900 MHz Digital Cordless Speakerphone with Dual Keypads (430-1085) INSTALLATION Faxback Doc. # 32936 READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION Your telephone conforms to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each device you connect to the phone line draws power from the phone line. We refer to this power draw as the device's ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the label on the base's back. If you are using more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the REN's. 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 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 on the label on the base's back. You must not connect your phone to any of the following: Coin-operated systems. Party-line systems. Most electronic key phone systems. NOTE: Your telephone operates on standard radio frequencies, as allocated by the FCC. Even though the access protection code prevents unauthorized use of your home line, it is possible for other radio units operating on similar frequencies within a certain area to unintentionally intercept your conversations and/or cause interference. This lack of privacy can occur with any cordless phone. INSTALLATION SELECTING A LOCATION You can set the ET-910's base on a flat surface (such as a desktop or counter-top), mount it on a modular jack wall plate, or mount it directly on the wall. 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. Select a location that is: Near an AC outlet. Near a telephone line jack. Away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, and metal walls or filing cabinets. Away from wireless intercoms, alarms, and room monitors. If the phone line jack is not a modular jack, you must update the wiring. You can convert 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. NOTES: The phone company charges for the installation of the necessary jacks. The USOC number of the baseboard jack to be installed is RJ11C. After you mount the phone, you must install the battery pack and charge it for 24 hours before you use it the first time. See "Preparation", on Faxback Doc. # 32937. PLACING THE BASE ON A DESKTOP 1. Plug one end of the supplied 7-foot modular cord into the TO TEL LINE jack on the back of the ET-910's base. 2. Plug the modular cord's other end into a modular phone line jack. 3. Plug the ET-910's AC cord into a standard AC outlet. 4. For the best reception, adjust the base's antenna so it stands straight up. MOUNTING THE BASE ON A WALL Using the supplied mounting bracket, you can mount the ET-910's base on a phone jack wall plate or directly on the wall. To prepare the bracket for mounting twist off the tabs attached to the center of the bracket and press them securely into the holes on the narrow end or the bracket. Mounting on a Wall Plate 1. Press the ET-910's AC cord under the recessed clip directly below it on the bottom of the phone. 2. Plug one end of the supplied 7-inch modular cord into the TO TEL LINE jack, then press the cord under the other recessed clip on the bottom of the phone. 3. Insert the tabs on the supplied mounting bracket into the slots on the base's bottom. Then press the bracket down until it snaps into place. 4. Press the AC cord into the top and bottom grooves on the left side of the bracket, press the modular cord into the center groove on the right side of the bracket, then plug the modular cord into the modular phone jack. 5. Line up the keyhole slots on the bracket with the studs on the wall plate, then slide the base down onto the wall plate until it is secure. 6. Press up on the handset holder to remove it, turn it over so its tabbed edge faces up, then press it back down into its slot on the base. 7. Plug the ET-910's AC cord into a standard AC outlet. 8. For the best reception, adjust the base's antenna so it stands straight up. NOTE: If you want to remove the supplied bracket after attaching it, simply press in the tab on each side of the bracket and lift the bracket away from the base. Mounting Directly on the Wall Using a drill (not supplied) and the supplied screws and spacers, you can easily mount your ET-910 directly on the wall. 1. At the desired mounting location, drill two holes 3 15/16 inches apart, one above the other. 2. Place a spacer over each screw, then thread a screw into each wall hole until the screw's head extends about 1/4 inch from the wall. 3. Press the ET-910's AC cord under the recessed clip directly below it on the bottom of the phone. 4. Plug one end of the supplied 7-foot modular cord into the TO TEL LINE jack, then press the cord under the other recessed clip on the bottom of the phone. 5.
