MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the phone’s base on a desk or
table, mount it on a standard wall plate or di-
rectly on a wall. Choose a location that is:
near an AC outlet
near a modular telephone line jack
out of the way of normal activities
away from electrical machinery, electri-
cal appliances, metal walls or filing cabi-
nets, wireless intercoms, alarms, and
room monitors
away from other cordless phones
The base’s location affects the phone’s
range. If you have a choice of several loca-
tions, try each to see which provides the best
performance.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 9V DC
and delivers at least 350 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.
