Preparation
MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can mount your telephone on a desktop,
on a standard wall plate, or directly on a wall.
Choose a location for the phone that is:
• not in the way of normal activities
• near a modular telephone line jack
Your telephone connects directly to a modu-
lar telephone line jack. If your telephone wir-
ing does not have a modular jack, you can
update the wiring yourself using jacks and
adapters (available at your local RadioShack
store), or have the telephone company up-
date the wiring for you. You must use com-
patible modular jacks that are compliant with
Part 68 of FCC Rules.
Note: The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate
jack).

cord into the TEL LINE jack on the back
of the phone.
2. Plug the other end of the modular cord

3. Place the phone on a flat surface such
as a desk, shelf, or table.

cord into the TEL LINE jack on the back
of the telephone.
