PREPARATION
SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone’s base on a flat
surface such as desk, shelf, or table. Se-
lect a location that is:
• near an easily accessible AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery, elec-
trical appliances, metal walls, filing
cabinets, wireless intercoms, security
alarms, and room monitors
The base’s location affects the phone’s
range. If you have a choice of several lo-
cations, try each to see which provides
the best performance.
Notes:
• Your telephone connects directly to a
modular telephone line jack. If your
phone line jack is not a modular jack,
you can update the wiring 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.
CONNECTING THE PHONE
After you select a location for the phone’s
base, follow these steps to connect it to
AC power and to the phone line.
Caution: You must use a Class
2 power source that supplies 12
volts DC and delivers at least
500 mA. Its center tip must be set to posi-
tive and its plug must fit the ET-1101's
DC
12V 500mA jack. The supplied adapter
meets these specifications. Using an
adapter that does not meet these specifi-
cations could damage the ET-1101 or the
adapter.
1. Plug one end of the supplied 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.
