INSTALLATION

SELECTING A
LOCATION

You can place the phone’s base on a
desk top or table, or mount it on a wall.
Select a location that is:

• near an AC outlet

• near a telephone line jack

• out of the way of normal activities

• away from electrical machinery,

electrical appliances, metal walls
or filing cabinets, wireless inter-
coms, alarms, and room monitors

• away from other cordless phones

The base’s location affects the hand-
set’s range. If you have a choice of
several locations, try each to see
which provides the best performance.

Caution: The supplied RadioShack
AC adapter was designed specifically
for your ET-918/920. Use only the sup-
plied adapter.

Notes:

• Your telephone connects directly

to a modular telephone line jack. If
your phone line jack is not a mod-
ular jack, you can update the wir-
ing yourself, using jacks and
adapters available at your local
RadioShack store. Or, you can let
the phone company update the
wiring for you.

• The USOC number of the jack to

be installed is RJ11C (RJ11W if
you want to mount it on a wall
plate).

Placing the Base on a
Desk Top

Follow these steps when you place the
base on a desk, shelf, or table.

1. Plug one end of the supplied long

modular 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.
