Installation

Selecting a Location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some important

guidelines you should consider:

l

The location should be close to both a phone jack and power outlet.

l

Keep the Base Unit and Handset away from sources of electrical
noise such as motors or fluorescent lighting.

l

Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the Base Unit

antenna.

l

The Base Unit can be placed on a desk or tabletop or wall mounted.

l

If you decide to mount your phone on the wall, make sure to change

the Handset Retainer so that the tab which holds the Handset faces

up. (See page 17 for more information.)

l

You should charge your new phone for 15-12 hours
uninterrupted before completing the installation or using the

Handset.

Telephone Line Outlet

Modular Jack

Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone

cords are fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into
this type of jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks, contact
your local telephone company for information about their

installation.

Connecting the Telephone Cords

Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cords:

CAUTION:

l

Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

l

Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the

telephone line has been disconnected.

l

Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Applying Power to the Base Unit

All the XCA650/XCA750 phones require an AC outlet and the included AC
Adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug when the phone is placed on a
desk or table, connect the adapter as shown below.

Wrap the power cord around the

convenient notch on the bottom.

Important: Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard, or

where if could become chafed and create a fire or other

electrical hazards.
