MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the phone’s base on a desk
top or table, or mount it on a wall. Select a lo-
cation that is:
• near an accessible AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• 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 handset’s
range. If you have a choice of several loca-
tions, try each to see which provides the best
performance.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 9V DC
and delivers at least 210 mA.
Its center tip must be set to positive and
its plug must fit the telephone's DC IN
9V jack. The supplied adapter meets
these specifications. Using an adapter
that does not meet these specifications
could damage the telephone or the
adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the
telephone before you connect it to AC
power. When you finish, disconnect the
adapter from AC power before you dis-
connect it from the telephone.
• The supplied AC adapter was designed
specifically for your phone. Use only the
supplied adapter.

supplied long mod-
ular cord into the

AC adapter’s bar-
rel plug into the

cord through the
strain relief slot on
the base.
5. Plug the adapter
into a standard AC outlet.
6. Lift the base’s antenna to an upright
position.
On a Wall Plate or Wall
1. Insert the two tabs at the
top of the narrow end of
the supplied bracket into
the base’s upper tab
slots, then press down
on the bracket’s latches
and insert them into the

ular cord into the
