You might prefer a longer cord for the
handset. Your local RadioShack store
has a wide selection of telephone acces-
sories, including longer coiled handset
cords.
CONNECTING AN
OPTIONAL AC ADAPTER
Your telephone operates from telephone
line power. In some areas, however, the
telephone line might not provide enough
power to operate all of your telephone’s
features. If the speakerphone’s volume
is too low, even with the volume control
set to its highest setting, or if the speak-
erphone does not work, connect an AC
adapter (RadioShack Cat. No. 273-
1454).
Cautions:
• The recommended adapter supplies
6 volts DC, delivers at least 150 mil-
liamps, and has a barrel plug which
properly fits the phone’s
DC 6V jack.
Using an adapter that does not meet
these specifications might damage
the phone or the adapter.
• To prevent damage to the adapter
and the telephone, always plug the
adapter into the telephone before
you plug it into the AC outlet. Always
unplug the AC adapter from the AC
outlet first, then unplug the barrel
plug from the phone.
1. Plug the adapter’s barrel plug into
the DC 6V jack on the back of the
telephone.
2. Route the adapter cable through the
strain relief slot on the bottom of the
telephone.
3. Plug the other end of the adapter in-
to a standard AC outlet.
