INSTALLATION
SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone’s base on a desktop, shelf, or table. Select a location that is:
•near an AC outlet
•near a telephone line jack
•out of the way of normal activities
•away from electrical machinery, elec- trical appliances, metal walls, filing cabinets, wireless intercoms, secu- rity 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.
Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If your tele- phone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update the wiring yourself or have the telephone company update it for you.
Caution: The supplied adapter is a Class 2 120V AC/12V DC adapter that delivers at least 200 milliamps with its center tip set to positive. Its plug correctly fits the phone’s DC 12V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these requirements could damage the phone or the adapter.
CONNECTING THE PHONE
After you select a location for the phone’s base, follow these steps to connect it to AC power and to the phone line.
