INSTALLATION
SELECTING A
LOCATION
Select a dry location for the tele- phone’s base that is:
•Near an AC outlet
•Near a telephone line jack
•Out of the way of normal activities
•Away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, and metal walls or filing cabinets
•Away from wireless intercoms, alarms, and room monitors
The base’s location affects the phone’s range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to see which pro- vides the best performance.
Note: If the phone line jack is not a modular jack, you must update the wiring yourself, using jacks and adapt- ers available at your local RadioShack store. Or, you can let the phone com- pany update 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 or RJ11W for a wall jack.
Caution: You must use a Class 2 120V AC/12V DC adapter that deliv- ers at least 200 milliamps with its cen- ter tip set to positive. Its plug must
correctly fit the phone’s 12V DC jack. The supplied adapter meets these re- quirements. Using an adapter that does not meet these requirements could damage the phone or the adapt- er.
