INSTALLATION
SELECTING A LOCATION
Select a location for the telephone that
is:
• Near an AC outlet
• Near a telephone line jack
• Out of the way of normal activities
• Away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, and metal
walls or filing cabinets
• Away from wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
The base’s location affects the phone’s
range. If you have a choice of several
locations, try each to see which pro-
vides the best performance.
Note: If the phone line jack is not a
modular jack, you must update the wir-
ing yourself, using jacks and adapters
available at your local RadioShack
store. Or, you can let the phone com-
pany update the wiring for you.
• The phone company will charge
you for the installation of the nec-
essary jacks.
• The USOC number of the jack to
be installed is RJ11C for a base-
board jack or RJ11W for a wall
jack.
Caution: You must use a 120V AC/
12V DC adapter that delivers at least
200 milliamps with its center tip set to
positive. Its plug must correctly fit the
phone’s
12V DC jack. The supplied
adapter meets these requirements.
Using an adapter that does not meet
these requirements could damage the
phone or the adapter.
Placing the Base on
a Desk Top
1. Plug one end of the supplied mod-
ular cord into the phone jack on
the back of the base.
2. Plug the modular cord’s other end
into a modular phone line jack.
3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug into the 12V DC jack on
the back of the base.
4. Plug the adapter into a standard
AC outlet.
5. Fully extend the base’s antenna
and place it in a vertical position.
