INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
▼Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:
●The location should be close to both a phone jack and a power outlet.
● Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors and fluorescent lighting.
●You should charge the battery in your handset for 14 hours before connecting the phone line.
●Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords are fitted with a plastic connector which plugs into this type of jack. If you do not have a modular phone jack, contact your local telephone company for information about their installation.
During a power failure, this telephone will not operate. Please ensure that a separate phone, not dependent on local power, is available for emergencies.
More Than One Phone
Each telephone device that you connect draws power from the phone line. We refer to the power drawn as the device’s Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). The REN is shown at the bottom part of your telephone. If you are using more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than 3, your phones might not ring.
