CONNECTING THE
HANDSET
Plug one end of the supplied coiled cord
into the modular jack on the left side of
the phone and the other end into the
modular jack on the handset. Then
place the handset on the base.
Note: Your local RadioShack store sells
a variety of longer coiled handset cords,
which are especially useful when you
mount the phone on the wall.
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set T/P (Tone/Pulse) for the type of
service you have. If you are not sure
which type you have, do this simple test.
1. Be sure T/P is set to T .
2. Lift the handset and listen for a dial
tone.
3. Press any number except 0.
Note: If your phone system requires
that you dial an access code (9, for
example) before you dial an outside
number, do not press the access
code either.
If the dial tone stops, you have
touch-tone service. If the dial tone
continues, you have pulse service.
4. If you have pulse service, set T/P to
P . Otherwise, leave it set to T .
SETTING THE RINGER
VOLUME
RINGER controls the volume of the
phone’s ring. To adjust the ringer vol-
ume, set
RINGER to HI or LO .
If you do not want the ringer to sound,
set
RINGER to OFF . You can still make
calls with the ringer off, and you can an-
swer calls if you hear another phone on
the same phone line ring or if you see
the NEW CALL indicator flashing.
