Installing the Phone  
1. Choose an area near an electrical outlet and  
telephone wall jack. Your phone should be placed  
on a level surface, such as a table top or desk.  
2. Install 4 AAA-size alkaline batteries (not  
included) for back up power in the event of a  
power failure.  
CAUTION: Unit will not work if electrical power  
fails and batteries are depleted or not installed.  
Therefore it is important that you replace them  
when “REPLACE BATTERY” shows in display in order  
to maintain unit operation. As a precaution, you  
may want to write down any stored information you  
do not want erased.  
• Open the battery compartment door located on  
the bottom of the phone by inserting a flathead  
screw driver into the battery door latch area and  
gently tilting the screw driver away from the  
battery door to release the latch.  
• Insert the batteries as shown on the diagram  
inside the battery compartment.  
• Snap the battery compartment door back into  
place.  
IMPORTANT: If you are not going to use the telephone for  
more than 30 days, remove the batteries because they can  
leak and damage the unit.  
3. Connect the AC power adaptor to an electrical  
outlet and the plug connector to the back of the  
base.

If you have two telephone lines installed on a single jack, plug one end  
of the straight telephone line cord into the jack marked Line 1+2 on  
the back of the base. Plug the other end into the 2-line wall jack.  
If you have two separate telephone line jacks, plug one telephone line  
cord into the jack marked Line 1+2 and another cord into the jack  
marked Line 2. Plug the other end of each line cord into separate wall  
jacks.

the other end into the jack on the handset, and place the handset in

Connections and Setup  
Data Port  
This phone has a DATA PORT jack to connect an auxiliary phone device, such as a fax  
machine, computer modem, answering machine, or even a cordless phone.  
The DATA PORT switch on the back of the phone controls the DATA PORT jack so you can  
choose Line 1 or Line 2.  
Use the DATA PORT jack to hook up your fax machine, for example, and then set the DATA  
PORT switch to 2 in order to receive faxes on the phone number for Line 2.  
If you are talking to someone on Line 2 and want them to fax something to you, change  
the DATA PORT switch to 1 and give him the phone number for Line 1. Your fax machine  
can now receive calls on Line 1.  
IMPORTANT: Be sure to switch the fax machine back to the normal line when you are done because  
outside callers who may not know that you have multiple lines will not be able to reach your fax  
machine if they dial the normal fax line.
