Setting up the base unit

Choosing the best location for the base unit

    Away from noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy
    traffic.

    Away from heat sources, such as radiators, airducts, and sunlight.

    Away from a microwave oven.

    Away from excessive moisture, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.

    Away from another cordless telephone.

    Near a central location.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

2.  Never install telephone jacks in wet location unless the jack is
    specifically designed for wet location.

3.  Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
    telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

4.  Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Connecting the base unit

See the next page and/or below if you want to hang the base unit on a wall.

1.  Connect the AC power adapter (supplied) to the DC IN 9V jack and to an
    AC outlet.

    When you connect the AC power adapter, the base unit takes about 10
    seconds to reset.

    Observe the message counter, and when it shows blinking "P", the base
    unit is ready for use.

    Connect the AC power adapter to a continuous power supply; otherwise,
    the battery pack being charged will have a shorter life.

    If your telephone outlet is not modular, contact your telephone service
    company for assistance.

2.  Plug one end of the long telephone line cord (supplied) into the TEL
    LINE jack, and the other end into a telephone outlet.

3.  Fully extend the antenna.  Make sure it points toward the ceiling.

    Note on the AC power adapter - Use only the AC power adapter supplied.
    Do not use any other AC power adapter.

    Polarity of the plug - Center tip ( + ), outside ( - ).

    If you have 2 phone lines on a single RJ-14 phone jack with 4 wires,
    the phone will only answer the first phone line on the center pair of
    wires.  Please consult your telephone company for rewiring if you need
    to answer the second phone line which uses the outer pair of wires.

Hanging the base unit on a wall

1.  Attach the AC power adapter cord and the short telephone line cord to
    the wall bracket.

    To mount the wall bracket directly on the wall, use the supplied
    screws.

2.  Hook the wall bracket to the wall plate and plug the telephone line
    cord into the telephone outlet.

3.  Insert the tabs on the top of the wall bracket into the base unit and
    press it so that the lower tabs on the wall bracket go into the base
    unit.  Then extend the antenna fully.

4.  Connect the AC power adapter and the telephone line cord. For details,
    see the "Connecting the base unit" section.

    If your telephone outlet is not modular, contact your telephone service
    company for assistance.
