MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the phone on a desk or table,
or mount it on a standard wall plate or direct-
ly on a wall.
Select a location that is:
• near an easily accessible AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery, electri-
cal appliances, metal walls, filing cabi-
nets, wireless intercoms, security
alarms, and room monitors
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.
Your telephone connects directly to a modu-
lar telephone line jack. If your telephone wir-
ing 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 up-
date the wiring for you. You must use com-
patible modular jacks that are compliant with
Part 68 of
FCC Rules
.
Note:
The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate
jack).
On a Desk
Follow these steps to use the supplied brack-
et (pre-installed into the lower tab slots) as a
stand when mounting the base on a desk or
table.
1. Press down on the tabs on the top of the
bracket and lift the bracket from the clip
slots. Remove the bracket completely
from the lower tab slots.
2. Rotate the bracket 180
°
, then insert the
bracket’s tabs into the upper tab slots
and snap into place.
3. Plug the modular cord’s other end into a
modular phone line jack.
4. Route the adapter and phone cords
through the strain relief slot on the
bracket if necessary.
5. Plug the adapter into a standard AC out-
let.
6. Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical posi-
tion.
On a Wall Plate
1. Route the adapter and phone cords
through the strain relief grooves on the
bottom of the bracket if necessary.
2. Plug the modular cord into the wall plate
jack, then align the bracket’s keyhole
slots with the wall plate studs and slide
the base downward to secure it.
3. Plug the adapter into a standard AC out-
let.
4. Press up on the handset holder and
slide it out of place. Turn it upside down
so its tabbed edge faces up, then slide it
back down into its slot.
5. Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical posi-
tion.
