    you should be able to get a user's manual from the manufacturer website


    I had some older ones like the ones in your pictures which worked as an analog telephone(no power required) but also had lots of functions such as saved numbers, speed dial, etc which only worked when the power supply was plugged it. Are you sure you've used the right plug? Some are two lines, some are only one line, with two plugs, for transiting the line through to a fax

    Users manuals don't provide much info on hooking them up. These only have two jacks. One for a handset and one for a line in. No power supplies came with them nor do they have a plug for a power cord. They are Samsung iDSC 28D and 8D.

    The ones at work will work without the power cord as well.
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    You will need an 25-Pair amphenol Cable.
    25 Pair Telephone Cable | eBay
    And a Harmonica [ or cable, punch down block going to a panel with phone plugs] to test them.
    12 Position RJ14 Harmonica W/ Female Amphenol | ShowMeCables.com

    Then you should be able to plug two phones in and intercom back and forth to test them.

    If anyone is local to me in Maine I can help test a lot of business phones. I have a lot of systems set up for testing. I also have a ring generator with internal CO line so I can make calls from one system to another to test CO ports in control units.
