INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE
HANDSET’S
ANTENNA
Insert the antenna into the
hole on the top of the hand-
set, then twist the antenna
clockwise until it is secure.
SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone on a desk top,
or mount it on a wall plate or directly on
a wall. Select a location that is:
• near an AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, metal walls or
filing cabinets, wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
• away from other cordless phones
The base’s location affects the phone’s
range. If you have a choice of several lo-
cations, try each to see which provides
the best performance.
Notes
:
• Your telephone connects directly to
a modular telephone line jack. If
your phone line jack is not a modu-
lar jack, you can update the wiring
yourself, using jacks and adapters
available at your local RadioShack
store. Or, you can let the phone
company update the wiring for you.
• The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C (RJ11W if you
want to mount it on a wall plate).
Caution
: You must use an AC adapter
that supplies 9 volts with the center tip
set to positive. It must deliver 500 milli-
amps, and its plug must properly fit the
telephone’s
DC 9V
jack. The supplied
AC adapter meets these specifications.
Using an adapter that does not meet
these specifications could damage the
telephone or the adapter.
Placing on a Desk Top
1. Push in the two tabs on the top of
the mounting bracket, then lift off
just the upper part of the bracket.
2. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug into the
DC
9V
jack on
the back of the base, route the
adapter cord through the strain relief
slot and the hole on the bracket,
then push in the mounting bracket’s
upper end to click the bracket into
place.
