INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the ET-1118’s base on a
desk or table, mount it on a standard
wall plate, or mount it directly 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,
electrical appliances, metal walls or
filing cabinets, 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 lo-
cations, try each to see which provides
the best performance.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
power source that supplies
9 volts AC and delivers at
least 500 mA. Its center tip must be
set to positive and its plug must fit
the ET-1118's
DC IN 9V
jack. The
supplied adapter meets these speci-
fications. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications
could damage the ET-1118 or the
adapter.
Always connect the AC adapter to
the ET-1118 before you connect it to
AC power. When you finish, discon-
nect the adapter from AC power be-
fore you disconnect it from the ET-
1118.
Notes:
Your telephone connects directly to
a modular telephone line jack. If
your phone line jack is not a modu-
lar jack, you can update the wiring
yourself, using jacks and adapters
available at your local RadioShack
store. Or, you can let the phone
company update the wiring for you.
The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C (RJ11W for a wall
plate).
On a Desk Top
1. Plug one end of the supplied long
modular cord into the
TEL LINE
jack
on the back of the base.
2. Plug the modular cord’s other end
into a modular telephone line jack.
3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug into the
DC IN 9V
jack on
the back of the base.
