INSTALLATION
SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone on a desktop or table, or mount it on a wall. Select 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 inter- coms, alarms, and room monitors
•away from other cordless phones
Placing the Base on a Desk Top
Follow these steps when you place the base on a desk, shelf, or table.
1.Plug one end of the supplied mod- ular cord into the TEL. LINE jack on the back of the base.
The base’s location affects the hand- set’s range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the best performance.
Notes:
•Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If your phone line jack is not a mod- ular jack, you can update the wir- ing yourself, using jacks and adapters available at your local Radio Shack store. Or, you can let the phone company update the wiring for you.
•The phone company will charge you for the installation of neces- sary jacks.
•The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (RJ11W if you want to mount it on a wall plate).
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 IN 9V jack on the back of the base.
