• The USOC number of the jack to

be installed is RJ11W for a wall
jack or RJ11C for a baseboard
jack.

Caution: You must use a 120 VAC/12
VDC adapter that delivers at least 200
milliamps. Its plug must correctly fit the
phone’s

12VDC

jack. The supplied

adapter meets these requirements.
Using an adapter that does not meet
these requirements could damage the
phone or the adapter.

Placing the Base on a Desk
Top

Follow these steps when you place the
base on a desk, shelf, or table.

1. Plug one end of the supplied mod-

ular cord into the

TEL. LINE

jack

on the back of the base.

2. Plug the modular cord’s other end

into a modular phone line jack.

3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s

barrel plug into the

12VDC

jack on

the back of the base.

4. Plug the adapter into a standard

AC outlet.

5. Place the handset upright over the

charging contacts on the top of
the base (see “Charging the Bat-
tery”).

Note: The phone will not charge if
you try to use the charging con-
tacts on the side of the base while
it is flat on a desk top.

6. Fully extend the base’s antenna

and place it in a vertical position.

Mounting the Base on a Wall
Plate

You need a short modular cord (such
as Radio Shack Cat. No. 279-390, not
supplied) and a standard wall plate for
this mounting method.

1. Plug one end of the short modular

cord into the

TEL. LINE

jack on the

back of the base.

2. Route the short cord downward

through the slot on the base’s bot-
tom and under the clips as shown.
