CID300 - Caller ID Speakerphone Quick Reference Guide


This guide tells you how to quickly install and operate your new Caller ID Telephone. For more detailed instructions, please refer to your Owner's Manual.

Important Notice
1. Before using the CID300, install 4 AA batteries into the base.
    NOTE: BATTERIES ARE REQUIRED FOR THE CALLER ID FUNCTIONS AND TELEPHONE
    OPERATIONS OF THE UNIT.
2. DO NOT CONNECT the line cord into the wall outlet until after the Caller ID setup is
    completed.

Installation

Line Cord Connection
With a modular telephone system, connect the straight telephone line cord to the modular jack located in the back of the unit. Insert the other end of the cord into a modular wall jack. Make sure all plugs snap firmly in place. If you have a four prong style jack, plug the line cord into a modular adapter and then into the jack. DO NOT CONNECT the line cord into the wall outlet until after the Caller ID setup is completed (See Setting up your CID300 to complete the Caller ID setup).


Wall Mount
If your Conairphone™ has a wall mount option, connect the straight telephone line cord to the modular jack located on the bottom of the base. Note: If a short line cord is provided use it, otherwise use the long line cord. Leaving approximately 5 inches of the cord free, insert the other modular plug into the wall jack, making sure it snaps in place. Position the wall mount slots on the bottom of the base over the two studs of the wall plate. Pull down and lock in place.

Battery Installation
Remove the battery door using a paper clip or a ball point pen. Insert four (4) AA alkaline batteries. Snap the battery door back into place.

Trouble Shooting Guide

Problem: No dial tone
• Check all modular plugs to be sure they are firmly in place.
• Are the cords damaged in any way?
• Try another phone jack. If your Conairphone™ works on another jack, there may be a problem
   with your wiring.

Problem: I hear my phone dialing, but I can not get past the dial tone.
• Check the Tone/Pulse switch. If positioned in Tone (T) mode, switch to Pulse (P). You may
   have pulse dialing service.

Problem: Phone does not ring.
• Is the ringer switch set to the "Off" position?
• How many extensions are connected to your line? If more than five telephones are installed
   on the same line, you may need to contact your local telephone company to determine the
   maximum number of extensions for your calling area.

Problem: The sound volume is too low.
• Is another extension off hook? If so, hang up the extension.
