INSTALLATION
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-536/ET-549. 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 phone company will charge
you for the installation of neces-
sary jacks.
• 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 mod-
ular 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.
