SELECTING A LOCATION

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

near a telephone line jack

out of the way of normal activities

away from electrical machinery, electri- cal appliances, metal walls, filing cabi- nets, wireless intercoms, security alarms, and room monitors

Your telephone connects directly to a modu- lar telephone line jack. If your telephone wir- ing does not have a modular jack, you can update the wiring yourself using jacks and adapters (available at your local RadioShack store), or have the telephone company up- date the wiring for you. You must use com- patible modular jacks that are compliant with Part 68 of FCC Rules. The telephone cord and modular plug provided is Part 68 compli- ant for connecting to the telephone company network.

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