illus

 

hole on the top of the hand-

 

set, then twist the antenna

SELECTING A LOCATION

You can place the phone on a desk top, or mount it on a wall plate or directly on a wall. Select a location that is:

near an AC outlet

near a telephone line jack

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 phone’s range. If you have a choice of several lo- cations, 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 modu- lar 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 jack to be installed is RJ11C (RJ11W if you want to mount it on a wall plate).

Power the ET-927 using the supplied 9V, 500-mA AC adapter.

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2

!power source that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least

500 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the ET- 927's DC 9V jack. The supplied adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the phone or the adapter.

Always connect the AC adapter to the ET-927 before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, discon- nect the adapter from AC power be- fore you disconnect it from the phone.

Placing on a Desk Top

1.Push in the two tabs on the top of the mounting bracket, then lift off just the upper part of the bracket.
