SELECTING A LOCATION TO INSTALL YOUR TELEPHONE
The phone may be used on a desk or mounted on a wall. Select a location which meets the following requirements:
1. Near an AC (electrical) outlet.
2. Near a telephone line jack.
3. Away from any electrical machinery, appliances, and metal walls or filing cabinets.
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
The phone requires three 1.5 volt, AA-size batteries, preferably alkaline, (batteries not included). Batteries are re-
quired for the retention of user programmed settings during a power outage.
NOTE:
In the event of a power outage, your IBM-412CID telephone will not operate until power is restored.
To install the batteries:
1. Turn the unit over (if unit is wall-mounted, lift it off the wall).
2. Open the battery compartment by removing the safety screw and pressing the tab to release the cover.
3. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment as indicated.
4. Reinstall the battery compartment cover and safety screw.
NOTE:
When replacing batteries in the future, keep the AC power adapter line connected to the phone to avoid memory
loss.
CONNECTING YOUR TELEPHONE LINES
Wherever you intend to locate each phone, have your local telephone company install as many telephone lines and
wall jacks as necessary to enable you to connect each telephone. If possible, have 2 two-line (RJ14) wall jacks installed
instead of 4 single-line (RJ11) wall jacks (see illustrations on pages 13 and 14). Each telephone must be connected to
each telephone line in order for it to access every line in the system.
1. If you have 4 single-line wall jacks, you will need to use a two line coupler (not included) to provide the required
2 two-line (RJ14) telephone jack(s).
2. The two adapter coupler can be purchased in most electronic stores.
3. All lines must be connected to each extension in the same manner. Switching connectors or lines to connectors
will result in improper operation.
4. All extensions must be connected to [LINE 1] for intercom, paging and transfer functions to operate.
USING THE DATA JACK
The jack located on the rear of the telephone labeled “DATA” is a convenience jack. It is useful for connecting a FAX
machine or PC when there is no telephone jack available for that device. The DATA jack allows connection to Line 2
only. An installation using two RJ11 telephone jacks results in Line 1 and Line 3 being active (See diagram on page 16).
In this case the DATA jack is not active and can not be used.
NOTE:
Many of the advanced system features of the BE-412CID require the use of Line 1. Because of this it is not recom-
mended that electronic devices (modems, FAX machines, door bells, etc.) Be connected to Line 1.
