Telephone Network Information

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone 

network, the telephone company, where practicable, may notify you that 

temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not 

practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company 

may temporarily discontinue service immediately.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, 

equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the 

operation of its business. If these changes are expected to affect the use or 

performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company will likely 

give you adequate notice to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon termination of your 

telephone from your line.

REN Number

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, 

the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. 
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to 

your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone 

number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices 

connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices 

you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your 

local telephone company.

REN Number is located on the cabinet bottom.

Installing the Phone

Your telephone should be placed on a level surface such as a desk or table top, or 

you can mount it on a wall. A desktop/wall mounting pedestal is built into the 

base of the phone.
1. Slide the RINGER volume switch (on the handset) to the desired volume.
2. Set the receiver volume switch (on the handset) to the desired listening 

volume.

3. Plug the telephone line cord into a modular wall phone jack.
4. Store the extra cord in the grooves in the base.

Wall Mount Installation

Your telephone may also be mounted on a wall plate (not included).

NOTE: To prevent the handset from falling out of the cradle 

while the phone is hanging on the wall, you must reverse the 

handset hook (located on the base).

1.  Push the handset hook up and out of the slot on the base with your 

thumb, rotate the hook 180°, and replace it back in the slot.

2. Plug the telephone line cord into a modular wall phone jack.
3. Slip the mounting holes on the base over the wall plate posts and firmly 

slide the unit down into place (wall plate not included).

Telephone Operation

Redial

This unit redials up to 32 digits. To automatically redial the last number you called:
1.  Pick up the handset and wait for a dial tone.
2.  Press the redial button.

Flash

Press the flash button to activate custom calling services such as call waiting or 

call transfer. Custom calling services are provided by the phone company. 

Receiver Volume

You may control the listening level with the volume switch on the bottom of the 

handset. It has 3 levels: lo, mid, and high.

Ringer Volume

You may control the ringer volume level with the switch located above the touch 

tone pad on the handset.

     = ringer tone will be loud
      = ringer tone will be low
     = telephone will not ring

Troubleshooting Tips

No dial tone.

•  Press and release the hook switch. Check the hook switch: Does it fully 

extend when the handset is lifted from the cradle?

Phone doesn’t ring.

•  Make sure RINGER switch (located on the handset) is set to loud or low.
•  Are you using too many phones on one line? (The total REN of all phones on 

the same line should not be greater than the maximum REN for your calling 

area. See Equipment  Approval Information). 

Other party cannot hear you.

•  Make sure phone cord is securely plugged in. 
•  Make sure extension phones are on the hook at the same time you’re using 

the phone. It is normal for the volume to drop when additional extension 

phones are used at the same time.

Phone “howls” when handset is placed near the base and handset volume 

level is too high.

•  This is normal feedback due to handset volume level being set to maximum.

General Product Care

To keep your telephone working and looking good, follow these guidelines:

•  Avoid putting the phone near heating appliances and devices that generate 

electrical noise (for example, motors or fluorescent lamps).

•  DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture.
•  Avoid dropping and other rough treatment to the phone.
•  Clean with a soft cloth. 
•  Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because this will 

damage the finish.

•  Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship the phone at a later 

date.
