Installation
Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some important
guidelines you should consider:
l
The location should be close to both a phone jack and power outlet.
l Keep the Base Unit and Handset away from sources of electrical
noise such as motors or fluorescent lighting.
l Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the Base Unit
antenna.
l
The Base Unit can be placed on a desk or
tabletop
or wall mounted.
l 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 17 for more information.)
l You should charge your new phone for 15-12 hours
uninterrupted before completing the installation or using the
Handset.
Telephone Line Outlet
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:
l Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
l Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
telephone line has been disconnected.
l Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Applying Power to the Base Unit
All the
XCA650/XCA750
phones require an 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 if could become chafed and create a fire or other
electrical hazards.
