risk of fire or electric shock.
9. Never push objects of any kind into this
product through cabinet slots as they
may touch dangerous voltage points
or short out parts that could result in a
risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the product.
10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do
not disassemble this product, but take
it to a qualified serviceman when
service or repair work is required.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or
other risks. Incorrect reassembly can
cause electric shock when the tele

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
EN
• Install the wall base unit into an electrical outlet that is near a telephone (modular) jack.
• The Spacemaker® is a cordless speakerphone with radio and answering machine. Before
mounting it under a cabinet, check if the cordless speakerphone and the radio work well at
the selected location first, also check the orientation of the power converter cord for the best
FM radio reception.
• Avoid sources of noise, such as a window by a busy street, and electrical noise, such as motors,
microwave ovens and fluorescent lighting.
• Avoid heat sources, such as heating air ducts, heating appliances, radiators, and direct sunlight.
• Avoid areas of excessive moisture or extremely low temperature.
• Avoid dusty locations.
• Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.
TELEPHONE JACK REQUIREMENTS
To use this phone, you need an RJ11C type modular telephone jack, which
might look like the one pictured here, installed in your home. If you don ’t
have a modular jack, call your local phone company to find out how to
get one installed.

BEFORE MOUNTING
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, do not place any heating or cooking product
beneath this unit.
• Select a location to mount the Spacemaker®
• Make sure that there is an electrical outlet nearby
• Follow the section of Installing the Phone and Telephone Operation to check if the phone works
well at the selected location
• Follow the section of Radio Operation to check if the radio works well at the selected location
• Disconnect the AC power supply to the Spacemaker®
when mounting.
Empty the contents of the cabinet under which the unit is to be mounted and thoroughly clean the
underside to remove any greasy residue. We recommend the unit be mounted at the front edge of
the cabinet.
EN
IMPORTANT: For secure mounting, the screws must go into the unit to a depth of at least 3/8". If the
overall length from the bottom of the cabinet shelf to the bottom of the overhang is more than 5/8",
you will need to use a wood shim. The shim can be located between the cabinet shelf bottom and
the spacers. Make sure the wood is at least as thick as the excess over 5/8". If a shim is necessary,
longer screws (available at most local hardware stores) are required.

Cut out the template on the line indicated. The template size and screw hole positions are identical
to the top of the unit.
EN
3/8” Minimum
MOUNTING PROCEDURE
1. If your cabinet does not have an overhang:
a) Position the template in the desired location on the underside of the cabinet, flush with the
front edge of the cabinet.
b) Tape the template in place and go to step 2.
Front edge of cabinet
If your cabinet has an overhang:
a) Measure the thickness of the overhang.
b) Fold the front of the template downward along the printed guideline closest to the thickness
of your cabinet.
c) Tape folded-down portion to backside of the overhang, and tape the template to the cabinet
underside.

Mounting template
Fold template on
dotted line
NOTE: If your cabinet has glue blocks or other obstructions, cut out corresponding areas
on the template to clear them. Do not cut out or cut through the screw holes in the
template.
CAUTION: We recommend safety glasses be worn while drilling screw holes to
prevent the possibility of eye injury.
2. Drill four 1/4" diameter holes through the underside of the cabinet.
TIP: On wooden cabinets you may want to mark and start the drill holes with a nail or an
awl. Be sure to hold the drill very firmly against the cabinet.
Use masking tape above the hole locations on the inside of the cabinet shelf to reduce
splintering. If installing the unit under a wood cabinet, you may want to countersink the drilled
hole from the INSIDE of the cabinet. This will eliminate the use of washers and allow the screw
head to be flush with the floor of your cabinet. If you cannot countersink the holes, use the
supplied washers.
3. Remove the template and drill shavings from inside and underneath the cabinet.
4. If your cabinet does NOT have an overhang, go to Step 5.
If your cabinet HAS an overhang, select the spacer or combination of spacers, that is equal to
the length of the overhang, plus 5/8". The added 5/8" is to insure adequate space to remove the
handset.

5. Insert screws from the INSIDE of the cabinet. If you did not countersink the drilled holes,
EN
position the washers, flat side down, and place the screws in the holes.
If your cabinet does not have an overhang, go to Step 7.
6. Hold the screw heads down while you push the selected spacers onto the screws under the
cabinet. Be sure to push spacers until they are firmly against the cabinet bottom and/or fully
nested (if more than one is used).
7. Align the unit under the screws. Hold the screw holes on the top of the unit against the
mounting screws and partially tighten the screws.
TIP: Do not fully tighten until all 4 screws are installed.
8. Extend the cord towards an electrical outlet and secure by using the cord hooks to hold the
cord out of the way. For a more attractive appearance, place the cord hooks at the back edge
of the cabinet (on or next to wall) directly over the electrical outlet to be used.
To attach cord hooks peel off the adhesive on the back of the hooks and attach to a clean, dry
surface on the underside of the cabinet or back wall.
