MOUNTING THE SYSTEM
You can place the answering system’s base
on a desk or table, or mount it on a standard
wall plate or directly on a wall. Choose a lo-
cation that is:
• near an AC outlet
• near a modular telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery, electri-
cal appliances, metal walls or filing cabi-
nets, wireless intercoms, alarms, and
room monitors
• away from other cordless phones
The base’s location affects the phone’s
range. If you have a choice of several loca-
tions, try each to see which provides the best
performance.
Note: The handset window has plastic film
on it to protect it during shipment. Carefully
peel off the film before using your phone.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 9V DC
and delivers at least 400 mA.
Its center tip must be set to positive and
its plug must fit the system’s
DC IN 9V
jack. The supplied adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications could
damage the system or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the
system before you connect it to AC
power. When you finish, disconnect the
adapter from AC power before you dis-
connect it from the system.
Your system connects directly to a modular
telephone line jack. If your telephone wiring
does not have a modular jack, you can up-
date the wiring yourself using jacks and
adapters (available at your local RadioShack
store), or have the telephone company up-
date the wiring for you. You must use com-
patible modular jacks that are compliant with
Part 68 of FCC Rules.
Note: The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate
jack).
On a Desk
Follow these steps when you place the base
on a desk or table.
1. Insert the
bracket’s tabs
into the base’s
upper set of
tab slots. Press
the bracket’s
clips, lower
them into the
clip slots, then
release the clips.
2. Plug one end of the supplied long modu-
lar cord into the
TEL
LINE
jack on the
back of the base.
3. Plug the modular cord’s other end into a
modular phone line jack.
4. Route the modular cord through the
strain relief hook on the bracket.
5. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel
plug into the
DC IN 9V
jack on the back of
the base.
