Setting Up Your Phone

It only takes a few steps to set up your phone. Now that you’ve checked the con-

tents of the carton, you are ready to put the phone together.

1. CHOOSE A CENTRAL LOCATION FOR THE BASE UNIT

The base should be away from all other electronic equipment such as a personal

computer, microwave, stereo, or television. It is also a good idea to place the unit

away from noisy areas, or from heat sources such as a radiator or direct sunlight.

2. PLUG IN THE ADAPTER

1. Plug the adapter tip into the round jack on the

base and the other end into an electrical outlet.

Without AC power, your phone cannot operate.

2. Thread the cord through the clip on the housing to

prevent the cord from becoming loose.

3. INSTALL THE LINE CORD

You can set your CL980 telephone on a tabletop or you can mount the phone on a

wall.

To use on a tabletop or desk:

1. Take the long telephone line cord that comes with the phone and plug one

end into the jack labeled TEL LINE.

2. Take the remaining end and plug it into the wall jack.

To mount on a wall:

1. Remove the mounting

wedge from the bottom of

the base. Place your thumb

at the top of the arrow and

press down in the direction

of the arrow.

2. Turn the wedge around and

place it over the lower

portion of the base. Reinstall

the wedge by placing your thumb over the arrow and by pressing

downwards and backwards until it snaps into place.

3. Plug the five inch line cord into the phone jack marked TEL LINE.

4. Thread the line cord through the open channel in the base.
