Installation
Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some important guidelines you should consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and power outlet.
• Keep the Base Unit and Handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors or
fluorescent lighting.
• Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the Base Unit antenna.
• The Base Unit can be placed on a desk or tabletop or wall mounted on the wall plate.
• If you decide to mount your phone on the wall, make sure to change the Handset Retainer so that the
tab which holds the Handset faces up (see page ? for more information).
• You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before completing the installation or using
the Handset.
Telephone Line Outlets:
Modular Jack
Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords are fitted with a molded plastic
connector which plugs into this type of jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks, contact your local
telephone company for information about their installation.
Connecting the Telephone Cords
Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cords.
CAUTION!
* Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
* Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected.
* Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Applying Power to the Base Unit
The DX834 phone requires an uninterupted AC outlet, and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on
the DC plug when the phone is placed on a desk or table, connect the adapter as shown below.
Wrap the power cord around the convenient notch on the bottom.
Important:Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard or where it could
become chafed and create a fire or other electrical hazards.
