Connections & Setup
Telephone Jack Requirements
To use this phone, you need an RJ11C type modular phone telephone jack,
which might look like the one pictured here, installed in your home. If you
don’t have a modular jack, call your local phone company to find out how to
get one installed.
Installation
INSTALLATION NOTE:
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause or
receive interference with nearby TVs, microwave ovens, and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such
interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV,
microwave ovens, or VCR. If such interference continues, move the cordless telephone farther
away from these appliances. Certain other communications devices may also use the 2.4 GHz
frequency for communication, and, if not properly set, these devices may interfere with each
other and/or your new telephone. Typical devices that may use the 2.4 GHz frequency for
communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless computer networks, multi-
handset cordless telephone systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for
wet locations.
• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
• Temporarily disconnect any equipment connected to the phone such as faxes, other phones,
or modems.
Installation Guidelines
• Install telephone near both a telephone (modular) jack and an electrical power outlet.
• Avoid sources of noise, such as a window by a busy street, and electrical noise, such as motors,
microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
• Avoid heat sources, such as heating air ducts, heating appliances, radiators, and direct sunlight.
• Avoid areas of excessive moisture or extremely low temperature.
• Avoid dusty locations.
• Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.
