To use the pho ne's Caller I D and Calle r
ID with Call Waitin g features, you must
be in an area w here those services ar e
available and you must subscribe to

READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations, and you can
connect it to most telep hone li nes. How ever, each device that you connect to
the phone line draws power from the
phone line. We refer to this p ower draw
as the device's ringer equivalenc e number, or REN. The REN is on the bott om
of the base. If you are using more than
one phone or other device on the line,
add up all the REN s. If the total i s more
than five (three in rural areas), your
phones might not ring. If ringer operation
is impaired, remove a device from the
line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your phone complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules. You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number
and the REN to your phone company.
These numbers are on the bottom of the
base.
You must not connect your phone to any
of the foll owing:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
Your telephone oper ates on st an-
Note:
dard radio frequencies, as allocated by
the FCC. Even though the security access-protection code prevents unauthorized use of your phone line, it is
possible for radios operating on similar
frequencies within a certain area to unintentionally intercept your conversations
and/or cause interference. This lack of
privacy can occur with any cordless
phone.

toys, wireless microp hones, al arm syste ms, intercom s, room
monitors, fluorescent lights, and electrical appliances.
Move the handset to anot her location or tu rn off the sou rce of
interference.
Lift the base's antenna to a vertical position.
Be sure neither antenna is touching a metal surface.
Return the handset to the cradle, and recharge the battery

Be sure the base's phone line cord and AC adapter are cor-
rectly and securely connected, and the battery pack is
charged.
Check the charging contacts on the handset and base.
If they are dirty, clean them with a pencil eraser.
Be sure the battery pack is connected correctly.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack Digital 900 MH z Dual Keypad Cordl ess Speakerphone is an example of superior de sign and craftsmanship. The foll owing suggestions will help
you care for your phone so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the phone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might
contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorte n the life of ele ctronic devi ces, dam age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the phone away from dust and dirt, which can cau se premature
wear of parts.
Handle the phone gently and carefully. Dr opping it can da mage circuit
boards and cases and can cause the phone to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteri es of the required size and recom mended type.
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your phone’s electronic
parts.
Wipe the phone base and ha ndset with a damp cloth occasionally to
keep them looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents,
or strong detergents to clean the phone.
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 perf orming as it should , take it to your loc al RadioShack stor e
for assistance. If the tr ouble is affecting the telephon e lines, the phone company
can ask you to disconnect your phone until you have resolved the problem.

REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connecting and Charging t he Battery Pack” on
Page 8, the battery pack should last
about one year. If the batte ry pack doe s
not hold a charge for more than 2 hours
after an overnight char ge, replace it with
a new 3.6-volt, 600 mAh battery pack
with a connector that fits the socket in
the battery compartment. Y ou can or der
a replacement battery pack through your
local RadioShack store.
Install the new battery pack as described below, then charge it for about
24 hours (see “Connecting and Charging the Battery Pack” on Page 8).
Warning:
promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Be careful not to short the battery by
touching the connector's pins with
conducting mater ials, su ch as ri ngs,
bracelets, and keys. The battery
pack or conductor might overheat
and burn.
Note:
install and begin c harging the new battery pack within 30 seconds.
Dispose of old batteries
To avoid losing memory numbers,
Follow these steps to rep lac e t he ba tter ies.
1. Press down and slid e off the batte ry
pack compartment cover.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the compartment, then gently pull on the
battery connector to disconnect it.
3. Insert the new battery pack's connector into the socket in the compartment and place the batt ery pack
into the compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
If you have trouble replacing the battery,
take the phone to your local RadioShack
store for assistance.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can t emporar ily disc ontinue your service. If this happens, the
phone company attempts to notify you in
advance. If advance notice i s not pr actical, the phone compan y 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 lin es, 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.
Your phone might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating
properly. To determine whether your
phone is causing the interference, turn
off your phone. I f the interference goes
away, your phone is causing it. Try to
eliminate the interference by:
If you cannot eliminate t he interference ,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your phone.
Some cordless telephones operate on
frequencies that might cause interference to nearby TVs and V CRs. To m inimize or prevent such interference, the
base of the cordless telephone should
not be placed near or on top of a T V or
VCR.
LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in surge protection to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in teleph one li ne an d po wer
line current. This protection meets or exceeds FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking t he telep hone or power
lines can damage your telephone.
Lightning damage is not c ommon. Nevertheless, if y ou live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
