ET-507 Cordless Phone (430-1012) Installation Faxback Doc. # 17306 SELECTING A LOCATION You can place the phone on a desk or mount it on a wall. Select a location that meets these requirements: 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 filing cabinets. Away from wireless intercoms, alarms, and room monitors. The case's location affects the phone's range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each one to see which one 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 is RJ11C for a baseboard jack or RJ11W for a wall jack. PLACING THE BASE ON A DESK TOP Follow these steps to place the base on a desk, shelf, or table. 1. Plug the end of the supplied 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.

CAUTION: You must use a class II, 120V AC/12V DC adapter that delivers at least 200 milliamps. Its plug must correctly fit the phone's DC 12V jack. The supplied adapter meets these requirements.
