INSTALLATION
You can place the phone on a flat surface or
mount it on a wall plate or directly on a wall.
Select a location that is:
• near an accessible 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 intercoms, alarms, and room
monitors
• away from other cordless phones
The base’s location affects the handset’s
range. You can try several locations to see
which provides the best performance.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 9V and de-
livers at least 210 mA. Its cen-
ter tip must be set to positive and its plug
must fit the phone's
9V DC IN
jack. The
supplied adapter meets these specifica-
tions. Using an adapter that does not
meet these specifications could damage
the phone or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the
phone before you connect it to AC power.
When you finish, disconnect the adapter
from AC power before you disconnect it
from the phone.
Your telephone connects directly to a modular
telephone line jack. If your telephone wiring
does not have a modular jack, you can update
the wiring yourself using jacks and adapters
(available at your local RadioShack store), or
have the telephone company update the wiring
for you. You must use compatible modular jacks
that are compliant with Part 68 of
FCC Rules
.
Note: The USOC number of the jack to be in-
stalled is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate
jack).
On a Desk Top
Follow these steps to place the phone on a
desk, shelf, or table.
1. Plug one end of the supplied long modu-
lar cord into the
TEL LINE
jack on the
back of the base. Then plug the cord’s
other end into a modular phone line jack.
