INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some
important guidelines you should consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous power
outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which does not have
a switch to interrupt its power.)
• Keep the base and handset away from
sources of electrical noise such as motors or
fluorescent lighting.
• Be sure there is sufficient space to fully
extend the base antenna.
• The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop
or mounted on a standard AT&T or GTE
wall plate.
• You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before completing
the installation or using the handset.
Telephone Line Outlets
There are two types of phone outlets:
▼
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.
▼
Hardwired Jack
Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types of
installations require a modular jack converter. This type of installation
is not difficult; however, you should contact your local telephone
dealer or a telephone supply store for advice about the proper adapter
or converter for your particular situation.
