Attach one end of the line cord to jack number 1 and other end of the line
cord to the wall jack.  To determine whether both lines are on the same
line cord, plug in the power adapter (see Connecting the power adapter

language.  Select your language choice.  If Lines 1 and 2 are on the same
line cord, the time and date is shown.  Check line cord appears on the
first line of the display and Line 2 -> appears on the second line of the

Note:  If you want Line 1 and Line 2 on the same line cord, contact your
       telephone company or Telecom manager.

Connecting the power adapter

Attach the power adapter to the base of the telephone, where the warning
symbol is marked.  Then connect the power adapter into the closest
electrical outlet.

Checking your telephone

When you first plug in your Meridian 9417, you may see a message asking
you to make a language selection.  Follow the directions on the display
to select one of the languages.

Your telephone also runs a test to ensure that the line cords are
connected properly.  If the test fails, the display identifies which line
is not connected.  Make sure that all connections are fastened securely.

Attach one end of the line cord to jack number 2 and the other end of the
line cord to the peripheral.  To connect a FAX peripheral, Line 1 and Line
2 must be on the same line cord.  For more information on the FAX
peripheral, see The Fax Switch section on Faxback Doc. # 46299.
