Installation
• 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 hand-
set’s range. If you have a choice of sev-
eral locations, try each to see which
provides the best performance.
Caution: The supplied AC adapter was
designed specifically for your phone.
Use only the supplied adapter.
Connecting to Phone Lines
To take full advantage of the phone’s
capabilities, you must have two phone
lines with separate phone numbers. If
you have only one line, you can order a
second line from your phone company.
You can connect the phone to the lines
in one of these ways:
• connect two lines through a two-line
modular phone jack
• connect two lines through two one-
line modular phone jacks
• connect one line through a one-line
modular phone jack
Notes:
• Your phone connects directly to a
modular phone jack. If your phone
wiring does not have a modular
jack, you can update it using jacks
and adapters available at your local
RadioShack store. Or, you can have
the phone company update it for
you.
• The line that connects a two-line
phone jack to the phone company
wiring must be twisted-pair cable.
Otherwise, you might hear interfer-
ence (crosstalk) between the two
lines.
• The USOC number of the two-line
jack to be installed is RJ14C
(RJ14W for a wall plate). The USOC
number of a single-line jack is
RJ11C.
On a Desk Top
1. To connect the phone to a two-line
phone jack, plug one end of the sup-
plied long two-line modular cord into
TEL LINE 1/2
on the back of the
phone.
Note: If you connect the phone to a
two-line phone jack with a two-line
cord, do not connect another (third)
phone line to
TEL LINE 2
or the
phone will not operate properly.
Instead, you can connect another
phone device, such as a fax
machine or modem.
To connect the phone to two one-
line phone jacks, plug one end of
the supplied long two-line modular
cord into
TEL LINE 1/2
and plug
another cord (not supplied) into
TEL
LINE 2
