INSTALLATION
SELECTING A LOCATION
Select a location for the telephone that meets these requirements:
•Near an AC outlet
•Near a telephone line jack
•Out of the way of normal activities
•Away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, and metal walls or filing cabinets
•Away from wireless intercoms, alarms, and room monitors
The base’s location affects the phone’s range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each one to see which provides the best performance.
If the phone line jack is not a modular jack, you must update the wiring your- self, using jacks and adapters avail- able at your local Radio Shack store. Or, you can let the phone company up- date the wiring for you.
Notes:
•The phone company will charge you for the installation of the nec- essary jacks.
•The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C.
INSTALLING THE PHONE
Follow these steps to install the base on a desk, shelf, or table.
1.Plug one end of the supplied mod- ular cord into the phone jack on the back of the base.
2.Plug the modular cord’s other end into a modular phone line jack.
3.Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug into the DC 12V jack on the back of the base.
4.Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
For the best reception, fully extend the base’s antenna and place it in a verti- cal position.
Caution: You must use a 120V AC/ 12V DC adapter that delivers at least 200 milliamps. Its center tip must be positive, and its plug must correctly fit the phone’s DC 12V jack. The supplied adapter meets these requirements. Using an adapter that does not meet these requirements could damage the phone or the adapter.
