Installing the Phone

The Motorola ML1000 may be connected to either two 2-line (RJ14C) wall jacks or four single
line (RJ11C) wall jacks to accommodate all four lines. The Motorola ML1100 does not require
connection to telephone lines.
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.
Install 5 AAA-size alkaline batteries (not included) for backup power in the event of a power
failure. To open the battery door, find the tab on the top of the battery compartment. Push
down on the tab and pull away from the phone. A flat bladed screw driver may be needed.
Insert the batteries only as shown on the diagram inside the battery compartment.
NOTE
If the low battery appears in the display, you will need to replace the batteries to ensure unit
operation during a power failure.
IMPORTANT
If you are not going to use the telephone for more than 30 days, remove the batteries to avoid
battery leakage and damage to the unit.
Plug the AC power supply cord into the power jack on the back of the base and the other end
into an electrical outlet.
