							INSTALLATION 
Connecting the HoTelephone (Models 3910s and 3810X) 
Connecting this HoTelephone to a telephone company line must be 
through a universal service order code (USOC) outlet jack. The 
USOC jack code numbers are: 
l Single-line desk telephone = RJl 1 C 
l Single-line wall telephone = RJl 1 W 
If the installation site doesn’t have the proper jack(s) and inside 
wiring, it is the user or installer’s responsibility to arrange for their 
installation. The correct outlet jack for this equipment is an in- 
dustry-standard type 625A2-6 jack wired per the USOC jack code 
number. 
Local telephone company regulations may not permit connections 
to party lines and coin lines by anyone except the telephone operat- 
ing company. 
Preparing the HoTelephone for Wall Mounting 
This telephone is shipped from the factory configured for desk use. 
To convert from a standard desk model to one that can be hung on 
the wall, follow the procedure outlined below. 
1. Disconnect line cord from telephone. 
2. Turn telephone over to expose lower housing. 
(1 
The telephone circuitry is sensitive to static 
electricity discharge. Be sure that your body 
and the work place are properly grounded to 
avoid any static electricity discharge while 
step 3 is being performed. 
3. Remove screws that attach lower housing to upper housing. 
Carefully separate lower and upper housings making sure 
not to disconnect wiring between the two housings. 
4. This telephone is equipped with a data/auxiliary port. 
l Remove hole cover from new opening that auxiliary jack 
is to occupy.

vacated.

5. Snap tab out of opening in bottom of lower housing. Insert 
into handset cradle to create a wall-mounting hook for the 
handset (Figure 1). 
6. Carefully reverse lower housing end-for-end (rotate it 180 
degrees). Do not disturb any internal wiring during this 
process. 
7. Refasten lower housing to upper housing. 
l Make sure that all wires are clear. 
l Do not over-tighten screws when reinstalling lower 
housing. 
8. Route line cord through appropriate channel on lower 
housing, and reconnect it to telephone. A short line cord 
can be substituted for the standard supplied one if desired. 
Wall Mounting the HoTelephone 
Mount the telephone directly on the wall using two #lO panhead 
screws (obtained locally), or mount it on a wall jack cover plate. 
If 
you are using a wall jack cover plate, an AT&T type 630B wall 
plate is recommended for best results. 
1. If #lO screws are used, thread them into the wall within 
Winch of the surface. Refer to Figure 1 for the spacing 
dimensions. 
2. Position the keyhole-shaped holes in the bottom of the 
telephone over the #lO screws or the cover plate studs. 
Slide the telephone down until a slight click is felt. 
3. To remove the telephone, lift to unsnap both screws or studs 
from the bottom housing, and then lift it away from the 
wall.
