INSTALLATION
SELECTING A
LOCATION
You can place the TAD-1017’s base
on a desk or table, or mount it on a
wall. Select a location that is:
• Near an AC outlet
• Near a telephone line jack
• Away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, and metal
walls or filing cabinets
• Away from wireless intercoms,
alarms, room monitors, and other
cordless telephones
The base’s location affects the
phone’s range. If you have a choice of
several locations, try each to see
which provides the best performance.
Caution:
The supplied RadioShack
adapter is designed specifically for
your TAD-1017. Use only the supplied
adapter.
Notes:
• Your telephone connects directly
to a modular telephone line jack. If
your phone line jack is not a mod-
ular jack, you can update the wir-
ing 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 if
you want to mount the phone on a
wall plate).
Placing the Base on a
Desk Top
Follow these steps when you place the
base on a desk, shelf, or table.
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 phone line jack.
3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug into the
DC IN 9V
jack
on the back of the base.
