Where to place your base unit
The base unit requires main power and a constant telephone connection and should be easily accessible. Please avoid the following — the base unit should not be placed:
• In a damp location, such as a bathroom.
• Close to any heat source, such as microwave ovens, which can reduce call quality.
1-Find the main home landline phone (wall jack)
• We recommend placing the base unit close to the main landline telephone wall jack using the provided 6-foot phone cord.
2-Identify the telephone ports
Locate the telephone port on both the base unit and the landline phone.
• The port on the base unit is labeled “Line in”.
• The port on the landline phone is usually labeled “Line” or “Tel”.
3-Connect the base unit
• Remove the phone line from the home telephone. (The other end of the phone line should remain connected to the telephone port in the wall.)
• Plug the line you just removed into “Line in” on the back of the base unit.
4-Connect the landline phone
• Plug the phone line we provided into the “To phone” on the back of the base unit.
• Plug the other end of the phone line we provided into the home phone.
Note: The AC power adapter should already be installed. If the power cord is not already connected to the base unit, plug it into the back of the base unit.
5-Turn the base unit on
• Push the red power button on back of base unit.
• If the unit is installed correctly, the info button will be green (This may take a few seconds).
