CHOOSING A LOCATION
You can use your tel ephone as a desk
phone, mount it on a standard wall plate,
or mount it directly on a wall. Select a location that is near the telephone line
jack(s) and an easi ly ac cess ible A C out let
To take full advantage of many of the
ET-469’s features (l ike conference calling) you must have two telephone lines
with separate phone numbers. If you
have only one phone l ine , yo u ca n orde r
a second line from your local phone
company.
You can use a two- line jack (RJ14C or
RJ14W for a wall plate) that contains
both lines, or you can use a separate
single-line jack (RJ11C) for each line.
:
Notes
• The line that connects the phone
jack to the telepho ne company wiring must be twisted-pair cable. Otherwise, you might experience
interference (cro sstalk) b etween the
two phone lines.
• Your telephone connects directly to
a modular telephone line jack. If
your telephone wiring does not have
a modular jack, you can up date the
wiring yourself using jacks and
adapters available at your local
RadioShack store, or have the telephone company update the wiring
for you.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems o n the phone line, the
phone company can t emporar ily discon tinue your service. If this happens, the
phone company attempts to notify you in
advance. If advance notice i s not prac tical, the phone compan y notifies you as
soon as possible and advises you of
your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lin es, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
operation of this telephone. The telephone company notifies you of these
changes in advance, so you can take
the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.
LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in protection
circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in teleph one li ne an d po wer
line current. These protection circuits
meet or exceed the FCC requireme nts.
However, lightning striking the telephone or power lines can damage your
telephone.
Lightning damage is not c ommon. Nevertheless, if y ou live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibil ity of damage.
