Installing the Phone
Choosing the Best Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one which is not connected to a
switch).
• The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens,
DQGÀXRUHVFHQWOLJKWLQJ
• For better reception, place the base as high as possible.
• The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
• If your home has wired alarm equipment connected to a phone line, be sure that installing the system does
not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact your
WHOHSKRQHFRPSDQ\RUDTXDOLÂżHGLQVWDOOHU
Note: For maximum range:
• Keep the antenna free of obstruction.
• When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position.
• Do not hold the handset where you would block the signal.
• Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance.


12
Wall Mounting the Base
This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate.
1) Snap the wall mount adapter into the notches on the base top.
2) Plug the AC adapter into the DC IN 9V jack.
3) Wrap the AC adapter cord inside the molded wiring channel as
shown.
4) Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
5) Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack.
6) Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone outlet.

WKHZDOO7KHQSXVKLQDQGGRZQXQWLOWKHSKRQHLVÂżUPO\VHDWHG
Note: DO NOT use an AC outlet controlled by a wall switch.
  
  
  
13

Direct Wall Mounting
If you don’t have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the
following:
• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location that could cause a hazard when
inserting screws into the wall.
• Try to mount your phone within 5-feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive wire lengths.
• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.
• Use #10 screws with a minimum length of 1-3/8 inches, with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material
where the base unit will be placed.
1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall, using the appropriate
anchoring device, 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 inch between
the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.
2) Refer to the steps on page 13 to complete the mounting process.

Testing the Connection
Try making a call. If your call does not connect or you cannot get a dial tone, try the following steps:
1) Make sure the AC adapter cord is securely connected to the DC IN 9V jack and a standard power outlet.
2) Check to make sure the battery is fully charged. (If you don’t see the “battery full” icon, check to make sure the
battery is properly connected).
3) Change the dial mode (instructions on page 18).
17
Changing the Dial Mode
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These
days, most phone networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing. If
your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your phone’s dial mode. If you don’t get a dial tone
or can’t connect to the telephone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:
1) Press [menu/clear]. Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the
DIAL MODE submenu.
2) Scroll [ ] to select PULSE.
3) Press [select/ ]. Press [select/ ]ZKHQ\RXDUHÂżQLVKHG
4) Enter the number for this entry (EDIT NUMBER).
Once you have stored a name, EDIT NUMBER appears next. Use the
number keypad to enter the phone number; the phone number can contain
up to 20 digits. If you need the phone to pause between digits when it’s
dialing (for example, to enter an extension or an access code), press [redial/
pause] to insert a two-second pause. You will see a P in the display. You can
also use more than one pause together if two seconds is not long enough.
Each pause counts as one digit.

use this ring tone when this person calls. Use [ ] and [ ] to select one
of the 7 different ring tone options (see Selecting a Ring Tone on page 29 for
a complete list of ring tones). As you scroll through the tones, you will hear
a sample of each tone. When you hear the ring tone you want to use, press
[select/ ]. If you do not want to use a personal ring tone for this phonebook
entry, choose NO SELECTION; the phone will use your standard ring tone
setting.
