CHOOSING A LOCATION

The corded phone and cordless handset (with charging cradle) require only one phone jack for both phones. You can place the cordless handset and the charging cradle anywhere in your house, such as the kitchen, workshop or garage, without using a separate phone jack.

INSTALLING THE CORDED PHONE

You can place the corded phone on a desk or table, or mount it on a standard wall plate or directly on a wall. Use the supplied 12V, 300-mA AC/DC adapter to power the corded phone.

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 corded phone’s location affects the phone’s range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the best performance.

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2 power source that

!supplies 12V DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive

and its plug must fit the corded phone's 300mA 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 disconnect it from the phone.

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).

1.Insert the tabs on the top of the desktop stand into the slots on the phone’s base, then snap the stand’s bottom tabs into place.

4.Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug into the DC 12V 300mA jack on the back of the corded phone.

5.Route the adapter’s cord through the strain relief slot.

6.Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
