Install the telephone base as shown below.
Make sure that the electrical outlet is not controlled by a wall switch.
If you subscribe to digital subscriber line (DSL) high-speed Internet

service through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between

the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents

noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Contact your

DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.

CAUTION:

If you subscribe to telephone service from a cable company or a VoIP service

provider, contact your cable/VoIP service provider for more information.
