INSTALLING YOUR PHONE
6
INSTALLING YOUR PHONE
CHOOSE ALOCATION FOR THE BASE UNIT
The base should be away from all other electronic equipment such as a
personal computer, microwave, stereo, or television. It is also a good
idea to place the unit away from noisy areas, or from heat sources such
as a radiator or direct sunlight.
PLUG IN THE ADAPTER
a.) Plug the adapter tip into the round
jack on the base and the other end
into an electrical outlet. Without AC
power your phone will not operate.
b.) Thread the cord through the clip on
the housing to prevent the cord from
pulling loose.
INSTALL THE LINE CORD
You can set your telephone on a tabletop or you can mount the phone on
a wall.
For tabletop use:
a.) Plug the six foot line cord into the phone jack marked TEL
LINE.
b.) Plug the other end of the line cord into the wall jack.
To mount on a wall:
a.) Remove the mounting
wedge from the bottom of
the base by placing your
thumb at the top of the
arrow on the mounting
wedge and pressing down
in the direction of the
arrow.
b.) Turn the wedge around and place it over the lower portion
of the base. Reinstall the wedge by placing your thumb over
the arrow and by pressing downwards and backwards until
it snaps into place.
c.) Plug the five inch line cord into the phone jack marked TEL
LINE.
d.) Plug the other end of the line cord into the wall jack.
