OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.

Two-Line Telephone System — lets you easily

handle two telephone lines at the same time. You can use both lines to make 3- or 4way conference calls, or one line for data communication while you are talking on the other.

Dual Keypads — a full set of keys on both the phone's handset and base let you use either keypad to make and answer calls or use the phone's features.

Speakerphone — lets you make or answer calls without using the handset.

Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 900 MHz 2 Line Cordless Speakerphone. It uses advanced cordless telephone technol ogy to gi ve you supe rio r audio qu ality and extended range. It is designed to exacting standards that ensure reliability, long life, and outstanding performance.

The phone’s Caller ID memory records and stores up to 80 Caller ID records (40 for each line), including telephone number (and name, if available in your area) and the date and time of the call, as provided by your local phone company to Caller ID service subscribers. If you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller ID, the phone can show you the incoming caller information, even when you are already on the phone.

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 hands et’s range. If you ha ve a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the best performance.

Connecting to Phone Lines

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

On a Desk Top

• If you connect the phone to a two-line phone jack with a twoline cord, do not connect a cord to the TEL LINE 2 jack or the phone will not operate properly. Instead, you can connect another phone device, such as a fax machine or modem.

To take full advantage of the phone’s capabilities, you must have two phone lines with separate phone numbers. If you have only one li ne, you ca n order a second from your p hone 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 jacks

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

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 compatib le modular jacks that a re compliant with Part 68 of
