When using your telephone equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce

the risk of re, electric shock, and injury to persons,

including the following:

• Do not use this product near water, for example,
near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink or laundry
tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

• Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless
type) during an electrical storm. There may be a
remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

• Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the
vicinity of the leak.

• Use only the batteries indicated in this manual. Do

not dispose of batteries in a re. They may explode.

Check with local codes for possible special disposal
instructions.

No dial tone — Be sure the handset and phone line
cords are securely connected.

Display is blank — Be sure batteries are correctly
installed.

Volume drops or sound is distorted — Be sure any— Be sure any
other phones are not being used.

Call is noisy — Check to see if the cords are securely
connected.

Can receive calls, but cannot make calls — Set— Set MODE
to the correct dialing mode, P or T.

No Caller ID information appears — You have not
subscribed to Caller ID service with your phone
company.

• Keep your phone dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry
immediately.

• Use and store your phone only in room
temperature environments. Handle your phone
carefully; do not drop it.

• Keep your phone away from dust and dirt, and
wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new.

• Modifying or tampering with your phone’s
internal components can cause a malfunction
and might invalidate its warranty. If your phone is
not performing as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance.

Your phone complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon
receipt, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your
telephone company. Both numbers are on the bottom of the phone.

Note: You must not connect your phone to:

• coin-operated systems

• most electronic key telephone systems

• party-line systems

Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact
the state public utility commission, public service commission, or
corporation commission for information.

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 bottom 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 ve (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 as soon

as possible and advises you of your right to le 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 noties you of these changes in

advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption
of your telephone service.

surge protection

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.

This product is warranted by RadioShack against manufacturing defects in material
and workmanship under normal use for one (1) year from the date of purchase from
RadioShack company-owned stores and authorized RadioShack franchisees
and dealers. For complete warranty details and exclusions, check with your local

RadioShack store.
