In the unlikely event that your phone causes problems on the phone line, the phone company can temporarily discontinue your service. If this happens, the phone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the phone company notifies you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of this telephone. The telephone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take the necessary Steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.

Your phone might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To determine whether your phone is causing the interference, turn off your phone. If the interference goes away, your phone is causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by:

•moving your phone away from the receiver

•connecting your phone to an AC outlet that is on a different electrical circuit from the receiver

•contacting your local RadioShack store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your phone. ±ý

Your telephone has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage from surges in telephone line and power line current. These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the telephone or power lines can damage your telephone.

Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your phone when storms approach to reduce the possibility of damage.

Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventilation, ensure reliable operation, and protect from overheating. Do not block or cover these openings, and do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless it provides proper ventilation as specified by the manufacturer.

Heat — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Power Sources — Operate this product using only the power source indicated on its marking label. If you are not sure of your home's power type, consult your product dealer or local power company.

Polarization — This product is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit in the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you cannot insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn't fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. If you need an extension, use a polarized cord.

Power-Cord Protection — Route power-supply cords so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Objects and Liquids — Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings, as they

may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

Servicing — Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

•When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

•If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the product.

•If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

•If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.

•If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

•When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Lightning — Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm, as there might be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

Gas Leak — Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

Cordless phones such as this one require AC power to operate. When the AC power is off, you cannot dial out or receive incoming calls using your phone. To be safe, you should also have a phone that does not need AC power to operate (not a cordless phone) so you can still make and receive calls if there is an AC power failure.

When AC power is lost, the phone loses the security access-protection code connection between the base and the handset. When power is restored, put the handset on the base briefly to restore this connection.

To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons, read and follow these instructions.

•Use only the required size and type of batteries.

•Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They can explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

•Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive, can cause damage to the eyes or skin, and can be toxic if swallowed.

•Be careful when handling batteries in order not to short them with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor can overheat and cause burns.

•Charge the batteries provided with or identified for use with this product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.

•Observe proper polarity orientation between the batteries and battery charger.

•Do not mix old and new batteries in this product.

•Do not mix batteries of different sizes or from different manufacturers in this product.

We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations and you can connect it to most phone lines. However, each device that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the line. We refer to this power draw as the phone’s ringer

equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of your phone.

If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than five (three in rural areas), your phones might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove one of the devices from the line.

The digital answering system stores up to 16 minutes of messages on a computer chip and records each message’s day and time. This gives you advanced capabilities over tape-based answering machines:

•You can delete individual messages and save the rest.

•There are no tapes to bother with and no tape mechanisms to wear out.

The remote operation feature lets you operate your answering system from a touch-tone phone (or from a rotary phone with a pocket tone dialer).

You must use a

!Class 2 power

source that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 350 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the phone's DC IN 9V jack. The supplied adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the phone or the adapter.

•Always connect the AC adapter to the phone before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the phone.

•away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal walls or filing cabinets, wireless intercoms, alarms, and room monitors

•away from other cordless phones

You can try different locations to see which provides the best performance. .#

Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If your telephone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update the wiring yourself using jacks and adapters (available at your local RadioShack store or online at RadioShack.com), or have the telephone company update the wiring for you. You must use compatible modular jacks that are compliant with Part 68 of FCC Rules. The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (RJ11W for a wall plate).
