INSTALLATION

SELECTING A

LOCATION

You can set the TAD-1016’s base on a flat surface (such as a desk or counter top), or mount it on a wall plate or directly on the wall. The base’s location affects the phone’s range, so if you have a choice of sev- eral locations, try each to see which gives the best performance.

Select a location that is:

•Near an AC outlet

•Near a modular 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 RadioShack store. Or, you can let the phone company update the wir- ing for you. The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C.

Placing the Base on a

Desktop

1.Plug one end of the supplied mod- ular cord into the TEL LINE jack on the back of the base.

2.Plug the modular cord’s other end into a modular phone line jack.

3.Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug into the DC IN 9V jack on the back of the base.
