INSTALLATION
Important:
After you select a location
for the phone (see “Selecting a Loca-
tion”), you must install the phone in the
following order before you use it for the
first time.
1. Install the handset’s antenna (see
“Installing the Handset’s An-
tenna” on Page 7).
2. Connect the battery to the hand-
set (see “Connecting the Battery”
on Page 7).
3. Connect the base to power (see
“Connecting Power” on Page 7).
4. Charge the phone’s battery for
about 24 hours (see “Charging
the Battery” on Page 8).
5. Install the base and connect it to
your phone line (see “Installing the
Base” on Page 9).
SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place your phone on a desk,
shelf, or table, or mount it on a wall.
Select a location that is:
Near an AC outlet
Near a telephone line jack
Out of the way of normal activities
Away from fluorescent lights, elec-
trical machinery, electrical appli-
ances, and metal walls or filing
cabinets
Away from computers, remote
control toys, wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
The base’s location affects the phone’s
range. If you have a choice of several
locations, try each to see which pro-
vides the best performance.
Notes:
If the phone line jack is not a mod-
ular jack, you must update the wir-
ing. You can do this yourself,
using jacks and adapters avail-
able at your local RadioShack
store, or you can let the phone
company update 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 RJ11W for a wall
jack or RJ11C for a wall plate.
