INSTALLATION

INSTALLING THE

HANDSET’S

ANTENNA

Insert the antenna into the larger hole at the top of the handset, then screw in the antenna clockwise un- til it is secure.

SELECTING A LOCATION

You can place the phone on a desk or table, mount it on a standard wall plate, or mount it directly on a wall. Select a lo- cation that is:

near an easily accessible AC outlet

near a modular 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.

Caution: You must use a Class

!2 power source that supplies

12 volts DC and delivers at

least 300 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the base's DC 12V jack. The supplied adapt- er meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these speci- fications could damage the base or the adapter. You can connect your ET-689 to a 2-line modular telephone jack using one of the supplied 2-line modular cords. Or, you can connect your tele- phone to two separate 1-line modular telephone jacks using the supplied 2- line modular cords.

Notes:

Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If your phone line jack is not a modular jack, you can update the wiring yourself, using jacks and adapters available at your local RadioShack store. Or, you can let the phone company update the wiring for you.

The USOC number of the two-line jack to be installed is RJ14C (or RJ14W for a wall plate jack). The USOC number for a single-line jack is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate jack).
