DO NOT OPEN

We have designed your telephone to conform to federal
regulations, and you can connect it to mo st tele phone lines.
However, each telephone (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 telephone.

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

Your phone is ETL listed to UL standards and meets all
applicable FCC requirements.

The phone also co mp lies with the limits for a Clas s B device
as specified in Part 15 of

FCC Rules

. These limits provide
reasonable protectio n against radi o and TV interfe renc e in a
residential area. However, your telephone might cause TV
or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To
eliminate interference, you can try one or more of the
following corrective measures.

• Reorient or relocate the TV's receiving antenna

• Increase the distance between the telephone and the
radio and TV.

Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem still
exists.

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

.+)*60+0)

Your phone has bui lt-i n pr otec ti on c irc ui ts to re duc e t he risk
of damage from surges in telephone line and power line
current. These protection circuits meet or exceed FCC
requirements. However, lightning striking the telephone or
power lines can damage your phone.

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

To use the phone’s C al ler I D and Call Waiting features, you
must be in an area where Caller ID and Call Waiting
services are available and you must subscribe to the
services.

Important Information

Where Caller ID is offered, one or more of the following
options are generally available:

• caller's number only

• caller's name only

• caller's name and number

Your phone displays the caller's name only if that option is
available in your area.

The actual number of Caller ID records your phone will store
depends on the amount of Caller ID information sent by the
phone company.

Installing Batteries

The phone retains all Caller ID
information when power is
interrupted. When replacing the
batteries, however, install the new
ones within 2 minutes of removing
the old ones, or the phone’s date
and time will be lost.

Mounting the Phone

• Your telephone connects
directly to a modular phone line
jack. If your phone line jack is
not a modular jack, you can
update the wiring yourself, using
jacks and adapters available
from your local RadioShack
store. Or, you can let the
telephone company update the
wiring for you.

• The USOC number of the jack
to be installed is RJ11C, or
RJ11W for a wall plate jack.
