INSTALLATION
SELECTING A
LOCATION
You can set the ET-908’s base on a
flat surface (such as a desktop or
counter-top), mount it on a modular
jack wall plate, or mount it directly on
the wall. The base’s location affects
the phone’s range. If you have a
choice of several locations, try each to
see which one provides the best per-
formance.
Select a location that is:
• Near an AC outlet
• Near a telephone line jack
• Away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, and metal
walls or filing cabinets
• Away from wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
If the phone line jack is not a modular
jack, you must update the wiring. You
can convert the wiring yourself, using
jacks and adapters available at your lo-
cal Radio Shack store. Or, you can let
the phone company update the wiring
for you.
Notes:
• The phone company charges for
the installation of the necessary
jacks.
• The USOC number of the base-
board jack to be installed is
RJ11C.
• After you mount the phone, you
must install the battery pack and
charge it for 24 hours before you
use it the first time. See “Prepara-
tion” on Page 11.
