Read This Before Installation

We have designed your telephone to conform to federal regulations, and you
can connect it to most telephone lines.  However, each device that you con-
nect to the phone line draws power from the phone line.  We refer to this
power draw as the device's ringer equivalence number, or REN.  The REN is
shown on the bottom of your phone's base.

If you are using more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all
the REN's.  If the total is more than five, your phone might not ring.  In
rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer operation.  If ringer
operation is impaired, remove a device from the line.

FCC Statement

This telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules.  You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your phone company.
These numbers are located on the bottom of your phone's base.

NOTE:  You must not connect your phone to any of the following:

         Coin-operated systems

         Party-line systems

         Most electronic key phone systems

Installation

Select a location for the telephone that is:

  Near an AC outlet

  Near a telephone line jack

  Out of the way of normal activities

  Away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, and metal walls or
  filling cabinets

  Away from wireless intercoms, alarms and room monitors

The base's location affects the phone's range.  If you have a choice of
several locations, try each to see which provides the best performance.

NOTE:  If the phone line jack is not a modular jack, you must update the
       wiring yourself, using jacks and adapters available at your local
       Radio Shack store.  Or, you can let the phone company update the
       wiring for you.

  The phone company will charge you for the installation of the necessary
  jacks.

  The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C for a baseboard jack
  or RJ11W for a wall jack.

CAUTION:  You must use a 120 VAC/12 VDC adapter that delivers at least 200
          milliamps with its center tip set to positive. Its plug must cor-
          rectly fit the phone's 12 VDC jack.  The supplied adapter meets
          these requirements.  Using an adapter that does not meet these
          requirements could damage the phone or the adapter.

Placing the Base on a Desk Top

1.  Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the phone jack on the
    back of the base.

2.  Plug the modular cord's other end into a modular phone line jack.

3.  Insert the supplied AC adapter's barrel plug into the 12 VDC jack on
    the back of the base.

4.  Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

5.  Fully extend the base's antenna and place it in a vertical position.

Mounting the Base on a Wall Plate

You need a standard wall plate (not supplied) for this mounting method.

1.  Plug one end of the short modular cord into the phone jack on the back
    of the base.

2.  Route the short cord downward through the top left slot on the base's
    bottom and under the clips as shown.

3.  Route the other end of the short cord through the hole in the supplied
    bracket's center.

4.  Align the tabs on the bracket with the slots on the back of the base and
    push up on the bracket until it snaps in place.

    NOTE:  If you later want to remove the bracket, press PUSH and slide the
           bracket down to remove it from the base's bottom.

5.  Insert the supplied AC adapter's barrel plug into the 12 VDC jack on the
    back of the base. Then route the adapter's cord around the strain relief
    and through the right slot on the base's bottom and under the clips as
    shown.

6.  Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

7.  Plug the modular cord into the wall plate's jack.

8.  Align the bracket's keyhole slots with the wall plate studs and slide
    the base downward to secure it.

9.  Press and lift out the handset holder.  Rotate the holder 180 degrees
    as shown, and then snap it back into place so it holds the handset.

10. Fully extend the base's antenna and place it in a vertical position.

Mounting the Base Directly on a Wall

You need two wood screws (not supplied) for this mounting method.

1.  Drill two holes 3 15/16 inches (100 mm) apart. Then thread a screw into
    each hole, letting the heads extend about 1/4 inch (6.5 mm) from the
    wall.

2.  Plug one end of the supplied long modular cord into the phone jack on
    the back of the base.

3.  On the bottom of the base, route the modular cord downward and under the
    left slot's clips.  Then plug the cord's other end into a modular phone
    line jack.

4.  Align the tabs on the bracket with the slots on the back of the base and
    push up on the bracket until it snaps in place.

    NOTE:  If you later want to remove the bracket, press PUSH and slide the
           bracket down to remove it from the base's bottom.

5.  Insert the supplied AC adapter's barrel plug into the 12 VDC jack on the
    back of the base. Then route the adapter's cord around the strain relief
    and through the right slot on the base's bottom and under the clips.

6.  Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

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