PREPARATION
SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone on a desk top
or table, mount it on a standard wall
plate, or mount it directly on the wall. Se-
lect a location that is:
• near an AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, metal walls or
filing cabinets, wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
The base’s location affects the phone’s
range. If you have a choice of several lo-
cations, try each to see which provides
the best performance.
Caution: The supplied AC adapter was
designed specifically for your TAD-1029.
Use only the supplied adapter.
Notes:
• Your telephone connects directly to
a modular telephone line jack. If
your phone line jack is not a modu-
lar 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.
• The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C (RJ11W if you
want to mount it on a wall plate).
INSTALLING THE PHONE
Placing the Base on a
Desk Top
1. Remove the mounting bracket by
holding in both tabs and gently pull-
ing out the wide end of the bracket.
2. Plug one end of the supplied long
modular cord into the telephone jack
on the back of the base.
3. Plug the modular cord’s other end
into a modular phone line jack.
