READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

We have designed your telephone 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 phone 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 phones might not ring.  In rural areas, a total REN of three
might impair ringer operation.

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. Both
numbers are shown 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

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

CHOOSING A LOCATION

You can use your phone as a desk phone, mount it on a standard wall plate,
or mount it directly on the wall using two screws.

Choose a location that is out of the way of normal activities and near the
appropriate phone jack.  For more information about the phone jack, see
"Connecting to the Phone Line", see below.

MOUNTING DIRECTLY ON A WALL

If you plan to mount the phone on a wall without using a wall plate, do the
following:

1.  Drill two holes 3 15/16 inches (100 mm) apart.

2.  Thread a screw (not supplied) into each hole, letting the head extend
    3/16 inch (5 mm) from the wall.

CONNECTING TO THE PHONE LINE

The mounting method you use determines how you connect the phone to the
phone line.

Follow the instructions for the type of mounting you've chosen.

Desk or Direct-Wall Mounting

To use both phone lines, you must have two lines with separate phone
numbers.

You can use a two-line jack (RJ14C) that contains both lines, or you can
use a separate single-line jack (RJ11C) for each line.  If you use two
single-line jacks, you must connect the lines with a coupler (Radio Shack
Cat. No. 279-401).

If you have only one phone line, order a second line from your local phone
company.

NOTES:  The line that connects the phone jack to the telephone company
        wiring must be twisted-pair cable.  Otherwise, you might experience
        interference (crosstalk) between the two phone lines.

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

        The telephone company will charge you for the installation of
        necessary jacks.  The telephone company will ask you for the USOC
        number of the jack to be installed.  This number is RJ14C or RJ11C
        for a desk or direct wall mounting.

To connect the phone to the phone line:

1.  Plug the supplied flat modular cord into the modular jack on the bottom
    of the phone.

2.  Guide the phone cord through the groove next to the jack on the bottom
    of the phone.

3.  Plug the other end of the cord into the two-line phone jack or coupler.

4.  If you are mounting the phone on a wall, align the keyhole slots with
    the mounting screws and slide the phone downward.

Wall-Plate Mounting

To use both phone lines, the wall plate must have a two-line jack (RJ14W)
and you must have two phone lines with separate phone numbers.

If you have only one phone line, order a second line from your local phone
company.

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

        The telephone company will charge you for the installation of
        necessary jacks.  The telephone company will ask you for the USOC
        number of the jack to be installed.  This number is RJ14W for a
        wall-plate mounting.

To connect the phone to the phone line:

1.  Plug one end of a short modular cord (Cat. No. 279-390 not supplied)
    into the modular jack on the back of the phone.

2.  Guide the cord through the groove next to the jack on the bottom of the
    phone.  Put any excess cord in the opening on the bottom of the phone.

3.  Plug the other end of the cord into the phone line jack.

4.  Align the phone's keyhole slots with the wall plate studs and slide
    the phone downward.

CONNECTING THE HANDSET CORD

Plug one end of the coiled cord into the jack on the side of the phone's
base.  Plug the other end into the jack on the handset.

ROTATING THE HANDSET HOLDER

If you are mounting the phone on a wall or wall plate, turn the handset
holder so it holds the handset in place.  To do this, slide the handset
holder out of its grooves.  Then turn the holder one half turn and slide it
back into the grooves.
