3.Plug the AC power adapter into an electrical outlet and the DC connector to

the back of the base unit. CAUTION:Use only the AC adapter shipped

with your VT 9112. This is a Class 2 AC adapter, specifically designed for use with the VT 9112

7.CHECK FOR A DIAL TONE. After the battery pack is charged, raise the Base Unit Antenna to an upright position. Then, pick up the Handset and press PHONE key. The IN USE LED (on the Base Unit) and the PHONE key (on the Handset) will light up, and you should hear a dial tone. If not, see

2.Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

3.Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

4.Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Step #2 below.

1.Choose a spot near an electrical outlet and a telephone jack.Your phone requires a modular telephone jack and

astandard electrical outlet (120V AC). The power cord is six feet long; make sure there is an electrical outlet within reach of the base. The outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. If the switch is ever turned off, the phone will not operate.

2.Position the wall mount adapter on the base. Line up the tabs on the wall mount adapter with the holes on the bottom of the base. Snap the wall mount adapter firmly in place.

3.Mount the base on the wall. Position the base so the mounting studs will fit into the holes on the bottom of the base. Position the power cord to extend down the wall the phone is to be mounted on. Slide the base down on the mounting studs until it locks into place.

4.Connect the telephone cord. The telephone line cord has a snap-in plug at each end. Insert one of the plugs into the jack on the bottom of the base. Insert the other end of the plug into the wall jack.
