INSTALLATION

CHOOSING A LOCATION

You can use your telephone as a desk phone, mount it on a standard wall plate, or mount it directly on a wall. Select a lo- cation that is near the telephone line jack(s) and an easily accessible AC out- let

To take full advantage of many of the ET-469’s features (like conference call- ing) you must have two telephone lines with separate phone numbers. If you have only one phone line, you can order a second line from your local phone company.

You can use a two-line jack (RJ14C or RJ14W for a wall plate) that contains both lines, or you can use a separate single-line jack (RJ11C) for each line.

Notes:

•The line that connects the phone jack to the telephone company wir- ing must be twisted-pair cable. Oth- erwise, you might experience interference (crosstalk) between the two phone lines.

•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 tele- phone company update the wiring for you.

MOUNTING THE PHONE

On a Desktop

1.Remove the mounting bracket by holding in the tab on the right side of the bracket and gently pulling the bracket away from the base.

2.If you have a single two-line phone jack, plug one end of the supplied two-line long modular cord into L1 or L1/L2 on the back of the phone’s base.

L1/L2

Note: If you connect the phone to a two-line phone jack with a two-line cord, do not connect another modu- lar cord to the L2 jack. Otherwise, the phone will not operate properly.
