SELECTING A LOCATION

You can place the phone on a desk top or table, or mount it on a wall.
Select a location that is:

  near a AC outlet

  near a telephone line jack

  out of the way of normal activities

  away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal walls
  or filing cabinets, 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 locations, try each to see which provides the best performance.


MOUNTING/CONNECTING THE PHONE

To use both of the ET-598's lines, you must connect it to two separate
telephone lines.  Each of these lines must have its own phone number.  If
you do not have two telephone lines, contact your phone company to get
a second line.

You can connect your telephone to a 2-line modular telephone jack using
the supplied 2-line modular cord.

Or, you can connect it to two separate 1-line modular telephone jacks
using the supplied 2-line modular cord and a 1-line modular cord (such
as Radio Shack Cat. No. 279-356, not supplied).

NOTES:  Two-line and single-line modular cords looks alike but are wired
        differently.  To use the ET-598's two lines, use only the supplied
        two-line modular cord to connect to a two-line modular jack.

        You can also use the ET-598 with a single 1-line modular jack.

If you phone wiring does not have a modular phone jack, you can:

  Update the wiring yourself, using jacks and adapters available at
  your local Radio Shack store

  Have the phone company update the wiring for you

NOTE:  The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ14C for a two-line
       baseboard jack or RJ14W for two-line wall-plate jack.

CAUTION:  The supplied Radio Shack adapter was designed specifically
          for your ET-598.  Use only the supplied adapter.


Placing the Base on a Desk Top

Follow these steps when you place the base on a desk, shelf, or table.

1.  If you have a single 2-line modular jack, plug one end of the supplied
    modular cord into the TEL LINE 1/2 jack.

    NOTE:  When you make this connection, you should not connect another
           modular cord to the TEL LINE 2 jack or phone operation will
           be erratic.

           If you have two separate 1-line modular jacks, plug one end
           of the supplied modular cord into the TEL LINE 1/2 jack and
           plug another modular cord (not supplied) into the TEL LINE
           2 jack.

           If you have only a single 1-line modular jack, plug one end
           of the supplied modular cord into the TEL LINE 1/2 jack to
           use line 1, or into the TEL LINE 2 jack to use line 2.

2.  Plug the supplied AC adapter's barrel plug into the DC IN 9V jack.

3.  Route the adapter's cord through the strain relief slot.

4.  Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.  The POWER indicator on
    the base lights.

5.  Plug the other end(s) of the modular cord(s) into the modular jack(s).

6.  Raise the base's antenna to a vertical position and fully extend it.


Mounting the Base on a Wall Plate

To make this connection, you need a 2-line short modular cord, such as
Cat. No. 279-390 (not supplied).

1.  If you have a single 2-line modular jack on the wall plate, plug one
    end of a 2-line short modular cord into the TEL LINE 1/2 jack.

    NOTE:  When you make this connection, you should not connect another
           modular cord to the TEL LINE 2 jack or phone operation will
           be erratic.

           If you have a single 1-line modular jack on the wall plate and
           a modular wall jack close by, plug one end of a short modular
           cord into the TEL LINE 1/2 jack to use line 1, then connect
           the supplied modular cord into the TEL LINE 2 jack to use
           line 2.

           If you have only a single 1-line modular jack on the wall
           plate, plug one end of a short modular cord into the TEL LINE
           1/2 jack to use line 1, or to the TEL LINE 2 jack to use line
           2.

2.  Plug the supplied AC adapter's barrel plug into the DC IN 9V jack.

3.  Route the adapter cord through both the upper and lower grooves and
    the modular cord(s) through only the upper groove on the bottom of the
    base.

    NOTE:  If you are using two modular cords, route both through the
           appropriate grooves.

4.  Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.  The POWER indicator on
    the base lights.

5.  Plug the other end(s) of the modular cord(s) into the wall plate jack
    (and wall jack, if appropriate), then align the base's keyhole slots
    with the wall plate studs and slide the base downward to secure it.

6.  Press and lift out the handset holder, rotate it 180 degrees, then
    snap it back into place so it holds the handset.

7.  Raise the base's antenna to a vertical position and fully extend it.


Mounting the Base Directly on the Wall

To mount the base directly on the wall, you need two wood screws (not
supplied) with heads that fit into the keyhole slots on the bottom of the
base.

1.  Drill two holes 3 15/16 inches apart.  Then thread a screw into each
    hole, letting the heads extend about 5/16 inch from the wall.

2.  If you have a single 2-line modular jack, plug one end of the supplied
    modular cord into the TEL LINE 1/2 jack.

    NOTE:  When you make this connection, you should not connect another
           modular cord to the TEL LINE 2 jack or phone operation will
           be erratic.

           If you have two separate 1-line modular jacks, plug one end
           of the supplied modular cord into the TEL LINE 1/2 jack and
           plug another modular cord (not supplied) into the TEL LINE
           2 jack.

           If you have only a single 1-line modular jack, plug one end
           of the supplied modular cord into the TEL LINE 1/2 jack to use
           line 1, or into the TEL LINE 2 jack to use line 2.


3.  Plug the supplied AC adapter's barrel plug into the DC IN 9V jack.

4.  Route the adapter and modular cords through both the upper and lower
    grooves on the bottom of the base.

    NOTE:  If you are using two modular cords, route both through the
           appropriate grooves.

5.  Plug the adapter into a standard AC standard AC outlet.  The POWER
    indicator on the base lights.

6.  Plug the other end(s) of the cord(s) into a modular phone line
    jack(s).

7.  Align the keyhole slots with the mounting screws and slide the base
    downward to secure it.

8.  Press and lift out the handset holder, rotate it 180 degrees, then
