Corded Telephones Quick Reference Guide


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

Important Notice
Your Conairphone™ will operate on all systems, true tone or rotary.
1. If your home is wired for Rotary service, move the Tone/Pulse switch to Pulse position (P).
2. If your home is wired for Tone service, move the switch to the Tone position (T).
3. If you are unsure of the type of service you have, position Tone/Pulse switch to Tone (T).
    If dialing cannot be done, set to Pulse (P).

Installation

Coil Cord Connection
Insert coil cord into modular jack located on the side or bottom of the base. Connect the other end into the modular jack located on the handset.

Line Cord Connection
With a modular telephone system, connect the straight telephone line cord to the modular jack located on the bottom of the base. 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 jack, plug the line cord into a modular adapter and then into the jack.

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. Some phones will be equipped with tabs on the base bottom for winding the excess 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.

Operation

Receiving a Call
When your phone rings, pick up the handset and use like any basic telephone. Hang up the handset to release the telephone line when conversation is completed.

Dialing a Call
NOTE: Before dialing, make sure the Tone/Pulse switch is correctly positioned for your type of service.
Pick up phone, listen for a dial tone, then press the keys for the number you want. Your Conairphone(tm) (in pulse setting) uses electronic pulses to simulate dialing. You might hear pulsing for a second or two after the last button has been pressed.

Key Features

Last Number Redial
Your Conairphone™ remembers the last number dialed. If the number you dial is busy or not being answered, hang up. To automatically redial the last number, press the REDIAL button. NOTE: You can redial the same number as many times as needed. However, once you dial another number, the previous number is erased.

Lighted Dial
Your Conairphone™ features a lighted keypad for dialing in a darkened room.

Ringer On/Off or Off/Low/High
Your Conairphone™ features a harmonic tone ringer. When you don't want to be disturbed, slide the switch to the "Off" position. You can still make outgoing calls without being disturbed by incoming calls. Some phones have a ringer that can be adjusted to a soft (low) or a loud (high) sound level.

Mute
To talk to someone on your end of the phone without the caller hearing your conversation, press and hold the MUTE button. Release the MUTE button to return to your telephone conversation.

Receiver Volume Control
This feature allows you to adjust your handset volume from normal to high, for a more comfortable listening level.

Timed Flash Function
The FLASH button can be used to retrieve a new dial tone after ending a call.

NOTE: The FLASH button is also used with special telephone services such as call waiting and three party calling. Press the FLASH button briefly, release and perform the custom call procedure.


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.
