CONNECTING TO THE TELEPHONE LINE

You can use your phone as a desk-phone or as a wall-mounted phone.  Select
a location for your phone that is near a modular telephone jack and away
from normal activities.

NOTE:  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 you need.  The telephone
       company will charge you for the installation of the necessary jacks.
       The telephone company will ask you for the USOC number of the jack
       to be installed.  The number is RJ11C for a baseboard jack or RJ11W
       for a wall jack.

Deck-Top Connection

To use your phone as a desk phone, place the phone on a desk, table, or
shelf.  Plug one end of the supplied telephone cord into the jack on the
back of the phone.  Then, plug the other end into a modular phone jack.

Wall-Mounting Connection

Follow these steps to mount the phone directly on the wall.

1.  Insert the supplied bracket into the slots on the bottom of the phone.

2.  Drill two holes in the wall-one above the other 3 3/8 inches apart.
    Then thread screws (not supplied) into the holes until the heads extend
    about 1/8 inch from the wall.

3.  Plug one end of the supplied modular phone cord into the jack on the
    back of the phone.

4.  Plug the other end of the phone cord into a modular phone jack.

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

6.  Remove the lower handset holder by sliding it toward the switchhook.
    Rotate the holder and replace it so that you can hang the handset on
    the base.

    1. Pull Out
    2. Turn
    3. Re-Insert

    NOTE:  You can place the handset on the upper holder.  This gives you
           a convenient place to temporarily hang the handset without
           disconnecting the call.

Wall-Plate Connection

To mount the phone on a wall plate, you need a wall plate and a short
modular cord.  The cord is supplied and you can purchase a wall plate at
your local Radio Shack store.  Follow these steps to mount the phone on a
wall.

1.  Insert the supplied bracket into the slots on the bottom of the phone.

2.  If necessary, install the wall plate following its instructions.

3.  Plug the short modular cord into the jack on the back of the phone.

4.  Plug the other end of the phone cord into a modular phone jack.

5.  Align the phone's keyhole slots with the studs and slide the phone
    down.

6.  Remove the handset holder by sliding it toward the switchhook.  Rotate
    the holder and replace it so that you can hang the handset on the base.

NOTE:  You can place the handset on upper holder.  This gives you a
       convenient place to temporarily hang the handset without
       disconnecting the call.

CONNECTING THE HANDSET CORD

Plug one end of the supplied coiled cord into the jack on the handset.
Then, plug the cord's other end into the jack on the left side of the
phone.

Radio Shack stores sell longer handset cords.  A long cord is especially
useful if you mount the telephone on a wall.
