INSTALLATION
SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone on a desk top
or table, mount it on a standard wall
plate, or mount it directly on a wall. Se-
lect 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 intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
• away from other cordless phones
The base’s location affects the handset’s
range. If you have a choice of several lo-
cations, try each to see which provides
the best performance.
Caution: The supplied RadioShack
adapter was designed specifically for
your ET-553/ET-554. 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 modu-
lar 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 (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. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug into the DC IN 9V jack on
the back of the base.
