Installing the Phone
The phone has the ability to connect to two landlines and a
Bluetooth®
cellular telephone. The landlines may
be connected by a single two-line cable or two single-line cables.
Please see page 15 for instructions on how to
connect your RCA 25216 to your Bluetooth® cellular phone.
1. Choose an area near an electrical outlet and a telephone wall jack (RJ11C), and place your corded telephone
on a level surface, such as a desktop or tabletop, or you may mount it on the wall.
2. Install 5 AAA-size alkaline batteries (not included) for back up power in the event of a power failure.
• I
nsert a flat-head screwdriver or similar object into the battery door latch and gently pry upward to
release the battery door from the base.
• Inse
rt the batteries inside the battery compartment as shown on the diagram.
•
Snap the battery compartment door back into place.
NOTE: If the low battery icon appears in the display, you need to replace the batteries. It is impor-
tant that you replace them as soon as possible to maintain unit operation when electrical power is
IMPORTANT: If you are not going to use the telephone for more than 30 days, remove the batteries
because they can leak and damage the unit.
3. Plug the power supply cord into the power jack on the back of the base and the other end into an electrical
outlet.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of personal injury, fire, or damage use only the T-2757 (base)
power adaptor listed in the user’s guide. This power adaptor is intended to be correctly
orientated in a vertical or floor mount position.
4. Connect the telephone line cords:
If you have 2 single-line wall jacks installed in your home or office, you can use adaptors/couplers (not
included) to combine the 2 single telephone lines into 1 dual lines. The adaptor/coupler may look similar to the
one pictured here and can be purchased from your local telephone products retailer.
