SELECTING A
LOCATION
You can place the phone 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
adapter was designed specifically for
your ET-551. Use only the supplied
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).
