SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone on a desk or table,
on a standard wall plate or mount it directly
on a wall. Select a location that is:
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery, electri-
cal appliances, metal walls, filing cabi-
nets, wireless intercoms, security
alarms, and room monitors
Your telephone connects directly to a modu-
lar telephone line jack. If your telephone wir-
ing does not have a modular jack, you can
update the wiring yourself using jacks and
adapters (available at your local RadioShack
store), or have the telephone company up-
date the wiring for you. You must use com-
patible modular jacks that are compliant with
Part 68 of
FCC Rules
. The telephone cord
and modular plug provided is Part 68 compli-
ant for connecting to the telephone company
network.
Note:
The USOC number of the single-line
jack to be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a
wall plate jack). The USOC number for a
two-line jack is RJ14C (or RJ14W for a wall
plate).
MOUNTING THE PHONE
On a Desktop
1. Plug one end of the supplied long modu-
lar cord into the modular jack on the
base’s bottom.
2. Route the phone cord through the
groove on the base’s bottom. Secure the
cord under the tabs along the groove.
3. Plug the other end of the cord into a
modular phone jack.
On a Wall Plate
1. Plug one end of the supplied short mod-
ular cord into the modular jack on the
back of the phone.
2. Route the phone cord through the first
tab, then into the groove leading to the
rectangular space. Secure the cord with
the tabs.
3. Plug the other end of the cord into a wall
plate with a modular phone jack. Press
any excess cord into the rectangular
space on the bottom of the system to
keep it out of the way.
4. Fit the wall plate studs into the keyhole
slots on the bottom of the phone, then
slide the base down to secure it.
