INSTALLATION
SELECTING A
LOCATION
You can place the phone on a desk top
or table, or mount it on a wall. Select a
location that is:
• near an AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, metal walls
or filing cabinets, wireless inter-
coms, alarms, and room monitors
• away from other cordless phones
The base's location affects the hand-
set's range. If you have a choice of
several locations, try each to see
which provides the best performance.
MOUNTING/CONNECTING
THE PHONE
To use both of the ET-598's lines, you
must connect it to two separate tele-
phone lines. Each of these lines must
have its own phone number. If you do
not have two telephone lines, contact
your phone company to get a second
line.
You can connect your telephone to a
2-line modular telephone jack using
the supplied 2-line modular cord.

Or, you can connect it to two separate
1-line modular telephone jacks using
the supplied 2-line modular cord and a
1-line modular cord (such as Ra-
dioShack Cat. No. 279-356, not sup-
plied).
Notes:
• Two-line and single-line modular
cords look alike but are wired dif-
ferently. To use the ET-598's two
lines, use only the supplied two-
line modular cord to connect to a
two-line modular jack.
• You can also use the ET-598 with
a single 1-line modular jack.
If your phone wiring does not have a
modular phone jack, you can:
• Update the wiring yourself, using
jacks and adapters available at
your local RadioShack store
• Have the phone company update
the wiring for you
Note: The USOC number of the jack to
be installed is RJ14C for a two-line
baseboard jack or RJ14W for a two-
line wall-plate jack.
Caution: The supplied RadioShack
adapter was designed specifically for
your ET-598. Use only the supplied
adapter.
