Radio Shack Chronomatic-300, User Manual

Page: 7 / 16

NOTE: Radio Shack sells longer coiled handset cords that are
especially useful when you mount the telephone on a wall.
5. Plug the cord's other end into the other modular jack on the phone's
base.
6. Thread the AC power cord downward and into the groove on the left of
the back of the phone's base.
NOTE: If necessary, reconnect the AC power cord to a standard AC
outlet.
SETTING THE RINGER SWITCH
Your telephone has a RINGER HIGH/LOW/OFF switch. Set the switch as
follows:
HIGH - The ringer sounds a louder tone.
LOW - The ringer sounds a quiet tone.
OFF - The telephone does not ring. You can still make outgoing calls and,
if an extension phone rings, you can answer incoming calls.
SETTING THE TONE/PULSE SWITCH
Set the TONE/PULSE switch for the type of service you have. If you are not
sure which type you have, do this simple test.
1. Set TONE/PULSE to TONE.
2. Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone.
3. Press any number button other than 0.
NOTE: If your phone system requires that you dial an access code (such
as 9) before you dial an outside number, do not press 0 or the
access code.
If the dial tone stops, you have touch-tone service.
If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service.
4. If you have pulse service, set the TONE/PULSE switch back to PULSE.
