READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

We have designed your desktop phone to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each telephone and each device, such as an 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. The REN is on the bottom of your telephone.

ence list that offers brief phone operating instructions on the back cover of the memory card. To view it, lift off the memory card. When you have finished using the memory card, replace it and then replace the clear plastic cover.

CARE

To enjoy your phone for a long time, keep it dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environments. Handle the phone gently and carefully; do not drop it. Keep the phone away from dust and dirt. Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.

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. If your phone is not working properly, take it to your RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the phone company can ask you to disconnect your phone until the problem is resolved.

LIGHTNING

Your telephone has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage from surges in telephone line current. However, lightning striking the telephone line can damage your telephone.

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

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

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