CHOOSING 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. 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, electri- cal appliances, metal walls or filing cabi- nets, 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 loca- tions, try each to see which provides the best performance.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
!source that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 350 mA.
Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the phone’s DC IN 9V jack. The supplied adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the phone or the adapter.
•Always connect the AC adapter to the phone before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you dis- connect it from the phone.
Your telephone connects directly to a modu- lar telephone line jack. If your telephone wir- ing 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 up- date the wiring for you. You must use com- patible 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).

6.Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical posi- tion.
On a Wall Plate
