INSTALLATION

MOUNTING THE PHONE

You can place the ET-1119’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 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 hand- set’s range. If you have a choice of sev- eral locations, 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

500 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the ET- 1119's DC IN 9V jack. The supplied adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the ET-1119 or the adapter.

•Always connect the AC adapter to the ET-1119 before you connect it to AC power. If you should ever need to disconnect the power, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the ET-1119.

•The supplied RadioShack adapter was designed specifically for your ET-1119. Use only the supplied adapter.

Notes:

•Your telephone connects directly to a modular phone line jack. If your phone line jack is not a modular jack, you can update the wiring yourself, using jacks and adapters

available from your local RadioShack store. Or, you can let the telephone company update the wiring for you.

•The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C, or RJ11W for a wall plate jack.

On a Desk
