INSTALLATION
SELECTING A
MOUNTING LOCATION
You can mount the base on a wall
plate or directly on a wall. Or, you can
place it on a desk, shelf, or table. Se-
lect a location that is:
• Near an AC outlet
• Near a telephone line jack
• Out of the way of normal activities
• Away from computers, remote
control toys, wireless micro-
phones, wireless intercoms,
alarms and room monitors, fluo-
rescent lights, electrical machin-
ery, electrical appliances, metal
walls, filing cabinets, and other
large metal objects
For the best reception, you should be
able to fully extend the base’s antenna
and place it in a vertical position.
The base’s location affects the phone’s
range. If you have a choice of several
locations, try each to see which one
provides the best performance.
If the phone line jack is not a modular
jack, you must update the wiring your-
self, using jacks and adapters avail-
able at your local Radio Shack store.
Or, you can let the phone company up-
date the wiring for you.
• The phone company will charge
you for the installation of the nec-
essary jacks.
• The USOC number of the jack to
be installed is RJ11C for a base-
board jack and RJ11W for a wall-
plate jack.
