CHOOSING A LOCATION
The corded phone and cordless handset (with charging
cradle) require only one phone jack for both phones. You
can place the cordless handset and the charging cradle
anywhere in your house, such as the kitchen, workshop
or garage, without using a separate phone jack.
INSTALLING THE CORDED PHONE
You can place the corded phone on a desk or table, or
mount it on a standard wall plate or directly on a wall.
Use the supplied 12V, 300-mA AC/DC adapter to power
the corded phone.
Select a location that is:
• near an easily accessible AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery, electrical
appliances, metal walls, filing cabinets, wireless
intercoms, security alarms, and room monitors. The
corded phone’s location affects the phone’s range. If
you have a choice of several locations, try each to
see which provides the best performance.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power source that
supplies 12V DC and delivers at least 300
mA. Its center tip must be set to positive
and its plug must fit the corded phone's DC 12V
300mA 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
disconnect it from the phone.
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).
On a Desk
1. Insert the tabs on the top of the desktop stand into
the slots on the phone’s base, then snap the stand’s
bottom tabs into place.
2. Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the
TEL LINE jack on the back of the corded phone.
3. Plug the modular cord’s other end into a modular
phone line jack.
4. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug into the
DC 12V 300mA jack on the back of the corded phone.
5. Route the adapter’s cord through the strain relief
slot.
6. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
7. Lift the corded phone’s antenna to a vertical position.
On a Wall Plate or Wall
1. Insert the bracket’s tabs into the corded phone’s tab
slots, then press down on the bracket’s clips and
insert them into the clip slots.
2. Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the
TEL LINE jack on the back of the corded phone.
3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug into the
DC 12V 300mA jack on the back of the corded phone.
4. Route the adapter and modular cord through the
groove on the bottom of the bracket.
5. Plug the modular cord’s other end into the wall plate
jack, then align the bracket’s keyhole slots with the
wall plate studs and slide the corded phone
downward to secure it.
6. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
