PREPARATION
SELECTING A
LOCATION
Select a location for the telephone 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 can update the wir-
ing yourself, using jacks and adapters
available at your local RadioShack
store. Or, you can let the phone com-
pany update the wiring for you. The
USOC number of the jack to be in-
stalled is RJ11C.
CONNECTING THE BASE
Follow these steps to set up and con-
nect 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. Plug 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. Fully extend the base’s antenna
and place it in a vertical position.
Caution:
You must use a 120V AC/
12V DC adapter that delivers at least
200 milliamps. Its center tip must be
positive, and its plug must correctly fit
the phone’s
12V DC
jack. The supplied
adapter meets these requirements.
Using an adapter that does not meet
these requirements could damage the
phone or the adapter.
