INSTALLATION
Before using your phone, carefully peel the
protective film off the display. The film
protects the handset window during
shipment and is not necessary for use.
SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone’s base on a desk
or table, or mount it on a standard wall plate
or directly on a wall. Select a location that
is:Ô
• near an accessible AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
•away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, metal walls or
filing cabinets, wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
•away from other cordless phones
The base’s location affects the handset’s
range. If you have a choice of several
locations, try each to see which provides the
best performance.
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. Ô
CAUTION
You must use
a Class 2
power source
that supplies 9V DC and
delivers at least 210 mA.
Its center tip must be set
to positive and its plug
must fit the phone's DC
IN 9V jack. The supplied
adapter meets these
specifications. Using an
adapter that does not
meet these
specifications could
damage the phone or
the adapter.
• Always connect the AC
adapter to the phone
before you connect it to
AC power. When you
finish, disconnect the
adapter from AC power
before you disconnect it
from the phone.

Ô NOTE Ô
• If your home has
specially wired alarm
equipment connected to
the telephone line, be
sure that installing the
system does not disable
your alarm equipment.
If you have questions
about what will disable
alarm equipment,
contact your telephone
company or a qualified
installer.
• The USOC number of
the jack to be installed is
RJ11C (or RJ11W for a
wall plate jack).
