Base Station The phone may be connected to two line (RJ14C) wall jacks to accommodate all two lines. 1. Choose an area near an electrical outlet and a telephone wall jack (RJ11C), and place your cordless telephone on a level surface, such as a desktop or tabletop, or you may mount it on the wall. 2. Install 5 AAA-size alkaline batteries (not included) for back up power in the event of a power failure. • Insert a flat-head screw driver or similar object into the battery door latch and gently pry upward to release the battery door from the base. • Insert the batteries inside the battery compartment as shown on the diagram. • Snap the battery compartment door back into place. NOTE: If the low battery icon appears in the display, you need to replace the batteries. It is important that you replace them as soon as possible to maintain unit operation when electrical power is off. As a precaution, you may want to write down any stored information you do not want erased. IMPORTANT: If you are not going to use the telephone for more than 30 days, remove the batteries because they can leak and damage the unit. 3. Plug the power supply cord into the power jack on the back of the base and the other end into an electrical outlet. CAUTION: To reduce risk of personal injury, fire, or damage use only the T-2757 (base) power adaptor listed in the user's guide. This power adaptor is intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or floor mount position. 4. Connect the telephone line cords: If you have 2 single-line wall jacks installed in your home or office, you can use adaptors/couplers (not included) to combine the 2 single telephone lines into 1 dual lines. The adaptor/coupler may look similar to the one pictured here and can be purchased from your local telephone products retailer. Line 2 Line 1 12
