Radio Shack TAD-1010 - Manual (Page 9)

SELECTING A LOCATION
You can set the TAD-1010’s base on a
flat surface (such as a desktop or coun-
tertop), or mount it on a wall plate or di-
rectly on the wall. The base’s location
affects the phone’s range. If you have a
choice of several locations, try each to
see which one provides the best perfor-
mance.
Select a location that is:
• Near an AC outlet
• Near a modular telephone line jack
• Away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, and metal
walls or filing cabinets
• Away from wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
If the phone line jack is not a modular
jack, you must update the wiring. You
can convert the wiring yourself, using
jacks and adapters available at your lo-
cal Radio Shack store. Or, you can let
the phone company update the wiring
for you.
Notes:
• The phone company charges for
the installation of the necessary
jacks.
• The USOC number of the base-
board jack to be installed is RJ11C.
PLACING THE BASE ON A
DESKTOP
1. Plug one end of the supplied 7-foot
modular cord into the TO TEL. LINE

base.
2. Plug the modular cord’s other end
into a modular phone line jack.
3. Plug the TAD-1010’s AC cord into a
standard AC outlet.
4. For the best reception, adjust the

up.
MOUNTING THE BASE ON
