INSTALLATION
Handset Installation
1. Plug one end of the handset cord into the jack on the side of the telephone
base.
2. Plug the other end of the handset cord into the handset and put the
handset on the telephone base with the screen facing up.
3. Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone. If there is no dial tone, see In
Case of Difficulty at the back of this manual.
4. Set the RINGER switch on the side of the telephone base to OFF, LO, or HI
according to your preference. If it is set to OFF, this telephone will not ring
when there is an incoming call, although the NEW CALL light will flash.
NOTES:
• The telephone works immediately after installation with the default feature
settings (see Feature Settings Summary on page 16). You can make and
answer calls as soon as the telephone is connected to a modular
telephone wall jack. Batteries must be installed in order to activate the
caller ID features and memory (see Battery Installation on page 9).
• If you subscribe to caller ID services from your local telephone service
provider, follow the instructions in Set Home Area Code on page 19 for the
telephone to properly recognize and dial calls. It may be necessary to
follow the instructions in Set Local Area Codes on page 20.
