Radio Shack 43-5862 - Manual (Page 15)

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 the
path 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).
Connecting the Phone Base
Plug one end of the supplied long modular cord into the TEL
LINE jack on the bottom of the base.
Plug the other end of
the modular cord into
a modular phone line
jack.
