INSTALLATION

SELECTING A MOUNTING LOCATION

You can mount the base on a wall plate or directly on a wall. Or, you can place it on a desk, shelf, or table. Se- lect a location that is:

Near an AC outlet

Near a telephone line jack

Out of the way of normal activities

Away from computers, remote control toys, wireless micro- phones, wireless intercoms, alarms and room monitors, fluo- rescent lights, electrical machin- ery, electrical appliances, metal walls, filing cabinets, and other large metal objects

For the best reception, you should be able to fully extend the base’s antenna and place it in a vertical position.

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 performance.

If the phone line jack is not a modular jack, you must update the wiring your-

self, using jacks and adapters avail- able at your local Radio Shack store. Or, you can let the phone company up- date the wiring for you.

The phone company will charge you for the installation of the nec- essary jacks.

The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C for a base- board jack and RJ11W for a wall- plate jack.

Placing the Base on a

1.Plug one end of the supplied mod- ular cord into the PHONE 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 12V DC jack on the back of the base.
