INSTALLATION

MOUNTING THE PHONE

You can place the TAD-797’s base on a desk or table, mount it on a standard wall plate, or mount it directly on a wall. Choose a location that is:

•near an AC outlet

•near a modular telephone line jack

•out of the way of normal activities

•away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal walls or filing cabinets, wireless intercoms, alarms, and room monitors

•away from other cordless phones

The base’s location affects the phone’s range. If you have a choice of several lo- cations, try each to see which provides the best performance.

Caution: You must use a Class 2

!power source that supplies 9 volts DC and delivers at least 500 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the TAD-797's DC IN 9V jack. The supplied AC adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the TAD-797 or the adapter.

•The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (RJ11W for a wall plate).
