CONNECTING THE OPAL SERIES
1) Located on the left side of the Opal Series (as the phone is facing you) is a modular
jack. Insert one end of the coiled handset cord into this jack (you should hear the coil
cord click when properly inserted).
2) Insert the other end of the coiled handset cord into the modular jack on the handset.
3) Turn the telephone so the back panel is facing you. Insert either end of the line cord
into the jack on the back of the telephone labeled LINE.
4) Insert the other end of the line cord into a telephone wall outlet jack.
5) Once your telephone is connected, remove the plastic overlay and place the paper face
plate over the keys. Replace the plastic overlay by hooking the tabs on the overlay into
the recessed slots located on both sides. The overlay is easiest to insert when; the left
or right side tabs are inserted first, and the middle of the overlay is slightly bowed to
allow for insertion of tabs

PROGRAMMING THE AUTO DIAL KEYS
The Opal 2000 series has up to eleven (11) programmable AUTO DIAL keys. Follow the

an active telephone line.

FLASH KEY
The FLASH key, when programmed behind an auto dial key, provides a timed line
interrupt typically used for accessing PBX/CO features such as transfer or conference. The
timing of the hookflash is programmable, with the factory default set to 600 milliseconds.
