Important Installation Guidelines

• Install telephone near both a telephone (modular) jack and an electrical power outlet.
• Avoid sources of noise, such as a window by a busy street, and electrical noise, such as
motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
• Avoid heat sources, such as heating air ducts, heating appliances, radiators, and direct
sunlight.
• Avoid areas of excessive moisture or extremely low temperature.
• Avoid dusty locations.
• Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.
CAUTION: Always disconnect all phone cords from the base unit before battery
installation or replacement.

Installing the Phone

The phone may be connected to two 2-line (RJ14C) wall jacks or four single line (RJ11C)
wall jacks to accomodate all four lines.
IMPORTANT: Install batteries and connect the AC power supply to the base unit as
outlined in steps 1 through 3 below prior to connecting the telephone line cords to
insure for proper base station ID assignment.
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.
• Insert a flat bladed screw driver into the battery door latch recess
area and gently pry upward to release the battery door from the
base cabinet bottom.
• Insert the batteries as shown on the diagram inside the battery
compartment.
• Position the two (2) battery door tabs into the base cabinet bottom slots and push
downward until the door latch "snaps" closed.
NOTE: If the low battery icon appears in the display, you need to replace the batteries. It
is important that you replace them as soon as possible to maintain unit operation when
electrical power is off. As a precaution, you may want to write down any stored information
you do not want erased.
IMPORTANT: 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.
