TELEPHONE SETUP

Connecting the Base

1. Remove the battery compartment
cover located on the base bottom.
2. Install a 9V backup battery (not
included) into the battery
compartment as shown and replace
the battery compartment cover.
3. Connect the telephone line cord to the "LINE" jack and to a telephone outlet.
4. Connect the AC power adapter to the 9V DC jack and to an AC outlet. Wait
15 seconds for the answering system to reset before using the telephone.
Note: With standard use, the 9V battery should be replaced every 1-2 years. If
used to save memories during a power outage, it can do this for up to
10 hours, but should then be replaced.
Note: Use only the supplied AC power adapter; connect it to a continuous
power supply. Place the phone close to the AC outlet so that you can
plug in the AC power adapter easily.
Tip: If your telephone outlet is not modular, contact
your telephone company for assistance.

switch on the right side of the handset. Select

TELEPHONE SETUP

Tone/Pulse Switch

1. Select the dialing mode, either Tone or
Pulse, by setting the switch on the
bottom of the base unit.
Note: Changes to the switch position
during a call do not take affect until
the call has ended.
Tip: If you are unsure of the proper dialing mode, make a trial call with the switch set
to Tone. If the call connects, leave the switch as is. Otherwise, set it to Pulse.

Wall Mounting

The BE-3872 telephone may be installed onto two screws (not included)
fastened into the wall. When installing screws into plasterboard walls, use wall
anchors (not included) to ensure that the screws remain secure. Insert the
screws into the wall leaving 3/16" of each screw extending out from the wall.
See the wall mount template on page 33 to properly space the screws in the
wall for mounting. The BE-3872 is not compatible with mounting on a standard
telephone wall plate.
Wall Mounting Instructions:
1. Remove the handset from the base.
2. Adjust the base to the wall mount
position (see illustration).
3. Plug the supplied 7-foot telephone cord
into the LINE jack on the telephone.
4. Connect the telephone line cord to the
wall jack.
5. Insert the AC adapter into the 9V DC
jack on the top of the base.
6. Run the cables down through the cable
channel to allow for flush wall mounting.
7. Slip the telephone base onto the wall, lining up the wall mounting holes over
the screws. Slide the telephone base down so it is firmly in place.
8. Return the handset to the telephone base.
9. Plug the other end of the AC adapter into the AC outlet.
