MOUNTING THE PHONE
Select a flat surface that is:
• near an AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery, electri-
cal appliances, metal walls or filing cabi-
nets, 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 loca-
tions, try each to see which provides the best
performance.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 9V DC
and delivers at least 300 mA.
Its center tip must be set to positive and
its plug must fit the phone's
DC 9V 300
mA jack. The supplied adapter meets
these specifications. Using an adapter
that does not meet these specifications
could damage the phone or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the
phone before you connect it to AC
power. When you finish, disconnect the
adapter from AC power before you dis-
connect it from the phone.
Your telephone connects directly to a modu-
lar telephone line jack. If your telephone wir-
ing does not have a modular jack, you can
update the wiring yourself using jacks and
adapters (available at your local RadioShack
store), or have the telephone company up-
date the wiring for you. You must use com-
patible modular jacks that are compliant with
Part 68 of FCC Rules.
Note: The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate
jack).
Follow these steps to set up your phone.
1. Plug one end of the supplied modular
cord into the TEL jack on the back of the
base.
2. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel
plug into the DC 9V 300 mA jack on the
back of the base.
3. Plug the modular cord’s other end into
the phone jack.
4. Route the adapter cord through the
strain relief slot on the base then plug
the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
5. Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical posi-
tion.
CONNECTING, CHARGING,
AND REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
The phone comes with a rechargeable
nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery pack
in the handset. Before using your phone,
you must connect the battery pack, then
charge it for about 24 hours.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the compart-
ment.
3. Plug the battery pack's connector into
the socket in the compartment, (the con-
