You must have a modular telephone jack and an electrical outlet
not controlled by a wall switch near where you’re installing the
phone.
The total length of telephone wiring used in this system is
important. If the total length of telephone wiring is more than
600 feet,you may need to use a special filter device. You can call
1 800 222–3111 for information about this filter. You’ll need to
contact a professional to install this filter.
Identify the number of phone lines you’ll use.
Plan the layout of your phone system.
All connected phones must have the same Line 1 phone number
for the Intercom and Page features to work.
Assign a different Intercom Extension Number (11 through 22)
to each system phone. You’ll need to do this individually at each
telephone.
Decide if you want a private line. A private line does not appear
on all connected phones.
Choose your setting for each feature. You will need to program
the features during installation (see “Features List”).
