Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important
guidelines you should consider:
●
The location should be close to both
a phone jack and a power outlet.
●
Keep the base and handset away from
sources of electrical noise such as
motors and fluorescent lighting.
●
You should charge the battery in your handset for 14
hours before connecting the phone line.
●
Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords are
fitted with a plastic connector which plugs into this type of jack. If you do not
have a modular phone jack, contact your local telephone company for
information about their installation.
More Than One Phone
Each telephone device that you connect draws power from the phone line. We refer
to the power drawn as the device’s Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). The REN is
shown at the bottom part of your telephone. If you are using more than one phone
or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than 3, your
phones might not ring.
During a power failure, this telephone will not operate.
Please ensure that a separate phone, not dependent on local
power, is available for emergencies.
