Installation
• 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.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 9V DC
and delivers at least 350 mA.
Its center tip must be set to positive and
its plug must fit the phone's
DC IN 9V
jack. The supplied adapter meets these
specifications. 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 dis-
connect it from the phone.
Notes:
• Your telephone connects directly to a
modular telephone line jack. If your
phone line jack is not a modular jack,
you can update the wiring 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 for a wall
plate).
On a Desk Top
1. Plug one end of the supplied long modu-
lar cord into the
TEL
LINE
jack on the
back of the base.
2. Plug the modular cord’s other end into a
modular telephone line jack.
3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel
plug into the
DC IN 9V
jack on the back of
the base.
4. Route the adapter’s cord through the
strain relief slot on the bottom of the
base.
5. Plug the adapter into a standard AC out-
let.
6. Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical posi-
tion.
On a Wall Plate or Wall
1. Insert the two tabs at the top of the nar-
row 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 lower slots.
2. Plug one end of the supplied short mod-
ular cord into the
TEL LINE
jack on the
back of the base.
