UNPACKING YOUR TELEPHONE

Check the contents of the carton. Make sure you have a telephone, a baseplate, a 8-foot handset cord, a long modular line cord, and a short modular line cord.

If anything is missing or damaged, contact the place of purchase.

MODULAR JACKS

To install your telephone, you must have a modular wall jack at the desired location, or a 4-prong jack that can be modified with a 4-prong adapter. If your telephone line does not have a modular wall jack, or a jack that can be modified, you must have one

installed.

DANGER: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and personal injury, observe the followingwhen installing station wiring:

1.Never install telephone wiring during a light- ning storm.

2.Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

3.Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

4.Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
