SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone on a desk top or table, mount it on a stan-
dard wall plate, or mount it directly on the wall. Select a location
that is:
²
near an AC outlet not controlled by a wall switch
²
near a telephone line jack
²
out of the way of normal activities
²
away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal
walls or filing cabinets, wireless intercoms, alarms, and room mon-
itors
The base’s location affects the phone’s range. If you have a choice
of several locations, try each to see which provides the best perfor-
mance.
Caution: You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 12
volts DC and delivers at least 200 mA. Its center tip must be set to
positive and its plug must fit the SP-514's
POWER
jack. The sup-
plied adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications could damage the SP-514 or
the adapter.
Notes:
²
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.
²
The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (RJ11W
for a wall plate).
