INSTALLATION
CHOOSING A LOCATION
You can use your telephone as a desk
phone, mount it on a standard wall plate,
or mount it directly on a wall. Select a lo-
cation that is near the telephone line
jack(s) and an easily accessible AC out-
let
To take full advantage of many of the
ET-469’s features (like conference call-
ing) you must have two telephone lines
with separate phone numbers. If you
have only one phone line, you can order
a second line from your local phone
company.
You can use a two-line jack (RJ14C or
RJ14W for a wall plate) that contains
both lines, or you can use a separate
single-line jack (RJ11C) for each line.
Notes:
• The line that connects the phone
jack to the telephone company wir-
ing must be twisted-pair cable. Oth-
erwise, you might experience
interference (crosstalk) between the
two phone lines.
• 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 tele-
phone company update the wiring
for you.
MOUNTING THE PHONE
On a Desktop
1. Remove the mounting bracket by
holding in the tab on the right side of
the bracket and gently pulling the
bracket away from the base.
2. If you have a single two-line phone
jack, plug one end of the supplied
two-line long modular cord into
L1 or
L1/L2
on the back of the phone’s
base.
Note: If you connect the phone to a
two-line phone jack with a two-line
cord, do not connect another modu-
lar cord to the
L2
jack. Otherwise,
the phone will not operate properly.
