup

4. Attaching the Desktop Pedestal: A. Turn the phone over so that the bottom of the base is facing up

and the end with data port and line jacks is pointing away from you.

B. Turn the desktop pedestal so that the side with four rectangle

rubber feet is facing you.

C. Insert the tabs on the pedestal into the two lower slots on the

bottom of the base, then push the pedestal downward until the tabs on the top of the pedestal snap (lock) into place.

5. Connect the telephone line cords:

Connections and Setup

If you have two telephone lines installed on a single jack, plug one end of the straight telephone line cord into the jack marked LINE 1+2 on the back of the base. Plug the other end into the 2-line wall jack.

If you have two separate telephone line jacks, plug one telephone line cord into the jack marked LINE 1+2 and another cord into the jack marked LINE 2. Plug the other end of each line cord into separate wall jacks.

NOTE: To use two lines, you must have two telephone lines with unique telephone numbers. If you only have one telephone line, this phone will still operate, but only as a single line telephone.

6. Connect the handset cord: Plug one end of the coiled handset cord into the side of the base and the other end into

the jack on the handset, and place the handset in the cradle.

7. Check for a dial tone. Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, the phone is properly installed.

Connections and Setup

Data Port

This phone has a DATA PORT jack to connect an auxiliary phone device, such as a fax machine, computer modem, answering system, or even a cordless phone.

The DATA PORT switch on the back of the phone controls the DATA PORT jack so you can choose line 1 or line 2.

Use the DATA PORT jack to hook up your fax machine, for example, and then set the DATA PORT switch to 2 in order to receive faxes on the phone number for line 2.

If you are talking to someone on line 2 and want them to fax something to you, change the DATA PORT switch to 1 and give him the phone number for line 1. Your fax machine can now receive calls on line 1.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to switch the fax machine back to the normal line when you are done because outside callers who may not know that you have multiple lines will not be able to reach your fax machine if they dial the normal fax line.

Wall Mounting the Phone

1. Remove the desktop stand from the base of the phone if it is already attached to the base unit.

2. Thread the AC adaptor cord through the cord channel on the bottom of the phone.

3. Connect the line cord to the wall jack and the phone.

4. Slip the mounting circles on the bottom of the phone over the wall plate posts and ﬁrmly slide the unit down into place.

5. Plug the AC adaptor cord into the power outlet.
