INSTALLATION
Your telephone connects directly to a
modular telephone line jack. Choose a
mounting location for the phone that is
near a modular phone jack and away
from normal activities.
If your telephone wiring does not have
a modular jack, you can update the
wiring yourself. Radio Shack stores
sell the necessary wall jacks and
adapters to convert older wiring meth-
ods to modular wiring. Or, you can
have the telephone company update
your telephone wiring for you.
Notes:
• The telephone company charges
to install the necessary jacks.
• The USOC number of the jack to
be installed if RJ11C for a base-
board jack, or RJ11W for a wall
jack.
MOUNTING THE PHONE
In addition to the supplied mounting
hardware (anchors, plugs, screws, and
rubber spacers), you need the follow-
ing tools/supplies to mount your
phone:
• A large piece of paper (at least 8
×
18 in.)
• Phillips screwdriver
• Hammer
• Electric drill with a 3 /
16
-inch drill bit
Preparation
Follow these steps to prepare an easy-
to-use template for marking the wall at
the desired mounting location.
1. Lay the phone flat on a large
piece of paper. Then, without
moving the phone, trace the loca-
tion of each of the four mounting
holes onto the paper.
2. Tape the paper “template” on the
wall at the desired mounting loca-
tion.
