Setting up your VTech VT 2960
1. Choose an area near an electrical
outlet and telephone wall jack(s).
2. Plug the AC power adaptor into the
electrical outlet and the DC
connector to the back of the Base
Unit.
CAUTION: Use only the AC adaptor
shipped with your VT 2960. This is a
Class 2 AC adaptor, specifically designed
for use with your telephone.
3. Set the TONE/PULSE switch, located
on the underside of the Base Unit.
Select the mode compatible with your
local telephone service (for most areas,
TONE is the preferred dialing mode).
4. Set the Base Unit RINGER switches
to ON or OFF, depending on your
preference.
5. C H A R G E T H E H A N D S E T
BATTERY PACK BEFORE USE.
The battery pack should be charged
for 16 hours before using your
phone for the first time.
NOTE: Connect power to the Base Unit
before placing the Handset into the cra-
dle.
6. Connect the telephone line cords:
If you have 2 telephone lines in-
stalled on a single jack (type RJ-
14), use the 2-line cord provided. This
is a 4 wire cord . Plug one end of this
cord into the jack marked
L1 or L1/
L2, located on the back edge of the
Base Unit. Plug the other end of this
cord into your 2-line wall jack.
If you have 2 separate telephone
line jacks (2 RJ-11 jacks), plug one
telephone line cord into the jack
marked
L1 or L1/L2, and another
cord into the jack marked
L2. In this
situation, it does not matter which line
cord you choose for each line. Plug
the other end of the 2 line cords into
your separate wall jacks.
NOTE: For two line operation, you must
have 2 telephone lines, each with their
own unique phone number. If you have
only one telephone line, your
VT 2960
will still operate, but only as a single line
phone.
7. CHECK FOR DIAL TONE. After the
battery pack is charged, raise the
Base Unit Antenna to an upright
position. Then, pick up the Hand-
set and press LINE 1 or LINE 2.
The LCD should display HANDSET
ON
1 (or 2), and you should hear a
dial tone. If you do not hear a dial
tone, there may be a problem with
the telephone jack or the wiring.
