Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your Clarity C200 phone:

1. Connect to Phone Line: Plug one end of the coiled phone cord into the jack on the back or side of the phone unit. Plug the other end into a standard telephone wall jack. Ensure a secure connection.
2. Desk Placement: For desk use, simply place the phone on a flat, stable surface.
3. Wall Mounting (Optional):
   • A modular wall jack with raised mounting pins is required (not supplied).
   • Locate the small plastic piece on the phone base that holds the handset. Use a small blade or screwdriver to gently push up this piece, reverse its orientation, and slide it back into place. This will expose the tabs necessary to hold the handset in a vertical, wall-mounted position.
   • Align the mounting holes on the back of the phone with the pins on your wall jack and slide the phone down to secure it.
