PREPARATION
Selecting a Location
Select a location for your telephone that is:
• Near a telephone jack
•Not in the way of normal activities in the area
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 wir- ing 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 in- stalled is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate jack).
Mounting the Phone
You can mount your telephone on a wall plate, directly on a wall, or place it on a shelf, desk or table.

2.Plug one end of the supplied long modu- lar cord into the LINE jack at the back of the base.
3.Plug the cord’s other end into a modular phone line jack.
