• If your cigarette-lighter socket or power outlet
remains on when the vehicle is turned off,
and you plan to leave your vehicle for more
than a week, unplug the speakerphone to
prevent excessive battery discharge and
difficulty starting your vehicle.

• Be sure to unplug the speakerphone before
starting the vehicle, or you may cause it to
lockup.

ý

Always wear your seat belt. Never place a
phone where it could damage or interfere with
the operation of any passive safety device
(airbags or seat belts).

• If your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket is
difficult to reach, outlet adapters are
available at your local RadioShack store or
online at RadioShack.com.

• You might have to turn the ignition key to
Accessory or ON to power the cigarette­lighter socket.

• Replacement microphones (RSU 12294229)
are available through your local RadioShack
store.

• Anytime the indicator is lit, power is on and
the phone’s battery is charging.

• To avoid feedback, position the microphone
so it is not directly in line with the speaker.
You might need to turn the speaker slightly.

Changing Modes

• Disconnecting and reconnecting the cord
does not change the mode.

• If you are unable to make a call in handsfree
mode, contact your phone store to update
the phone’s software.

You can control the speakerphone’s volume
from your wireless phone or the rotary
volume control on the speakerphone. Keep
the volume as lo w as po ss ible to comfortably
hear the other party. I f the volum e is too h igh,

the other party might hear as echo. Reduce
the volume to eliminate any echo.

Adjust the speakerphone’s volume to a
comfortable level by moving the volume
control toward the POWER indicator (lou der),
or away from the POWER indicator (softer).

On some models of Sanyo phones, the
volume of the tones generated when
pressing t he buttons on the key pad cannot
by controlled by the phone. If the tones are
too loud, reduce the volume on the
speakerphone. Once you complete dialing,
you might have to readjust the volume to a
comfortable listening level.

Wireless phones use radio waves to
accommodate many users on a radio
network. Radio communications do not
always provide the same voice quality and
reliability as your land-line phone.

When using your wireless phone, you may
experience dropped calls, crosstalk, echo,
speech distortion, or other voice quality
degradation. These distortions are generally
caused by the wireless network.

Your Handsfree Speakerphone Kit cannot
improve the ph one’s perform ance. Varia tions
in voice quality that you experience in the
privacy mode will be heard with the speaker
and may be louder because they are
amplified.

If you are experiencing a badly distorted call,
check to see that the phone has a good
signal level, since low signal levels are
typically associ ate d w i th poo r voice quality. I f
your signal level is good and you are still
experiencing po or v oi ce qu ali t y, ha ng up and
redial the number to get a different channel.
