ET-166 20 Memory Telephone
(430-0852)                 Installation               Faxback Doc. # 31250

The telephone connects directly to a modular telephone line jack.  Choose
a location for the phone that is near a modular phone jack and away from
normal activities.  You can place it on a desk or mount it directly on a
wall or on a wall plate.

If your telephone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update the
wiring yourself.  Radio Shack stores sell the necessary wall jacks and
adapters to convert older wiring methods to modular wiring.

Or, you can have the telephone company update your telephone wiring for
you.

NOTES:  The telephone company charges to install the necessary jacks.

        The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C for a base-
        board jack, or RJ11W for a wall jack.

DESKTOP INSTALLATION

the detachable bracket is installed so the phone tilts toward you when
the phone is facing you on a flat surface.

If the phone tilts opposite to the way you want:

- Press down the tabs on the bracket's wider side and pull it out.

- Turn the bracket clockwise 180 degrees and reinsert the tabs on its
  narrower side into the upper middle set of slots on the back of the
  phone.

- Press down until the bracket snaps in place.

3.  Place the phone on a desk.

4.  See "Connecting and Using the Handset," to connect the handset cord.

    the wall.

    NOTE:  Make sure the screw heads fit the phone's keyhole slots.

3.  Plug one end of the supplied long modular phone cord into the TEL
    LINE jack on top of the phone.

CONNECTING AND USING THE HANDSET

1.  Plug one end of the supplied coiled cord into the modular jack on the
    phone's left side.

   NOTE:  Radio Shack stores sell longer coiled handset cords, which are
          especially useful when you wall-mount the phone.

2.  Plug the other end into the modular jack on the handset.

3.  If you installed the phone on a desk, simply place the handset on
    the cradle.

    If you mounted the phone on a wall plate or directly on a wall, slide
