READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations and you can
connect it to most phone lines.  However, each phone that you connect to
the telephone line draws power from the line.  The phone's ringer
equivalence number (REN), shown on the bottom of your phone, represents
this power draw.

If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the
RENs.  If the total is more than five, your phones might not ring.  In
rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer operation.  Check
with your local telephone company to be sure.

FCC STATEMENT

Your telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules.  At the telephone
company's request, you must provide the phone's FCC registration number
and REN.  These numbers are located on the bottom of the telephone.

NOTE:  You must not connect your telephone to: 

       Coin-operated systems 

       Party-line systems

       Most electronic key systems

This telephone has been tested and found to comply with all applicable UL 
standards. 

CONNECTING THE HANDSET CORD

Plug one end of the supplied coiled cord into the phone handset's jack.
Then plug the other end into the jack on the side of the phone.  Radio
Shack stores sell longer coiled handset cords that are especially useful
if you mount the telephone on a wall.

INSTALLING THE PHONE

You can use your phone as a desk phone, or mount it either directly to the
wall or on a wall plate.  Select a location that is near a modular
telephone jack.

NOTES:  If you do not have a modular phone jack, you can either update the
        wiring yourself or have the phone company update it for you.  Radio
        Shack stores sell the jacks and adapters necessary to convert from
        older wiring methods to modular wiring. 

        The telephone company can charge you for the installation of
        necessary jacks.  The telephone company will ask you for the USOC
        number of the jack to be installed.  The number is RJK11C (or
        RJK11W for a wall jack). 

Desk Phone Installation

To use your phone as a desk phone:

1.  Place the phone on a desk, table, or shelf.

2.  Plug one end of the supplied telephone cord into your phone's TEL LINK
    jack.  Then plug the other end into a modular phone jack.

Direct Wall Mounting

You need two screws (not supplied) that fit the phone's keyhole slots to
mount the phone directly on a wall.  Follow these steps:

1.  Drill two holes in the wall, one above the other and 3 15/16 inches 
    (100 mm) apart.  Thread the screws into the holes until the heads 
    extend about 1/8 inch (3mm) from the wall. 

2.  Plug one end of the supplied modular phone cord into the phone's TEL 
    LINE jack.  Route the modular cord through the strain relief slot on 
    the bottom of the phone. 

3.  Align the phone's keyhole slots with the screw heads and slide the 
    phone down. 

Wall Plate Mounting

You need a short modular cord, such as Cat. No. 279-390, to mount your
phone on a wall plate.  Follow these steps:

1.  Plug a short modular cord (not supplied) into the phone's TEL LINE
    jack.  Then plug the other end of the cord into the wall plate's
    modular phone jack.

2.  Align the phone's keyhole slots with the wall plate studs and slide the
    phone down.  Route the modular cord through the strain relief slot on
    the bottom of the phone so the cord ends up about midway down the 
    bottom of the phone.
