Connecting your Telephone
1. Carefully remove your telephone from its box. If there

is any visible damage, do not attempt to operate this

equipment. Return it to the place of purchase.

2. Check to be sure that you have all items that come

with your XL50 telephone. You should have a Handset,

Base Unit, AC Adapter, Mounting Bracket, Handset

Line Cord, and Telephone Line Cord.

Choosing a Location
• The XL50 requires a modular phone jack and a
standard 120 Volt outlet for operation.
• The unit should be located in an area where it is easy
to see the visual display and lighted ringer.
• Choose a location that is out of the way of normal
activities.
• The unit can be used as a desk top phone or wall
mount phone.

WARNING:

Always connect the AC adapter to the

phone before you connect it to the AC power. When you
finish, disconnect the AC power before you disconnect it
from the telephone.

Desk Mounting Instructions
Follow these instructions to place the phone on a desk or
table top using the supplied bracket.

the jack marked LINE located on the back of the

jack. See Figure 2

2. Insert the plug of the AC adapter into the jack marked

DC 9V located on the back of the base unit. Then plug

GETTING STARTED

There are five initial steps involved in setting up
your XL50

1. Insert four AA alkaline batteries for back-up in case of

AC power outage. See below.

2. Decide if you want the phone to sit on a desk or hang

on the wall.

3. Connect the telephone components. Pages 15-16.
4. Program up to 10 telephone numbers to call

with the press of a memory button. See Page 18.

5. Set up Notification Options. See Page 20.

Installing the Backup Batteries
If there is a power outage, the XL50 will operate for up
to 48 hours with four AA alkaline backup batteries (not
included). If the phone is not in use, the batteries will stay
charged for several months. See Figure 1.

To install new batteries:
1. Slide open the battery compartment cover on the

bottom of the telephone. To open the battery

compartment, use a pen or similar fine point

instrument to press into small opening below the

compartment door. This opening is pointed out with

the #2 in Figure 1.

2. Install four fresh batteries. Be sure to observe battery

polarity as imprinted on the base of the compartment.

The battery indicator on the top panel will light up if

the batteries are running low.

The phone operates as a regular phone if there is no
power or battery. Certain functions of the phone do
require power however. If no power is being supplied to
the phone, it will have no indicator lights, the loud ringer
will be disabled, there will be no amplification, and the
lighted keypad will not be lit.
