INSTALLATION

Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. Choose a mounting location for the phone that is near a modular phone jack and away from normal activities.

If your telephone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update the wiring yourself. Radio Shack stores sell the necessary wall jacks and adapters to convert older wiring meth- ods to modular wiring. Or, you can have the telephone company update your telephone wiring for you.

Notes:

The telephone company charges to install the necessary jacks.

The USOC number of the jack to be installed if RJ11C for a base- board jack, or RJ11W for a wall jack.

MOUNTING THE PHONE

In addition to the supplied mounting hardware (anchors, plugs, screws, and rubber spacers), you need the follow- ing tools/supplies to mount your phone:

A large piece of paper (at least 8 × 18 in.)

Phillips screwdriver

Hammer

Electric drill with a 3/16-inch drill bit

Preparation

Follow these steps to prepare an easy- to-use template for marking the wall at the desired mounting location.

1.Lay the phone flat on a large piece of paper. Then, without moving the phone, trace the loca- tion of each of the four mounting holes onto the paper.
