TELETALKER
™
Model TEL 040 Installation Guide & User Manual
Bare Wall Installation
Even if you don’t have a studded wall phone plate, you can still
mount the TELETALKER on any wall surface within six feet of a
standard modular jack and AC outlet. To mount the phone farther
from the jack you’ll need a longer line cord or a telephone exten-
sion cord. In either case, place the AC power pack in a location
which will not be subject to disturbance.
Step 1: Measure and mark the wall for mounting screws.
Mark two points 3-
1
⁄4 inches apart for upper and lower
mounting screws. The lower mark should be 48–52
inches from the floor. Use a level to make sure the
marks are aligned vertically.
Step 2: Install the mounting screws (not included).
Use wood screws for stud mounting, anchor screws for
hollow wall mounting. Drive the screws almost com-
pletely in, leaving a
1
⁄8 inch space between the wall sur-
face and the bottom of the screw head (about the thick-
ness of two stacked pennies).
Step 3: Reverse the handset hanger to prevent the handset from
falling.
Step 4: Mount the TELETALKER.
Hang the telephone on the mounting screws and push
down gently until it snaps into place
Step 5: Connect the line cord to the jack on the top of the phone.
Plug the other end of the line cord into a modular wall
jack.
Make sure it snaps firmly into place.
Step 6: Connect the AC power pack to a wall AC outlet.
Step 7: Check for the dial tone.
If you can’t hear a dial tone, see In Case Of Difficulty,
page 12.
Note: To disconnect the telephone, squeeze the clip on the
modular plug and pull it out of the jack.
