SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone’s base on a desk or
table, or mount it on a standard 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. If you have a choice of several
locations, 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 210 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
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
installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate
jack).
On a Desk Top
Follow these steps to place the base on a
desk, shelf, or table.
1. Plug one end of the supplied long
modular cord into the
TEL
LINE
jack on
the back of the base.
2. Plug the modular cord’s other end into a
modular phone 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 base.
5. Plug the adapter into a standard AC
outlet.
6. Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical
position.
On a Wall Plate
1. Plug one end of the supplied short
modular cord into the
TEL LINE
jack on
the back of the base.
2. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel
plug into the
DC IN 9V
jack on the back of
the base.
