Step 1: Make sure you have a 115 VAC wall outlet and tele-  
phone jack within 6 feet of the place youve chosen  
to install the telephone. If you have an older 4-prong  
jack, youll need a modular jack adapter.These  
adapters are available from electronic, phone, and  
other retail stores.  
Step 2: Place the Pulse/Tone Switch, located on the side of  
the phone, in either Tone or Pulse (Rotary Dial Pulse).  
Make sure you choose the correct dialing mode.  
Tone dialing will not work if you have only dial  
pulse (rotary) service.

ed at the top end of the telephone. Plug the Power  
Pack into an unswitched AC outlet within 6 feet of  
the telephone. (see fig. 5)  
fig. 5: Power Connection  
Step 6: Perform either Table/Desk installation or Wall installa-  
tion as outlined on the following pages.  
For Ta b le / De sk Insta lla tions  
Step 1: Plug the long line cord into the jack on the back of  
the telephone base. (see fig. 6)  
Step 2: Plug the other end of the line cord into a modular  
baseboard jack. Make sure both ends snap into place  
firmly. (see fig. 6)  
fig. 6: Line Cord Connection  
Step 3: Lift the handset and check for dial tone. If you dont  
hear a dial tone, see In Case Of Difficulty, page 12.  
Note: To disconnect, squeeze the clip on the plug and pull  
it out from the jack. Remove the Power Pack plug

For Wa ll Pla te Insta lla tions  
If you prefer, the TeleTalker can also be mounted on a studded  
wall phone plate. If you dont have a phone plate installed,  
talk to your phone company or local phone products store.  
Step 1: Clip the plastic wall mounting bracket (included) into  
bottom of the TeleTalker base unit. (see fig. 7) Make  
sure the tabs snap in securely. This will make the  
base unit level with the wall.  
Step 2: Reverse the handset hanger found in the handset cra-  
dle to prevent the handset from falling.  
Step 3: Plug the short line cord into the jack on the top of  
the telephone and thread the line through the chan-  
nel to the cavity on the back of the base unit.  
Step 4: Hold the telephone next to the wall-phone jack and  
plug the line cord into the jack, leaving any slack in  
the base unit cavity. Then push the phone against the  
mounting studs so the studs are hooked into the  
upper and lower keyhole slots of the phone. Slide  
the phone down until it snaps into place. (see fig. 7)  
Step 5: Check for a dial tone. If you can’t hear a dial tone,  
see In Case Of Difficulty, page 12.  
Note: To remove a wall-mounted telephone, slide the phone  
up and pull it slightly away from the wall.  
Disconnect the line cord by squeezing the clip on the  
modular plug and pulling it from the jack.

Ba re Wa ll Insta lla tion  
Even if you dont have a studded wall phone plate, you can  
still mount the TeleTalker on any wall surface within six feet  
of a standard modular jack and AC outlet. To mount the  
phone farther from the jack youll need a longer line cord or  
a telephone extension cord. In either case, place the AC  
power pack in a location which will not be subject to distur-  
bance.  
Step 1: Measure and mark the wall for mounting screws.  
Mark two points 3-14⁄ inches apart for upper and lower  
mounting screws. The lower mark should be 48–52  
inches from the floor. Use a level to make sure the  
marks are aligned vertically.  
Step 2: Install the mounting screws (not included).  
Use wood screws for stud mounting, anchor screws  
for hollow wall mounting. Drive the screws almost  
completely in, leaving a 1  
⁄ inch space between the  
8
wall surface and the bottom of the screw head (about  
the thickness of two stacked pennies).  
Step 3: Reverse the handset hanger to prevent the handset  
from falling.  
Step 4: Mount the TeleTalker.  
Hang the telephone on the mounting screws and  
push down gently until it snaps into place  
Step 5: Connect the line cord to the jack on the top of the  
phone. Plug the other end of the line cord into a  
modular wall jack.  
Make sure it snaps firmly into place.  
Step 6: Connect the AC power pack to a wall AC outlet.  
Step 7: Check for the dial tone.  
If you can’t hear a dial tone, see In Case Of Difficulty,  
page 12.  
Note: To disconnect the telephone, squeeze the clip on the  
modular plug and pull it out of the jack.

When you use the Amplify feature, the TeleTalker operates in  
half-duplex mode. This means that while you speak, the hand-  
set receiver shuts off. If it did not, the extremely loud vol-  
umes produced by the TeleTalker would cause feedback.  
When using the TeleTalker in Amplify mode, do not speak  
when the other party is speaking.

There are a number of potential causes to this problem:  
1. Cords on handset or phone are not plugged into jacks.  
Make sure connectors are plugged in securely.  
2. The cord could be damaged. If so, replace the cord.  
3. The wall jack could be improperly wired. Check the wall

Neckloop/ Aux jack on the side of the TeleTalker and that  
your hearing aid is set in the “T” position.  
3. Try using the neckloop with another device (such as a

FCC Re g istra tion Notic e  
Your new TeleTalker product has been registered with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This prod-  
uct complies with standards in Part 68 of the FCC Rules. The FCC requires us to provide you with the following  
information:  
1. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network  
The FCC requires that you connect your product to the nationwide telephone network through a modular  
telephone outlet or jack. The modular telephone outlet or jack to which the telephone must be connected  
is a USOC RJ-11C or RJ-11W.

B. The telephone equipments FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). These  
numbers are on the back or bottom of your telephone equipment.  
The REN is useful to determine how many devices you may connect to your telephone line and still  
have them ring when your telephone line is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all REN’s  
should be 5 or less. You may want to contact your local telephone company if you experience prob-  
lems.  
3. Repair instructions

Warranty.  
4. Rights of the telephone company

continue your telephone service. If possible, they will notify you before they interrupt service. If advance  
notice isnt practical, youll be notified as soon as possible. Youll be given the opportunity to correct the  
problem, and youll be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

could effect the proper functioning of your TeleTalker product. If such changes are planned, youll be  
notified.  
5. This telephone is compatible with inductively coupled (Telecoil) hearing aids.  
Inte rfe re nc e Inform a tion: Pa rt 15 Of FCC Rule s  
Some telephone equipment generates and uses radio-frequency energy and, if not installed properly, may cause  
interference to radio and television reception.  
Your TeleTalker product has been tested and found to meet the standards for a Class B computing device, as speci-  
fied in Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection  
against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not  
occur in a particular installation.  
If your TeleTalker product causes interference to radio or television reception when its in use, you might correct  
the interference with any one of these measures.  
1.  
2.  
Where it can be done safely, re-orient the receiving telephone or radio antenna.  
To the extent possible, relocate the television, radio or other receiver with respect to the telephone equip-  
ment.
