Installation
Follow these steps to install your new answering system for proper operation.
1.
Choose a spot near an electrical outlet and a telephone jack
Your phone requires a modular telephone jack and a standard electrical outlet (110v AC). The power
cord is 7 feet long; make sure there is an electrical outlet within reach of the base. The outlet should
not be controlled by a wall switch; if the switch is ever tuned off, the phone will not operate.
CAUTION: Always make sure that the power and line cords are unplugged before you install a
new battery in the base.
2.
Install the base battery
a)
Turn the base over and hold it with the battery cover door away from you. To release the battery
cover, press down on the arrow and toward the back of the set.
b)
Attach the battery cap to the 9-volt battery included in the package and place the battery in the
compartment.
c)
Slide the battery door back into place.
The base battery is used to retain memory in case of power failure.
When the base battery needs to be replaced, the LO BATT BASE indicator on the answering system will
light. While you are replacing the battery, the answering system memory will remain intact for 1 minute
without power.
1.
Insert the cassettes
Lift the cover. Insert the cassettes with the full reels to the right. The cassettes are identical. Either
can be used for outgoing announcements or incoming messages.
2.
Set DIAL MODE switch
Set the DIAL MODE switch to TONE if you have touch tone service, or PULSE if you have dial pulse
(rotary) service.
3.
Connect the line cord
Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack, and plug the other end into a modular
wall jack. The telephone line cord functions as an antenna, and the cordless phone will operate best if
this cord is kept untangled and as straight as possible.
4.
Plug in the power cord
Plug the AC adapter on the power cord into an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch. The
cassettes will automatically rewind in 10 to 15 seconds. Then the Message Window will show PF.
NOTE: If E1 (no messages) or E2 (no Announcement) appears in the Message Window, you have
not yet inserted the cassettes. Insert the cassettes and press MESSAGES.
5.
Press and release RESET
The system rewinds the message tape and then displays CL in the Message Window. CL means the
clock must be set. The answering system will not record the day and time until you have done so.
6.
Set the clock
The Clock feature will record the day and time of each message received. To set the clock:
a)
Set the VOLUME control to the middle
NOTE: While setting the clock, you must follow the steps quickly. If you pause for more than 60
seconds, the system will announce the complete day and time setting. If you hear the complete
