Your Digital Answering System is a sophisticated fully-digital
message center that combines a telephone and an answering
machine in one convenient package.
Fully-digital means the answering system stores all messages
on a computer chip. This gives you adva nced capabilities over
tape-based answering machines. For example, you can delete
an individual message while saving the rest. And, of course,
there are no tape mechanisms to wear out and no tapes to
bother with.
The system’s features include:

READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION
Your system conforms to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, ea ch device that you
connect to the phone line draws power from the line. We refer to
this power draw as the device’s ring er equivalence number, or
REN. The REN is on the bottom of the system.
If you are using more than one phone or other device on the
line, add up all the RENs. If the tota l is more than five (three in
rural areas), your phone might not ring or your answering system might not answer. If ringer operati on is impaired, remove a
device from the line.
Features

Page 8
FCC STATEMENT
Your system complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules
. You must,
upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the
REN to your phone company. Both numbers ar e on the bottom
of your system.
Note:
You must not connect your system to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
Your system complies with the limits for a Class B digital device
as specified in Part 15 of
FCC Rules
. These limits provide reasonable protection against radio and TV interference in a residential area. However, your system might cause TV or radio
interference even when it is operating prop erly. To eliminate interference, you can try one or more of the following corrective
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna of the radio or
TV antenna.
• Increase the distance between the system and the radio or
TV.
• Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the system
and the radio or TV.
Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem still exists.

Installation
SELECTING A LOCATION
Select a location for the system that is near both a modular
phone jack and an AC outlet, and out of the way of normal activities. You can place the system on a flat surface or mount it on a
wall plate or directly on the wall.
Notes:
• If the phone line jack is not a modular jack, you must
update the wiring. You can convert the wiring yourself,
using jacks and adapters available at any RadioShack
store. Or, you can let the phone company update it for you.
• The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ1 1C for a
standard modular phone jack or RJ1 1W for a wall-plate jack.
CONNECTING POWER
You can power the system using the supplied 9V, 300-mA AC
adapter.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its cen-
!
ter tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit
the system’s
meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not

jack. The supplied adapter
Installation
9
Page 10
meet these specifications could damage the system or the
adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the system before you
connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the
adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the
system.
Follow these steps to connect the AC adapter.
1. Insert the barrel plug of the supplied AC adapter into the
9VDC 300 mA
jack.
2. Plug the other end of the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
The system beeps twice and the MESSAGE indicator lights, followed by 4 tones. The LOW BATT indicator blinks. After running
a self test, the system sets all internal default values.
Notes:
• Do not press any of the answering system’s buttons while
you are plugging the adapter into the AC outlet. If you acci-
10
Installation
Page 11
dentally press a button, unplug the adapter from the AC
outlet, then plug it back in.
• The answering system cannot operate without AC power.
However, you can make and answer calls on the telephone
without AC power.
INSTALLING THE BACKUP BATTERY
If AC power fails or you unplug the system, you need one 9V alkaline backup battery (not supplied) to save the answering system’s messages and settings for the day and time. Fo r the best
performance and longest life, we recommend you use a RadioShack alkaline battery.
Caution:
Use only a fresh battery of the required size and rec-
ommended type.
Follow these steps to install the battery.
1. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to lift up the battery compartment’s cover, then remove the cover.
Installation

11
Page 12
2. Attach the battery to the terminals, then place it inside the
compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
If the LOW BATT indicator blinks while the AC adapter is p roperly connected, replace the battery.
Warning:
Dispose of the old battery promptly an d properly. Do
not burn or bury it.
Cautions:
• To avoid losing stored informa tion, be sure the AC adapter
is plugged in and connected to the system before you
replace the battery.
• If you do not plan to use the system for 30 days or longer,
remove the battery. Batteries can leak chemicals that can
destroy electronic parts.

• Many local phone companies use calling party control
(CPC) to signal that the caller has hung up. Y our answering
system can recognize a CPC signal and release the line. If
the system records phone company messages or dial
tones, your local phone company probably does not use
CPC.

phone company can ask you to disconnect your system until
you have resolved the problem.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your system causes problems on the
phone line, the phone company can temporarily disconnect
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 o peration
of your system. The phone company notifies you of these
changes in advance, so you can take steps to prevent interru ption of your phone service.
LIGHTNING
Your system has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of
damage from surges in phone and power-line current. These
protection circuits meet or exceed FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking the phone line or power lines can damage your
system.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an
area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your system during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
