MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the phone on a desk or table,
or mount it on a standard wall plate or direct-
ly 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 electrical machinery, electri-
cal appliances, metal walls or filing cabi-
nets, wireless intercoms, alarms, and
room monitors
• away from other cordless phones
The base's location affects the handset's
range. If you have a choice of several loca-
tions, try each to see which provides the best
performance.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 9V AC
and delivers at least 350 mA.
Its center tip must be set to positive and
its plug must fit the phone's
DC IN 9V
jack. The supplied adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications
could damage the phone or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the
phone before you connect it to AC
power. When you finish, disconnect the
adapter from AC power before you dis-
connect it from the phone.
Note:
Your telephone connects directly to a
modular telephone line jack. If your tele-
phone wiring 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 update the wiring for you.
The USOC number of the jack to be installed
is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate jack).

4. Plug the modular cord's other end into a
modular telephone line jack.
5. Insert the supplied AC adapter's barrel
plug into the
DC IN 9V
jack on the back of
the base.
6. Route the adapter's cord through the
strain relief slot on the bracket.
7. Plug the adapter into a standard AC out-
let.
8. Lift the base's antenna to a vertical posi-
tion.
