IMPORTANT CALLER ID INFORMATION
To use the System’s Caller ID features, you must be in an area
where Caller ID service is available and you must subscribe to
that service.
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
For the cordless phone’s Caller ID memory dial feature to operate, you must receive the caller’s number.
Important:
Cordless phones such as this one require AC power
to operate. When the AC power is off, you cannot dial out or receive incoming calls using your cordless phone. For this reason, the cordless phone should not be your only telephone. To
be safe, you should also have a phone that does not require AC
power to operate (not a cordless phone) so you can still make
and receive calls if there is an AC power failure.
Your cordless phone operates on standard radio frequencies,
as allocated by the FCC. Therefore, it is possible for other radio
units operating on similar frequencies, within certain areas, to
inadvertently intercept your conversations and/or cause interference on your cordless telephone. This lack of privacy can occur
with any cordless telephone.

READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION
We have designed your telephone to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However,
each device that you connect to the phone line draws po wer
from the phone line. We refer to this power draw as the device’s
ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom
of your phone’s base.
If you are using more than one phone or other device on the
line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than five (three in
rural areas), your phone might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
This telephone complies with Part 68 of
upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the
REN to your phone company. These numbers are on the bottom of your phone’s base.
Note:
You must not connect your phone to any of the following:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems

Installation
SELECTING A LOCATION
Select a location for the telephone that is:
• near an AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, and
metal walls or filing cabinets
• away from wireless intercoms, alarms, and room monitors
The base’s location affects the phone’s range. If you have a
choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the
best performance.
Note:
Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone
line jack. If your phone line jack is not a modular jack, you can
update the wiring yourself, using jacks and adapters availabl e
at your local RadioShack store. Or, you can let the phone company update the wiring for you. The USOC number of the jack
to be installed is RJ11C.

• The CHARGING/IN USE indicator still lights even when a
battery pack is not installed in the battery compartment.
Make sure the battery is installed before using the phone.
• To avoid damage to the battery pack, always recharge the
handset before battery power grows too weak for

• If you are not going to use your phone for an extended
period of time, disconnect its battery. This helps to increase
the battery’s usable life.
INSTALLING THE BACKUP BATTERY PACK
Your phone requires a 3.6V rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride
battery pack (not supplied) for backup power when AC power is
off. In case of a power failure, you can make and receive calls
for up to four hours with a fully charged spare battery pack. You
can also use the spare battery pack to replace a drained battery
pack in the handset.
Push down the tab of the battery
compartment cover in the base and
open the cover. Then place the
battery pack in the compartment as
indicated by the polarity symbols (+
and –) marked inside. Replace the
