Installation
Power connection
Plug the connector of the base power adaptor to the connector
jack at the bottom of the base unit. Then plug the adaptor into an
electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
Use only the base
power adaptor
supplied with this
product.
If your home has
specially wired
alarm equipment
connected to the
phone line, be sure
that installing the
system does not
disable your alarm
equipment. If you
have questions
about what will
disable alarm
equipment, contact
your telephone
company or a
qualied installer.
If the battery has
not been previously
charged, place
the handset in the
base, and allow
it to charge for at
least 16 hours.
Data port
The data port at the bottom of the base unit provides an easy way to connect the fax machine, laptop
computer, modem, or other telephone devices for direct access to LINE 2. The data port only provides
access to line 2, so it is necessary to have an active line connected to the line 2 jack at the bottom of the
base unit. Connect a phone cord from the data port (marked DATA at the bottom of the base unit) to your
fax, laptop, etc.
