The base’s location affects the hand- set’s range. If you have a choice of sev- eral locations, try each to see which provides the best performance.

Caution: The supplied AC adapter was designed specifically for your phone. Use only the supplied adapter.

Connecting to Phone Lines

To take full advantage of the phone’s capabilities, you must have two phone lines with separate phone numbers. If you have only one line, you can order a second line from your phone company.

You can connect the phone to the lines in one of these ways:

•connect two lines through a two-line modular phone jack

•connect two lines through two one- line modular phone jacks

•connect one line through a one-line modular phone jack

Notes:

•Your phone connects directly to a modular phone jack. If your phone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update it using jacks and adapters available at your local RadioShack store. Or, you can have the phone company update it for you.

•The line that connects a two-line phone jack to the phone company wiring must be twisted-pair cable. Otherwise, you might hear interfer- ence (crosstalk) between the two lines.

•The USOC number of the two-line jack to be installed is RJ14C (RJ14W for a wall plate). The USOC number of a single-line jack is RJ11C.

On a Desk Top

1.To connect the phone to a two-line phone jack, plug one end of the sup- plied long two-line modular cord into TEL LINE 1/2 on the back of the phone.

TEL LINE 1/2

Note: If you connect the phone to a two-line phone jack with a two-line cord, do not connect another (third) phone line to TEL LINE 2 or the phone will not operate properly. Instead, you can connect another phone device, such as a fax machine or modem.

To connect the phone to two one- line phone jacks, plug one end of the supplied long two-line modular cord into TEL LINE 1/2 and plug another cord (not supplied) into TEL LINE 2.
