-inch (6.3 mm) from the wall. (Be sure
to use screws with heads that fit into the
keyhole slots on the base’s bottom).
2. Plug one end of the supplied long modu-
lar cord into the modular jack on the
base’s bottom.
3. Route the phone cord through the
groove on the base’s bottom, securing
the cord under the tabs.
4. Fit the heads of the screw into the bot-
tom’s keyhole slots, then slide the base
down until it is secure.
5. Plug the other end of the cord into a
modular phone jack.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Your phone requires four AA batteries (not
supplied) to power the LINE indicators. For
the best performance and longest life, we
recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or dif-
ferent types of batteries.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to lift up the
battery compartment cover, then remove
the cover.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment
as indicated by the polarity symbols (+
and –) marked inside. Be sure each line
compartment has two batteries.
3. Replace and snap the cover into place.
Each LINE indicator requires two batteries
for power. The BATT LOW indicator shows a
line’s battery status when the phone is off-
hook.
If Line 1 is in use, BATT LOW lights when no
battery is installed for Line 1 or when Line 1’s
batteries are low. When this happens, re-
place the batteries.
Note: The BATT LOW indicator remains off
when batteries are sufficient.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the phone
for a month or more, remove the batteries.
Batteries can leak chemicals that can de-
stroy electronic parts.
CONNECTING THE
HANDSET
To connect the handset to the phone’s base,
plug one end of the supplied coiled cord into
the modular jack on the handset.
Plug the other end into the jack on the side of
the base.
Place the handset in the cradle.
Your local RadioShack store sells a variety
of longer coiled handset cords, which are
useful when you mount the system on a wall.
