INSTALLATION
SELECTING A
LOCATION
Select a dry location for the tele-
phone’s base that is:
• Near an AC outlet
• Near a telephone line jack
• Out of the way of normal activities
• Away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, and metal
walls or filing cabinets
• Away from 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.
Note:
If the phone line jack is not a
modular jack, you must update the
wiring yourself, using jacks and adapt-
ers available at your local RadioShack
store. Or, you can let the phone com-
pany 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 RJ11C for a base-
board jack or RJ11W for a wall
jack.
Caution:
You must use a Class 2
120V AC/12V DC adapter that deliv-
ers at least 200 milliamps with its cen-
ter tip set to positive. Its plug must
correctly fit the phone’s
12V DC
jack.
The supplied adapter meets these re-
quirements. Using an adapter that
does not meet these requirements
could damage the phone or the adapt-
er.
INSTALLING THE BASE
1. Plug one end of the supplied mod-
ular cord into the
TEL.LINE
jack on
the back of the base.
2. Plug the modular cord’s other end
into a modular phone line jack.
3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug into the
12V DC
jack on
the back of the base.
4. Plug the adapter into a standard
AC outlet.
5. Place the base’s antenna in a ver-
tical position.
