The Basics

The handset antenna is located on the back, above

the ringer speaker. For maximum communication

range, do not hold the handset in such a way as to

cover the antenna by your hand. Also, place the

handset in the upright position while not in use so the

antenna can pick up the signals from the base.
When there is an obstacle such as a metal or

concrete wall between the handset and the base, the

operation might be affected. Try to keep it free from

obstructions.
Your telephone connects directly to a modular

telephone line jack. If your telephone wiring 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 update the wiring for you. You must use

compatible 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).
