INSTALLATION
Before using your phone, carefully peel the protective film off the display. The film protects the handset window during shipment and is not necessary for use.
SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone’s base on a desk or table, or mount it on a standard wall plate or directly on a wall. Select a location that is:Ô
•near an accessible AC outlet
•near a 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
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. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details. Ô
The base’s location affects the handset’s range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the best performance.
Ô NOTES Ô
•If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.
•The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate jack).
