INSTALLATION
SELECTING A LOCATION
Select a location for the telephone that
meets these requirements:
• Near an AC outlet
• Near a telephone line jack
• Out of the way of normal activities
• Away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, and metal
walls or filing cabinets
• Away from wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
The base’s location affects the phone’s
range. If you have a choice of several
locations, try each one to see which
provides the best performance.
If the phone line jack is not a modular
jack, you must update the wiring your-
self, using jacks and adapters avail-
able at your local RadioShack store.
Or, you can let the phone company up-
date the wiring for you.
Notes:
• The phone company will charge
you for the installation of the nec-
essary jacks.
• The USOC number of the jack to
be installed is RJ11C.
INSTALLING THE PHONE
Follow these steps to install the base
on a desk, shelf, or table.
1. Plug one end of the supplied mod-
ular cord into the phone 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 12V
jack on
the back of the base.
4. Plug the adapter into a standard
AC outlet.
For the best reception, fully extend the
base’s antenna and place it in a verti-
cal position.
Caution: You must use a 120V AC/
12V DC adapter that delivers at least
200 milliamps. Its center tip must be
positive, and its plug must correctly fit
the phone’s
DC 12V jack
. The supplied
adapter meets these requirements.
Using an adapter that does not meet
these requirements could damage the
phone or the adapter.
