INSTALLING YOUR TELEPHONE
UNPACKING YOUR TELEPHONE
Check the contents of the carton. Make sure you have a
telephone, a baseplate, a 7-foot handset cord, a long modular line
cord, and a short modular line cord.
If anything is missing or damaged, contact the place of
purchase.
MODULAR JACKS
To install your telephone, you must have a modular wall jack
at the desired location, or a 4-prong jack that can be modified with
a 4-prong adapter. If your telephone line does not have a modular
wall jack, or a jack that can be modified, you must have one installed.
DANGER: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and
personal injury, observe the following when install-
ing station wiring:
1. Never install telephone wiring during a light-
ning storm.
2. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations
unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
3. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or
terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
4. Use caution when installing or modifying
telephone lines.
