PREPARATION

Select a location for the TAD that is near
a modular telephone line jack and an AC
outlet, and is not in the way of normal
activities.
CONNECTING TO THE
TELEPHONE LINE
Notes:
• Your TAD connects directly to a
modular telephone line jack. If your
phone line jack is not a modular
jack, you can update the wiring
yourself, using jacks and adapters
available at your local RadioShack
store. Or, you can let the phone
company update the wiring for you.
• The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C.
Follow these steps to connect your TAD
to the telephone line and phone.
