INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important
guidelines you should consider:
The location should be close to both
a phone jack and a power outlet.
Keep the base and handset away from
sources of electrical noise such as
motors and fluorescent lighting.
Be sure there is sufficient space to rotate
the base antenna fully vertical.
The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop or
mounted on a standard wall plate.
You should charge the battery in your handset for 15-20 hours
before connecting the phone line.
Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords are
fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into this type of jack. If
you do not have a modular phone jack, contact your local telephone
company for information about their installation.
Connecting the Telephone Cords
Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cord.
Caution!
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone
line has been disconnected.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
