INSTALLATION
SELECTING A
LOCATION
You can place the phone’s base on a
desk top or table, or mount it on a wall.
Select a location that is:
• near an AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, metal walls
or filing cabinets, wireless inter-
coms, alarms, and room monitors
• away from other cordless phones
The base’s location affects the hand-
set’s range. If you have a choice of
several locations, try each to see
which provides the best performance.
Caution: The supplied RadioShack
AC adapter was designed specifically
for your ET-918/920. Use only the sup-
plied adapter.
Notes:
• Your telephone connects directly
to a modular telephone line jack. If
your phone line jack is not a mod-
ular jack, you can update the wir-
ing yourself, using jacks and
adapters available at your local
RadioShack store. Or, you can let
the phone company update the
wiring for you.
• The USOC number of the jack to
be installed is RJ11C (RJ11W if
you want to mount it on a wall
plate).
Placing the Base on a
Desk Top
Follow these steps when you place the
base on a desk, shelf, or table.
1. Plug one end of the supplied long
modular cord into the
TEL LINE
jack on the back of the base.
2. Plug the modular cord’s other end
into a modular phone line jack.
