INSTALLATION

MOUNTING THE PHONE

You can place the TAD-725’s base on a

desk or table, mount it on a standard

wall plate, or mount it directly on a wall.

Choose a location that is:

• near an AC outlet

• near a modular telephone line jack

• out of the way of normal activities

• away from electrical machinery,

electrical appliances, metal walls or

filing cabinets, wireless intercoms,

alarms, and room monitors

• away from other cordless phones

The base’s location affects the phone’s

range. If you have a choice of several lo-

cations, try each to see which provides

the best performance.

Caution: You must use a Class 2

power source that supplies 9

volts DC and delivers at least 350 mA.

Its center tip must be set to positive and

its plug must fit the TAD-725's

jack. The supplied AC adapter meets

these specifications. Using an adapter

that does not meet these specifications

could damage the TAD-725 or the

adapter.

Notes:

• Your telephone connects directly to

a modular telephone line jack. If

your phone line jack is not a modu-

lar jack, you can update the wiring

yourself, using jacks and adapters

available at your local RadioShack

store. Or, you can let the phone

company update the wiring for you.

• The USOC number of the jack to be

installed is RJ11C (RJ11W for a wall

plate).

On a Desk Top

1. Plug one end of the supplied long

modular cord into the

TEL LINE

jack

on the back of the base.

2. Plug the modular cord’s other end

into a modular telephone line jack.

3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s

barrel plug into the

DC IN 9V

jack on

the back of the base.

4. Route the adapter’s cord through

the strain relief slot on the bottom of

the base.
