Setting Up the System

positioned directly below the notches on the unit. Then lift the cover straight up and off the unit.
b)
Insert one 9-volt battery.
c)
Replace the battery cover.
2.
Connect the line cord:
Plug one end of the line cord into TEL LINE, located at the back of the unit,
and plug the other end of the line cord into a modular wall jack.
3.
Connect your telephone:
(If you do not want to connect a telephone to the system, go to step 4)
Plug your telephone line cord into TEL SET, located at the back of the unit.
4.
Connect the power cord:
a)
Plug the right-angle plug on the power cord into POWER located at the back of the unit.
b)
Fit the power cord behind the strain relief tab.
c)
Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch.

Formatting Digital/Computer Chip Memory
When you connect the unit to an electrical outlet, the system automatically begins formatting digital
memory. This takes about 60 seconds.
While the system is formatting memory, the ON/OFF light flashes and the Message Window begins to
count down from
63
to
0
. You cannot use any system features while the formatting routine is in progress.
When memory formatting has been completed, the ON/OFF light stops flashing and remains on. Also, CL
will blink in the Message Window to indicate that you need to set the clock.
NOTE:
If you did not install a battery, or if the battery is low on power or installed incorrectly,
the LOW BATTERY light goes on. To avoid losing messages in the event of a power failure,
install a battery.
System Reset
If the system does not record messages when memory is available or otherwise malfunctions, press RESET,
located on the back of the unit.
CAUTION:
When you press RESET, the system begins the memory formatting process
described earlier. Your announcements and any messages stored in memory will be erased. Also,
the Remote Access code will return to the factory setting of 10.
The RESET button is recessed to prevent your pressing it accidentally.
