INSTALLATION

MOUNTING THE PHONE

You can place the ET-1118’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.

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2

!power source that supplies

9 volts AC and delivers at least 500 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the ET-1118's DC IN 9V jack. The supplied adapter meets these speci- fications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the ET-1118 or the adapter.

Always connect the AC adapter to the ET-1118 before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, discon- nect the adapter from AC power be- fore you disconnect it from the ET- 1118.

Notes:

Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If your phone line jack is not a modu- lar jack, you can update the wiring yourself, using jacks and adapters available at your local RadioShack store. Or, you can let the phone company update the wiring for you.

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

2.Plug the modular cord’s other end into a modular telephone line jack.

3.Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug into the DC IN 9V jack on the back of the base.
