INSTALLATION
Selecting a Location
You can place the phone on a desktop,
shelf, or table. Select a location that is:
• near an easily accessible AC
outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, metal walls,
filing cabinets, wireless intercoms,
security 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.
Your telephone connects directly to a
modular telephone line jack. If your
telephone wiring does not have a
modular jack, you can update the
wiring yourself using jacks and
adapters (available at your local
RadioShack store), or have the
telephone company update the wiring
for you. You must use compatible
modular jacks that are compliant with
Part 68 of
FCC Rules.
Note: The USOC number of the jack to
be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a
wall plate jack).
Using AC Power
Power the headset telephone using
the supplied 12V, 200mA AC/DC
adapter.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
power source that sup-
plies 12V DC and deliv-
ers at least 200mA. Its plug must
fit the telephone's
DC 12V 200mA
jack. The supplied adapter meets
these specifications. Using an
adapter that does not meet these
specifications could damage the
telephone or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to
the telephone before you connect
it to AC power. When you finish,
disconnect the adapter from AC
power before you disconnect it
from the telephone.
Follow these steps to connect the
adapter to the telephone.
1. Plug the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug into the
DC 12V 200mA
jack on the back of the base.
2. Plug the adapter into a standard
AC outlet.
Connecting the Phone
Plug one end of the supplied modular
cord into the
TEL.LINE
jack on the back
of the base.
