INSTALLATION
SELECTING A
LOCATION
You can set the ET-910’s base on a
flat surface (such as a desktop or
counter-top), mount it on a modular
jack wall plate, or mount it directly on
the wall. The base’s location affects
the phone’s range. If you have a
choice of several locations, try each
to see which one provides the best
performance.
Select a location that is:
• Near an AC outlet
• Near a telephone line jack
• Away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, and metal
walls or filing cabinets
• Away from wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
If the phone line jack is not a modular
jack, you must update the wiring. You
can convert the wiring yourself, using
jacks and adapters available at your
local Radio Shack store. Or, you can
let the phone company update the
wiring for you.
Notes:
• The phone company charges for
the installation of the necessary
jacks.
• The USOC number of the base-
board jack to be installed is
RJ11C.
• After you mount the phone, you
must install the battery pack and
charge it for 24 hours before you
use it the first time. See “Prepa-
ration” on Page 12.
PLACING THE BASE ON
A DESKTOP
1. Plug one end of the supplied 7-
foot modular cord into the TO
TEL LINE jack on the back of the
ET-910’s base.
2. Plug the modular cord’s other
end into a modular phone line
jack.
3. Plug the ET-910’s AC cord into a
standard AC outlet.
4. For the best reception, adjust
the base’s antenna so it stands
straight up.
