Introduction
MENU DRIVEN DISPLAYS
The 20-2432 Handset and Base feature a user-friendly display, making it easy
to access the many features of this cordless system. The three black keys,
found directly below the LCD screen, are called soft keys. They are called
this because their functions change depending on what you're doing-making
a call, reviewing Caller ID, adding a name and number to your Phone Book,
etc.
For example, when the Handset is in the idle mode, the LCD displays:
In this case, the 3 soft keys access REDIAL, MENU and MEMORY.
When the Handset is active, the LCD displays:
In this case, the 3 soft keys access VOLUME, HOLD and MUTE.

Setup
Plug the AC power adapter into an electrical outlet, and the DC connector
into the back of the base unit.
Connecting to the telephone lines
Your 2-Line 20-2432 will work fine even if you only have one telephone line.
We recommend connecting the modular telephone cord to the jack labeled
LINE 1 / L1 + L2, located on the bottom of the Base Unit. Here are steps for
connecting 2 lines:
If you have 2 Lines coming out of a Single Wall Jack:
Connect a 4-wire (RJ-14) modular phone cord between the wall jack and the
phone jack labeled L1 / L1 + L2.
If you have 2 Lines, each coming out of Separate Wall Jacks:
Connect a modular phone cord from the wall jack you want to designate as
your LINE 1, to the LINE 1 / L1 + L2 jack on the bottom of the Base Unit. Next,
connect a phone cord from the remaining wall jack to the LINE 2 jack on the
Base Unit.
Data Port
Your 2-Line 20-2432 has a Data Port on the back of the Base Unit. This port
provides an easy way to connect your fax machine, laptop computer, modem
or other telephone device for direct access to LINE 2.
The Data Port only provides access to Line 2, so you must have an active line
connected to the LINE 2 jack on the bottom of the Base Unit. Connect a
modular phone cord from the Data Port (look for the small door marked DATA
on the back of the Base Unit) to your fax, laptop, etc.
NOTE: While the Data Port is in use, accidental use of Line 2 by a parallel
phone, your 20-2432, or a Call Waiting ID alert may interrupt the data
transmission.

Spare Battery Charger/Power Backup Function
The 20-2432 uses the spare battery charger in the Base Unit to provide
operational backup in the event of a power failure. With a fully charged battery
pack in the spare battery charger, you will still be able to place and receive
calls from the Handset for up to one hour. During Power Backup mode, you
will not be able to use the Base Unit.
The spare battery pack can also be used to replace a drained handset battery,
ensuring uninterrupted use.

When using the 20-2432 during Power Backup mode, audio quality may be
compromised due to reduced power availability.
1. Open the spare battery charger
by pressing the release button,
located on the left-hand side of
the Base Unit. A drawer will
open to reveal the spare battery
compartment.
