MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the answering system’s base
on a desk or table, or mount it on a standard
wall plate or directly on a wall. Choose a lo-
cation that is:
• near an AC outlet
• near a modular telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery, electri-
cal appliances, metal walls or filing cabi-
nets, wireless intercoms, alarms, and
room monitors
• away from other cordless phones
The base’s location affects the phone’s
range. If you have a choice of several loca-
tions, try each to see which provides the best
performance.
Cautions:
You must use a power source
that supplies 9V DC and deliv-
ers at least 350 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 specifica-
tions. 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 dis-
connect it from the phone.
Notes:
• 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.
