SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone’s base on a desk or table, or mount it on a standard wall plate or directly on a wall. Select a location that is:
•near an accessible 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
•away from other cordless phones
The base’s location affects the handset’s range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the best performance.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
!source that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 210 mA.
Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the phone's
jack. The supplied adapter meets these specifications. 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 disconnect it from the phone.
Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If your telephone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update the wiring yourself
using jacks and adapters (available at your local RadioShack store), or have the telephone company update the wiring for you. You must use compatible modular jacks that are compliant with Part 68 of FCC Rules.
Note: The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate jack).

1.Plug one end of the supplied long modular cord into the TEL LINE 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 IN 9V jack on the back of the base.
4.Route the adapter’s cord through the strain relief slot on the base.
5.Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
6.Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical position.
