MOUNTING THE PHONE
Note: The adapter powers the phone’s neon light and is
not needed for phone operation.
Cautions:
• Always unplug the adapter from the AC outlet before
you unplug the other end from the phone.
• The supplied AC adapter supplies 12 volts, delivers at
least 400 milliamps, and has a plug which properly fits
the phone’s DC 12V jack. Using an adapter that does
not meet these specifications could damage the phone
or the adapter.
