Selecting the Installation Location
Select a location for the phone that avoids excessive heat or humidity. The base unit can be placed on a desk
or tabletop near a standard 120V AC outlet and telephone line jack. The base unit can also be mounted on a
standard AT&T or GTE wall plate using the Wall Mount Adaptor. If the phone is to be paired with a keyset,
place both phones in the same area. Keep the base unit and handset away from sources of electrical noise
(motors,
fl
uorescent lighting, computers). Each Cordless Telephone unit should be at least 5 feet away from
any other Cordless Telephone or Aspire keyset to avoid interference.
With multiple cordless phones installed, each handset should have its channel button changed to a different
channel if possible (10 channels are available on the Cordless II, 30 channels on the Cordless Lite II). This
will help avoid any problems with interference between handsets when going off hook.
Connecting the Telephone Line
There are two types of phone outlets:
1) Modular Jack
Plug the telephone line cord from the base unit into a standard modular telephone jack.
2) Hardwired Jack
A modular jack converter (not included) is required. You may need to rewire when connecting the converter
(making color-coded connections).
