How do I set up the Marathon with an Office Phone (Not a partner Phone)?

How to Set Up a Marathon with an Office Phone! - (Marathon Discontinued)

AT&T Marathon setup instructions for corded office phone

Step 1) Remove the cover from the back of the Marathon Base

Step 2) Find the POWER CABLE for Marathon and plug it into the back of the base where it says POWER (green dot jack)

Step 3) Put the CURLY CORD - which is attached to the telephone handset - into the base where it says CURLY CORD JACK (light blue dot jack)

Step 4) Plug the headset’s BASE JACK CORD (ORANGE-ended connector cord) into the base where it says BASE JACK (orange dot jack) and plug the other end into one side of the HANDSET JACK of the telephone

Step 5) MAKE SURE LIFTER MODE LIGHT IS ON. Whether or not you are using a lifter! You change the lifter mode/no lifter mode by pressing the MODE button on the charging base (next to the Mic Volume buttons)

Step 6) Set Lifter Audio Adjust on the base to D

The Tel Wal Jack (red dot jack) will be empty (you do not need this cord and can set it aside!)

You should have not a Dial Pad! This setup will not work with one!

Notes:

  • The Marathon does not like to always work in the Headset Jack of telephones. However, to set it up in a headset jack, Simply leave the curly cord plugged into the phone and follow the instructions above plugging the Base Jack cord into the HEADSET JACK of the telephone. Remember to instruct the Customer to use the Headset Button on the telephone to answer calls. For Cisco telephones in the headset jack, set Lifter Audio Adjust to A!
  • The Marathon has to charge for at least 6 Hours before 1st use! Charging it overnight is even better!
