INSTALLATION
M
OUNTING THE
P
HONE
You can place the phone on a desk or table.
Choose a location that is:
! Ô
• near an AC outlet
• near a modular telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery, electrical
appliances, metal walls or filing cabinets,
wireless intercoms, alarms, and room monitors
• away from other cordless phones
You can try different locations to see which provides
the best performance.
Your telephone connects directly to a modular
telephone line jack. If your telephone wiring does
not have a modular jack, you can update the wiring
yourself using jacks and adapters (available at your
local RadioShack store or online at
RadioShack.com), or have the telephone company
update the wiring for you. You must use compatible
modular jacks that are compliant with Part 68 of
FCC Rules. The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C (RJ11W for a wall plate).
On a Desk Top
1. Plug one end of the
supplied long
modular cord into
the
TEL LINE jack
on the base’s back.
2. Plug the modular
cord’s other end
into a modular
telephone line jack.
3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug
into the DC IN 9V jack on the back.

IMPORTANT
!
Cordless phones such as this
one require AC power to
operate. When the AC power
is off, you cannot dial out or
receive incoming calls using
your phone. To be safe, you
should also have a phone that
does not need AC power to
operate (not a cordless
phone) so you can still make
and receive calls if there is an
AC power failure.
When AC power is lost, the
phone loses the digital
security code connection
between the base and the
handset. When power is
restored, put the handset on
the base briefly to restore
this connection.
Ô
NOTE
Ô
If your home has specially
wired alarm equipment
connected to the telephone
line, be sure that installing
the system does not disable
your alarm equipment.
If you have questions about
what will disable alarm
equipment, contact your
telephone company or a
qualified installer.
CAUTION
You must use a Class
two power source that
supplies 9V DC and
delivers at least 350 mA. Its
center tip must be set to
positive and its plug must fit
the phone's DC IN 9V jack.
The supplied adapter meets
these specifications. Using
an adapter that does not
meet these specifications
could damage the phone or
the adapter.
