FCC STATEMENT
We have designed your telephone to
conform to federal regu lations, and you
can connect it to most teleph one lines.
However, each device that y ou connect
to the telephone line draws power from
the line. We refer to this power draw as
the phone’s ringer equivalence number
(REN). The REN is on the bottom of
your phone.
If you use more than one phone or other
device on the line, add up all the RENs.
If the total is more than fiv e (three in rural areas), your phone might not ring.
The ringer operation is impaired, remove one of the devices from the line.
Your telephone c ompli es with Par t 68 o f
FCC Rules

and the REN to your te lephone company. Both numbers are shown on the bottom of the telephone.

CONNECTING THE
HANDSET
Plug one end of the coiled cord into the
modular jack on the handset. Then connect it to the jack on the left side of th e
telephone’s base.
Note:
To mount the phone di rectly on a
wall, you need two screws (not supplied)

CONNECTING AN
OPTIONAL AC ADAPTER
Your telephone operates from telephone
line power. In some areas, however, the
telephone line migh t not provide enough
power to operate all of your telephone’s
features. If the speakerphone’s volume
is too low, even with the volume control
set to its highest leve l, or if the speaker phone does not work, you need to connect the supplied AC adapter.
5Preparation

Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
power source that su pplies
!
9V DC and delivers at least
200 mA. Its center tip must be set to
positive and its plug must fit the telephone's
DC 9V
jack. The supplied
adapter meets these specifications.
Using an adapter that does not meet
these specifications could damage
the telephone or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to
the telephone befor e you connect it
to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapt er from AC power
before you disconnect it from the
telephone.

LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built- in protection

However, lightning striking the telephone or power lines can d amage your

Lightning damage i s not common. Nevertheless, if you li ve in an area that has
frequent electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your telephone during
storms to reduce the possibilit y of damage.
