CONNECTING THE OPAL
Included with the Opal are (one each):
• Base unit • Coiled handset cord • User guide
• Handset • Clear plastic overlay • Line cord
Contact your supplier or Teledex for information on ordering
custom designed and printed faceplates to enhance the look of your
Teledex telephone.
1) Located on the left side of the Opal (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 faceplate 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 the other tabs.

Opal on a nonabrasive surface to prevent scratching.
4) Locate and remove the mounting bracket, firmly push back and
pull up to remove two of the four retaining tabs.
5) Rotate the mounting bracket 180 degrees clockwise so that the
mounting eyelet on the bracket is facing in the same direction as
the other mounting eyelet located on the bottom of the telephone.
6) Insert the top two retaining tabs of the mounting brackets into
the mounting bracket slots (located near the middle of the tele-
phone). Then firmly push down to insert the retaining tabs on the
opposite side of the mounting bracket.
7) Connect a short modular line cord into the jack on the back of
the phone (labeled
LINE). Route the line cord thought the line
cord channel. Connect the other end of line cord to the phone
jack on the wall mounting plate.
