MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS

You need an RJ11 type modular jack, which is the most common type of phone jack and might look like the one pictured here. If you don’t have a modular jack, call your local phone company to find out how to get one installed.

POWERING THE CALLER ID TELEPHONE

This unit is designed to be powered by the AC adapter. When using AC power, a 9-volt battery acts as a backup, enabling continuous operation of full telephone and Caller ID features for up to 4 hours and 30 hours of only Caller ID signal reception in the event of power failure.

If you are planning to use both the AC adapter and battery, you should install the 9-volt battery before you begin the telephone installation procedure.
