INSTALLATION
Selecting a Location
You can place the phone on a desktop, shelf, or table. Select a location that is:
•near an easily accessible AC outlet
•near a telephone line jack
•out of the way of normal activities
•away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal walls, filing cabinets, wireless intercoms, security alarms, and room monitors
The base’s location affects the phone’s range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the best performance.
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 wiring 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 installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate jack).
Using AC Power
Power the headset telephone using the supplied 12V, 200mA AC/DC adapter.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
!power source that sup- plies 12V DC and deliv-
ers at least 200mA. Its plug must fit the telephone's
jack. The supplied adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the telephone or the adapter.
•Always connect the AC adapter to the telephone before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the telephone.
Follow these steps to connect the adapter to the telephone.
1.Plug the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug into the DC 12V 200mA jack on the back of the base.
2.Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
Connecting the Phone
Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the TEL.LINE jack on the back of the base.
