Examples of 1-Line and 2-Line Cords

RJ-11 One line cord

RJ-14 2 line cord

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.

Installation of Battery Pack in Handset

Getting Started

Follow the steps below:

1. Remove the battery cover by

pressing on the indent and sliding downward.

. Place the new battery pack in the

handset with the metal contacts aligned with the charge contacts in the battery compartment.

3. Replace the battery cover by

sliding it upwards.

. If the new battery pack is not

already charged, place the handset in the base unit, or a remote charging stand, and allow it to charge for 12 hours. After initial charge, a maintenance charge of 8 hours should be sufficient.

Charging Of Handset Battery Pack

The Handset of your 20-2432 cordless telephone is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. It charges automatically whenever the Handset is in the Base Unit.

You should charge the battery pack for 12 hours when you first receive your phone. You'll know the battery pack needs charging when:

• The low battery message is displayed :

• The handset seems completely dead, the LCD is completely clear and does not activate when you press the keys.

IMPORTANT:

1. Do not dispose of a battery pack in a fire, the cell may explode. 2 . Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Toxic substances may be released,

causing harm to eyes or skin.

3. Exercise care in handling battery packs in order to prevent an accidental short of the charge contacts, potentially causing the battery pack to overheat.

4. Do not dispose of this battery pack into household garbage. Contact your local recycling organization for recommended disposal sites.

CAUTION: Use only the power supply provided with your cordless phone.

IMPORTANT: FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE OF YOUR CORDLESS TELEPHONE SYSTEM:

1. Choose a central location for your Base Unit.

2. Install your Base Unit and Extension Handsets away from electronic equipment, such as personal computers, television sets and microwave ovens.

3. In locations where there are multiple cordless telephones, separate base units as much as possible.

4. Install your telephone equipment away from heat sources and sunlight.

5. Avoid excessive moisture, dust or extreme cold.

BEFORE USING YOUR HANDSET CAREFULLY PEEL OFF THE PROTECTIVE FILM COVERING THE DISPLAY.

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.

NOTE :

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.

2. Place a battery pack in the drawer with the charge contacts facing up and to the right.

3. Push the drawer closed.

The spare battery takes 24 hours to fully charge a drained battery.
