Important! Your telephone system must be programmed for Auto Preference for your 7$/.
button to work. If there is a shared digital telephone, you receive internal system
dial tone automatically after picking up the handset of your deskset. For example,
in a DK424 system, Program 32 must have a setting other than “00.” It is best to
set Auto Line Preference to access Intercom dial tone.
Step 1: Select Location
1. Select a location for your cordless digital telephone. Avoid excessive heat or humidity.
2. Place the cordless digital telephone’s base unit on a desk or tabletop near a standard 120V
AC outlet and within reach of the digital telephone line connection to your Strata DK
system.
3. Keep the base unit and handset away from sources of electrical noise (motors, fluorescent
lighting, etc.).
Important! Place the cordless telephone to the right of the DKT. If placed on the left of the
DKT, the cordless antenna picks up a tone due to its close proximity to the DKT
speaker and electronic parts.
Step 2: Connect Telephone Cords
Your cordless digital telephone can be used as a stand-alone telephone or in conjunction with
your deskset.
There are two telephone line jacks on the back of the base unit of your cordless digital
telephone: “Line In” and “Line Out.” You can connect your cordless digital telephone to both
the telephone line and a Strata DK digital telephone.
