Step 1: Make sure you have a 115 VAC wall outlet and tele-
phone jack within 6 feet of the place you’ve chosen
to install the telephone. If you have an older 4-prong
jack, you’ll need a modular jack adapter.These
adapters are available from electronic, phone, and
other retail stores.
Step 2: Place the Pulse/Tone Switch, located on the side of
the phone, in either Tone or Pulse (Rotary Dial Pulse).
Make sure you choose the correct dialing mode.
Tone dialing will not work if you have only dial
pulse (rotary) service.

For Wa ll Pla te Insta lla tions
If you prefer, the TeleTalker can also be mounted on a studded
wall phone plate. If you don’t have a phone plate installed,
talk to your phone company or local phone products store.
Step 1: Clip the plastic wall mounting bracket (included) into
bottom of the TeleTalker base unit. (see fig. 7) Make
sure the tabs snap in securely. This will make the
base unit level with the wall.
Step 2: Reverse the handset hanger found in the handset cra-
dle to prevent the handset from falling.
Step 3: Plug the short line cord into the jack on the top of
the telephone and thread the line through the chan-
nel to the cavity on the back of the base unit.
Step 4: Hold the telephone next to the wall-phone jack and
plug the line cord into the jack, leaving any slack in
the base unit cavity. Then push the phone against the
mounting studs so the studs are hooked into the
upper and lower keyhole slots of the phone. Slide
the phone down until it snaps into place. (see fig. 7)
Step 5: Check for a dial tone. If you can’t hear a dial tone,
see In Case Of Difficulty, page 12.
Note: To remove a wall-mounted telephone, slide the phone
up and pull it slightly away from the wall.
Disconnect the line cord by squeezing the clip on the
modular plug and pulling it from the jack.

Even if you don’t have a studded wall phone plate, you can
still mount the TeleTalker on any wall surface within six feet
of a standard modular jack and AC outlet. To mount the
phone farther from the jack you’ll need a longer line cord or
a telephone extension cord. In either case, place the AC
power pack in a location which will not be subject to distur-
bance.
Step 1: Measure and mark the wall for mounting screws.
Mark two points 3-14⁄ inches apart for upper and lower
mounting screws. The lower mark should be 48–52
inches from the floor. Use a level to make sure the
marks are aligned vertically.
Step 2: Install the mounting screws (not included).
Use wood screws for stud mounting, anchor screws
for hollow wall mounting. Drive the screws almost
completely in, leaving a 1
⁄ inch space between the
8
wall surface and the bottom of the screw head (about
the thickness of two stacked pennies).
Step 3: Reverse the handset hanger to prevent the handset
from falling.
Step 4: Mount the TeleTalker.
Hang the telephone on the mounting screws and
push down gently until it snaps into place
Step 5: Connect the line cord to the jack on the top of the
phone. Plug the other end of the line cord into a
modular wall jack.
Make sure it snaps firmly into place.
Step 6: Connect the AC power pack to a wall AC outlet.
Step 7: Check for the dial tone.
If you can’t hear a dial tone, see In Case Of Difficulty,
page 12.
Note: To disconnect the telephone, squeeze the clip on the
modular plug and pull it out of the jack.

When you use the Amplify feature, the TeleTalker operates in
half-duplex mode. This means that while you speak, the hand-
set receiver shuts off. If it did not, the extremely loud vol-
umes produced by the TeleTalker would cause feedback.
When using the TeleTalker in Amplify mode, do not speak
when the other party is speaking.

FCC Re g istra tion Notic e
Your new TeleTalker product has been registered with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This prod-
uct complies with standards in Part 68 of the FCC Rules. The FCC requires us to provide you with the following
information:
1. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network
The FCC requires that you connect your product to the nationwide telephone network through a modular
telephone outlet or jack. The modular telephone outlet or jack to which the telephone must be connected
is a USOC RJ-11C or RJ-11W.
This equipment may not be used with Party Line Service or with Coin Telephone Lines.
2. Notification to the telephone company
The FCC requires that upon request of your local telephone company, you provide the following informa-
tion:
A. The ‘line’ to which you will connect the telephone equipment (your phone number).
B. The telephone equipment’s FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). These
numbers are on the back or bottom of your telephone equipment.
The REN is useful to determine how many devices you may connect to your telephone line and still
have them ring when your telephone line is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all REN’s
should be 5 or less. You may want to contact your local telephone company if you experience prob-
lems.
3. Repair instructions
If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the FCC requires that it not be used
and that it be unplugged from the modular outlet until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to this
telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its authorized agents or by others who
may be authorized by the FCC. For repair procedures, follow the instructions under the section entitled
Warranty.
4. Rights of the telephone company
If your product is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily dis-
continue your telephone service. If possible, they will notify you before they interrupt service. If advance
notice isn’t practical, you’ll be notified as soon as possible. You’ll be given the opportunity to correct the
problem, and you’ll be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that
could effect the proper functioning of your TeleTalker product. If such changes are planned, you’ll be
notified.
5. This telephone is compatible with inductively coupled (Telecoil) hearing aids.
Inte rfe re nc e Inform a tion: Pa rt 15 Of FCC Rule s
Some telephone equipment generates and uses radio-frequency energy and, if not installed properly, may cause
interference to radio and television reception.
Your TeleTalker product has been tested and found to meet the standards for a Class B computing device, as speci-
fied in Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection
against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation.
If your TeleTalker product causes interference to radio or television reception when it’s in use, you might correct
the interference with any one of these measures.
1.
2.
Where it can be done safely, re-orient the receiving telephone or radio antenna.
To the extent possible, relocate the television, radio or other receiver with respect to the telephone equip-
ment.
3. If your telephone product runs on AC power, plug your product into an AC outlet that’s not in the same
circuit as one used by your radio or television.
