Installation
Modular Wall Jack
To install the telephone directly on a modular wall jack:
- Connect the line cord to the LINE CORD jack on rear of telephone body.
- Tuck the line cord into the channel on the back of the phone.
- Peel and stick the rubber pads on the back side of the phone in the 4 corners.
- Hold the telephone body up next to the modular jack and plug the line cord into this jack.
- Tuck the excess line cord into the recess provided on the back of the phone.
- Line up the mounting holes of the telephone body with the mounting studs (screw heads) on the modular jack or wall.
- Push the telephone body against the wall jack and gently pull down.
Wall
If you are not mounting directly onto a modular wall jack, proceed as follows:
- Install the line cord into the LINE CORD jack on the back of the telephone. If the desired location is farther than 7-foot from a wall jack, you will have to obtain a longer line cord available at most hardware stores.
- Place the provided TEMPLATE against the wall in the position desired.
-
Mark the wall by poking either a pen or pencil through the indicated spots on the template.
-
If there is no stud at this location, it will be necessary to install the provided wall anchors. Drill a small pilot hole at the marked locations. Tap the anchors into the holes. Then insert screws, but DO NOT TIGHTEN. Leave the screw heads protruding about 14 inch.
- If there is a stud at this location, simply install the two screws into the stud. Remember to leave screw head protruding.
- Telephone is then mounted according to procedure detailed in mounting to modular plug.
Note: If you encounter difficulty fitting the telephone body onto the screws, or the telephone wobbles when installed, either tighten or loosen the screws to adjust.
Table
- Connect the line cord to LINE CORD jack on the rear of the telephone body.
- Plug free end of line cord into nearest modular telephone jack.
To Install Wall Anchors
If the location, you have chosen to mount your telephone is a hollow wall without any beams you will have to use the included wall anchors.
To install, place the template against the wall where you wish to place your telephone. Mark the wall at the location of the two + on the template by pushing a pen or pencil through the template. Drill a 1/4" hole at each mark.
With a Phillips screwdriver, begin tightening the screw by turning it clockwise.
Stop turning when you feel firm resistance.

Turn the screw counterclockwise until the screw head is about 1/4 out of the wall.
Install the line cord at back of the telephone. Adjust the switches to your preference. Position the line cord through the slot on the bottom of the cabinet. Line up the holes with the two screws. Place the telephone onto these two screws and gently pull down.
This may require a little fine tuning until the phone is seated securely.
Operation
Making and Answering Calls
To get a dial tone or answer an incoming call, lift the handset.
To hang up, either replace the handset or simply press down the Handset Cradle.
To Redial
The last number dialed is automatically stored in the phone. To redial the last number, lift the handset and press the REDIAL (coin release) button.
Coinbox
Coins can be deposited into the COIN SLOTS located on the top of the telephone body. The coins will ring a bell and drop into the coin box. The coinbox may be opened by inserting the key and rotating.
Troubleshooting
No Dial Tone
- Make sure that all plugs are connected properly. Check the connections at the wall jack, the telephone body and the handset.
- Try another modular jack within your home which you know to be working properly.
Calls cannot be dialed or dialed slowly
- Check to make sure that the DIAL MODE switch is in the correct position for the type of service available in your area.
Telephone does not ring
- Check the Ringer Control switch is not set to OFF.
- If there are several telephones connected to the same line, try disconnecting some of the other telephones. Having too many telephones connected to the same line can cause low ringer volume or poor sound quality during calls.
