INTRODUCTION

Digital Spread Spectrum Technology utilizes a “wider frequency

band” vs. a “single narrow band” used in standard digital trans­missions. The result is a more secure conversation with the clarity of
digital sound, extended range, and minimal interference from other
cordless phones.

Random Code

65,000 codes for the handset and base.

These features enhance your phone's security and also prevent
unauthorized calls as a result of your phone being activated by
other equipment.

Direct wall mounting

▼

If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone
directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:

Select a location away from electrical cables, pipes, or other items

•

behind the mounting location. Inserting screws into areas such as
this can be hazardous.
Try to mount your phone within 10 - 15 feet of a working phone

•

jack in order to avoid excessive cord lengths. Remember, you are not
mounting to a wall plate with a built in phone jack.
If the selected mounting area has no wooden support beams directly

•

behind it, you will need the appropriate anchoring devices in order
for the wall to properly support your phone.

1) Insert two mounting screws into
the wall, with their appropriate
anchoring device, 3-15/16 inches
apart. Allow about 3/16 of an inch
between the wall and screw heads
for mounting the phone.

INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING

!

Be careful not to insert the
mounting screws into
possible electrical hazards
such as cables, wiring,
or pipes.

2) Remove the mounting adapter
from the notches at the top of
the base.

3) Rotate the mounting adapter
180° and snap it into place
at the bottom of the base.

4) Plug the AC adapter cord into the 10 V DC input jack on the back of
the base.

molded wiring channel, then wrap it
around the strain relief notch. Plug
the AC adapter into a standard 120V
AC wall outlet.

6) Plug one end of the long telephone
cord into the

TEL LINE jack on the

back of the base, then plug the
other end into a standard
telephone jack.
