Installation
Installing and Replacing the Batteries
CAUTION: Before opening the battery
compartment, be sure that the telephone is not
plugged into a wall jack and that any external
equipment (e.g., fax machine, extension phone,
etc.) is disconnected from the telephone.
Your phone uses 4 AA-size alkaline batteries for receiving
and storing Caller ID records and for storing the numbers
you use for memory dialing, pulse dialing, and redial.
You will have approximately 90 seconds to replace
the batteries before the memories stored are lost.
Please read the instructions before replacing
the batteries and have the batteries ready to be
inserted beforehand.
If the low battery icon appears in the display, you
need to replace the batteries. It is important that
you replace the batteries as soon as possible in
order to maintain Caller ID operation.
If you are not going to use the telephone for more
than 30 days, remove the batteries because they
may leak and damage the unit.
1) If necessary, disconnect the telephone cord and remove
the desk stand. (To remove the desk stand, turn the base
over, press in on the tabs and slip them out of the slot.)
2) Release the
latch on the
battery
compartment
and remove
the cover.
3) Insert 4 AA-
size alkaline
batteries as
shown on the
diagram in the
battery compartment.
4) Snap the battery compartment door back into place and
replace the desk stand.
5) Connect the line cord and check your memory locations.

Connecting the Telephone Line
To use two-line features, you must subscribe to two
telephone lines from your local phone company.
Your phone company might provide these lines
on two separate modular jacks or on only one jack
(a two-line or four-wire jack); if you have one jack
for both lines, the phone company controls which
number is line 1.
1) Connect one of the included two-line telephone cords to
the LINE 1+2 jack. If your phone company uses a
separate phone jack for each line, connect the other
telephone cord to the LINE 2/DATA jack.

2) Connect the cord from LINE 1+2 to a two-line phone
jack.
OR
If your phone company uses a separate phone jack for
each line, connect the cord from LINE 1+2 to the jack for
line 1; then, connect the cord from LINE 2/DATA the jack
for line 2.
3) Set the ringer volume for each line (rinGer 1 for line 1 and
rinGer 2 for line 2) to the desired loudness.
OFF - Telephone will not ring.
LO - Sound will be lowest.
HI - Sound will be loudest.
The unit is properly installed if you pick up the
handset and hear the dial tone. Otherwise, recheck
all installation steps.
Data Port
If both of your telephone lines are the same modular
jack, you can use the LINE 2/DATA jack to connect an
auxiliary device, such as a fax machine, computer modem,
answering machine, or extension phone. The auxiliary
equipment will make and receive calls on line 2 only.
Wall Mounting
Your speakerphone can also be mounted on a wall plate
(not included).
To prevent the handset from falling out of the
cradle while the phone is hanging on the wall, you
must switch both the handset hook and the desk
stand to their wall-mount positions.
1) On the front of the base, pull
the handset hook out of the
slot. Rotate the hook 180
degrees and fl ip it from front
to back. Slide it back into the
slot.
2) Turn the base over and remove the desk stand.
3) Rotate the stand 180 degrees, and insert the hooks
marked WALL into the notches marked WALL. Press in on
the tabs and snap the stand into place.
4) Connect the two-line telephone cord to the wall jack
and the LINE 1+2 jack on the phone. If desired, wrap any
excess cord around the cord hooks as shown.
5) If necessary, connect a cord connected to LINE 2/DATA,
and pull it up out of the way.
• Place the mounting slots over the pins on the wall plate,
and slide the base down to lock it into place.
