Cradle Tab The cradle tab can be positioned for desk installation of the telephone base, or to hold the handset in place for wall installation. Directory Use the directory on the telephone base to record emergency and frequently-called numbers.
To install your telephone, you must have a modular wall jack at the desired location, or a 4-prong jack that can be modified with a 4-prong adapter. If your telephone line does not have a modular wall jack, or a jack that can be modified, you must have one installed.
NSTALLING DESK INSTALLATION To install as a desk telephone, use the long modular line cord provided and refer to the diagram. • On the bottom of the telephone base, locate the modular jack inside the cavity. Plug one end of the line cord into the jack.
• When you hear dial tone, your telephone is ready to use. • If you do not hear dial tone, refer to the Telephone Service Problems part of your manual. DIRECTORY CARD Remove the clear plastic cover from the directory card tray, and remove the card.
1. Set the ringer volume control. If the control is set to OFF, you will not hear the ringer when someone calls you. 2. Your telephone has a TONE-PULSE switch. Set the switch to match the dialing service from the telephone company.
