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 device that you connect to
the phone line draws power from the line.  We refer to this power draw as
the device's ringer equivalence number, or REN.  The REN is shown on the
bottom of your phone.

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 five, your phone might not ring.
In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer operation.  If
ringer operation.  If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from
the line.

FCC STATEMENT

This telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules.  You must, upon request,
provide the FCC Registration Number and the REN to your phone company. 
These numbers are located on the bottom of your phone.

NOTE:  You must not connect your phone to any of the following.

       Coin-operated systems

       Party-line systems

       Most electronic key phone systems

SELECTING A MOUNTING LOCATION

You can mount the base on a wall plate or directly on a wall.  Or, you can
place it on a desk, shelf, or table.  Select a location that is:

    Near a AC outlet

    Near a telephone line jack

    Out of the way of normal activities

    Away from computers, remote control toys, wireless intercoms, alarms
    and room monitors, fluorescent lights, electrical machinery, electrical
    appliances, metal walls, filing cabinets, and other large metal
    objects.

For the best reception, you should be able to fully extend the base's
antenna and place it in a vertical position.

The base's location affects the phone's range.  If you have a choice of
several locations, try each to see which one provides the best performance.

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 of the jack to be installed is RJ11C for a baseboard
    jack and RJ11W for a wallplate jack.

PLACING THE BASE ON A DESKTOP

Follow these steps to place the base on a desk, shelf, or table.

1.  Plug one end of the supplied modular 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.  Insert the supplied AC adapter's barrel plug into the 12V DC jack on
    the back of the base.

4.  Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

CAUTION:  You must use a 120V AC/12V DC adapter that delivers at least 200
          milliamps.  Its plug must correctly fit the phone's 12V DC jack.
          The supplied adapter meets these requirements.  Using an adapter
          that does not meet these requirements could damage the phone
          or the adapter.
