IMPORTANT

!

• When AC power is lost, the
phone loses the security access­protection code connection
between the base and the hand­set. When power is restored, put
the handset on the base briefly
to restore this connection so you
can use the handset.

• Your phone operates on
standard radio frequencies as
allocated by the FCC.

• It is possible for other radio
units operating nearby on similar
frequencies to unintentionally
intercept your conversation or
cause interference. This possible
lack of privacy can occur with
any cordless phone.

Ô NOTES Ô

• 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
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 line that connects a two-line
phone jack to the phone
company wiring must be
twisted-pair cable. Otherwise,
you might hear interference
(crosstalk) between the two
lines.

• The line that connects a two-line

phone jack to the phone

you might hear interference

alarm equipment connected to
the telephone line, be sure that
installing the system does not
disable your alarm equipment. If
you have questions about what
will disable alarm equipment,
contact your telephone company
or a qualified installer.

• The USOC number of the two-

line jack to be installed is RJ14C
(RJ14W for a wall plate). The
USOC number of a single- line
jack is RJ11C.

INTRODUCTION

Cordless phones require AC power to
operate. When the power is off, you cannot
make or receive calls using your phone.
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.

!

INSTALLATION

Before using your phone, carefully peel the
protective film off the display. The film
protects the handset window during
shipment and is not necessary for use.

OUNTING THE PHONE

M

You can place the phone’s base on a desk
or table, or mount it on a standard wall plate
or 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 handset’s
range. If you have a choice of several
locations, try each to see which provides the
best performance.

Ô

Connecting to the Phone Lines

" CAUTION "

•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.

To take full advantage of the phone’s
capabilities, you must have two phone lines
with separate phone numbers. If you have
only one line, you can order a second from
your phone company.

You can connect the phone to the lines in
one of three ways:

• connect two lines through a two-line
modular phone jack

• connect two lines through two one-line
modular phone jack

• connect one line through a one-line
modular phone jack.

• If you connect the phone to a two-line
phone jack with a two-line cord, do not
connect a third line to the
jack or the phone will not operate
properly. Instead, you can connect
another phone device, such as a fax
machine or modem.

•To connect the phone to two one-line
phone jacks, plug one end of the
supplied long two-line modular cord
into

If you are not going to use your phone for an
extended period, disconnect the battery
pack. This increases the battery pack’s
usable life.

The supplied battery pack should last for
about a year. If the battery pack does not

Troubleshooting

39

Care

If you still have problems, disconnect the
phone. If other phones on the same line
work properly, the fault is in this phone or its
installation. Check the REN (See “FCC
Statement”). If you cannot find the problem,
take the phone to your local RadioShack
store for assistance.

CARE

Keep the phone dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry
immediately. Use and store the phone only
in normal temperature environments.
Handle the phone carefully; do not drop it.
Keep the phone away from dust and dirt,
and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally
to keep it looking new.

SERVICE AND REPAIR

If your phone is not performing as it should,
take it to your local RadioShack store for
assistance. To locate your nearest
RadioShack, use the store locator feature
on RadioShack's website
(www.radioshack.com), or call 1-800-The
Shack (843-7422) and follow the menu
options. Modifying or tampering with the
phone's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate its
warranty, and void your FCC authorization
to operate it.

FCC STATEMENT

Your telephone compiles with Part 68 of the
FCC Rules.Upon request, you must provide
the phone’s FCC registration number and
REN to your phone company. These
numbers are on the base unit.

Your phone is not intended to be used with
party-line systems. Connection to party line
service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the

state public utility commission, public

Ô NOTE Ô

You must not connect your
phone to:

• coin-operated systems

• most electronic key
telephone systems

service commission, or corporation
commission for information. Ô

We have designed your phone to conform
to federal regulations, and you can connect
it to most telephone lines. However, each
phone (and each device, such as a
telephone or answering machine) that you
connect to the telephone line draws power
from the telephone line. We refer to this
power draw as the device’s ringer
equivalence number, or REN on the back of
your phone.

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

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 phone. The telephone company
notifies you of these changes in advance, so
you can take the necessary steps to prevent
interruption of your telephone service.

SURGE PROECTION

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.
