Set up

1. Plug the other end of the telephone line cord into the wall socket.
   
2. Check that the Dialling Mode switch on the underside of the base is set to TB for tone dialling with timed break recall.

If connecting to a switchboard you may need to adjust the dialling mode setting, to P or T using the switch on the underside of the base. If in doubt, please consult your service provider.

Desk mounting plinth

To remove the desk mounting plinth, push it in the same direction as the two arrows shown on the plinth. To refit the desk mounting plinth, insert the two lugs on the plinth into the base and push it down into place, as shown by the blue arrows.

Wall mounting (optional)

Before wall mounting, check you are not drilling into any hidden wiring or plumbing. Make sure the telephone line cord will reach the wall socket.

Unclip the stand from the base of the phone and remove it. Re-route the telephone line cord towards the bottom of the phone.

Drill two holes in the wall 70mm vertically apart using an 5mm drill bit.

Insert the wall plugs if necessary, then insert the screws leaving about 5mm protruding from the wall on which to hang the phone.

Slot the holes on the back of the base over the screw heads and gently pull the phone down to fix it securely in place.

Your Converse 2200 is now ready for use.

If your telephone is connected to a switchboard you may need to change the message waiting switch setting on the base of the phone. It is pre-set to MW3 which is for an SX2000 switch.
