Combination Extensions You can connect a standard device (such as a standard phone or an answering machine) on an extension by itself, or so that it shares an extension with another piece of equipment (either another standard device or a system phone). An extension with two devices connected to it is called a combination extension. You cannot install two system phones on the same extension, and the combined REN (Ringer Equivalence Number) of two devices on one extension cannot exceed 2.0. (The R

Connecting Caller ID Display Units To get Caller ID information for an extension, you must first subscribe to the service (on a per-line basis) from your local telephone company, then connect the units as described here. You must connect the Caller ID display unit directly to the line that supports Caller ID at the network interface jack. Additionally, you must provide a separate wiring run for the unit to the appropriate location. To have additional wiring runs installed, call a qualified servi

Assembling System Phones You can either desk mount or wall mount a system phone. If the system phone is manufactured with a separate stand, you can use the stand to either wall mount the phone or raise the angle of the phone when desk mounting. (The stand is required for MLS-34D phones.) Alternatively, some system phones—such as the MLS-18D—are manufactured with a fixed stand. Any instructions below for installing the stand do not apply to this type of phone. (Wall mounting is not recommended fo

Wall Mounting If you wall mount a display phone, the display may be difficult to read, so desk mounting is recommended. (Wall mounting instructions apply to corded MLS-model phones only. To wall mount an MLC-6 cordless phone, follow the instructions in the booklet provided with the phone.) Wall Mounting Phones with Separate Stands Reverse the plastic hook that sits in the earpiece part 1 of the handset cradle.

Connecting Intercom Autodialers Since the autodialer has a fixed stand, you may need to adjust the height of the system phone—by installing a stand—to match the height of the autodialer. Refer to Step 2 of “Desk Mounting” under “Assembling System Phones” for instructions. You can wall mount an Intercom Autodialer to work next to a wall-mounted system phone; however, wall-mounting system display phones is not recommended. A) Unplug the phone’s modular telephone cord from 1 the jack on the bottom
