INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE
HANDSET’S
ANTENNA
Insert the antenna into the hole on the top of the hand- set, then twist the antenna clockwise until it is secure.
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).
Caution: You must use an AC adapter that supplies 9 volts with the center tip set to positive. It must deliver 500 milli- amps, and its plug must properly fit the telephone’s DC 9V jack. The supplied AC adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the telephone or the adapter.
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.
