INSTALLATION

SELECTING A LOCATION

Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some important guide- lines you should consider:

The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous power outlet.

(Make sure that the AC outlet is switched on for continuous power supply).

Keep the Base Unit and Handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors or fluorescent lighting.

Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the Base Unit antenna.

The Base Unit can be placed on a desk or tabletop or wall mounted.

If you decide to mount your phone on the wall, make sure to change the Handset Retainer so the tab which holds the Handset faced up (see page 25 for more information).

You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before completing the installation or using the Handset.

TELEPHONE LINE OUTLETS

Most phone equipment available now use modular jacks. Phone cords are fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into this type of jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks, contact your local telephone company for information about their installation.

CONNECTING THE TELEPHONE CORDS

Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cords.

CAUTION:

Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected.

Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
