INSTALLATION

SELECTING A

LOCATION

You can set the ET-910’s base on a flat surface (such as a desktop or counter-top), mount it on a modular jack wall plate, or mount it directly on the wall. The base’s location affects the phone’s range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to see which one provides the best performance.

Select a location that is:

Near an AC outlet

Near a telephone line jack

Away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, and metal walls or filing cabinets

Away from wireless intercoms, alarms, and room monitors

If the phone line jack is not a modular jack, you must update the wiring. You can convert the wiring yourself, using jacks and adapters available at your local Radio Shack store. Or, you can let the phone company update the wiring for you.

Notes:

The phone company charges for the installation of the necessary jacks.

The USOC number of the base- board jack to be installed is RJ11C.

After you mount the phone, you must install the battery pack and charge it for 24 hours before you use it the first time. See “Prepa- ration” on Page 12.
