tested and found to comply with all applicable FCC standards.
IMPORTANT CALLER ID
INFORMATION
To use the phone’s Caller ID and Caller ID
with Call Waiting features, you must be in an
area where those services are available and
you must subscribe to those services
through your local phone company.
Where Caller ID is offered, one or more options are generally available:
• caller’s number only
• caller’s name only
• caller’s name and 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 phone. To be safe, you
should also have a phone that does not need
AC power to operate (not a cordless phone)
so you can still make and receive calls if
there is an AC power failure.
When AC power is lost, the phone loses the
security access-protection code connection
between the base and the handset. When
power is restored, put the handset on the
base briefly to restore this connection so you
can use the handset.
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
Each device that you connect to the phone
line draws power 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 the 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, your phones might not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer
operation. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
This telephone complies with Part 68 of
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 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
This telephone complies with the limits for a
Class B digital device as specified in Part 15
FCC Rules
of
able protection against radio and TV interference in a residential area. However, your
equipment 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 receiving
antenna.
• Increase the distance between the
equipment and the radio or TV.
• Use outlets on different electrical circuits
for the equipment and the radio or TV.
Consult your local RadioShack store if the
problem still exists.

MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the phone’s base on a desk or
table, mount it on a standard wall plate, or
mount it directly on a wall. Choose a location
that is:
• near an AC outlet
• near a modular telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery, electri-
cal appliances, metal walls or filing cabinets, wireless intercoms, alarms, and
room monitors
• away from other cordless phones
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 available 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 (RJ11W for a wall plate).

CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE BATTERY
PACK
The phone comes with a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery pack in the handset but
not connected. Before using your phone, you

charge it for about 24 hours.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the compartment.
3. Plug the battery pack’s connector into
the socket in the compartment (the connector fits only one way), then replace
the battery pack.

• If the display is blank and the phone
does not work, recharge the battery
pack. (The battery power might be too
low to light the display.)
• If you are not going to use your phone
for an extended period of time, disconnect the battery pack. This increases the
battery pack’s usable life.
• The supplied battery pack should last for
about a year. When it loses its ability to
fully recharge, order a replacement battery pack from your local RadioShack
store (see “Replacing the Battery Pack”
on Page 25).

the time and date, between the first and second rings of every call you receive.
The phone displays this information after the

minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environments. Temper ature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and
distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the phone away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of
parts.
Handle the phone gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards
and cases and can cause the phone to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type . Batteries

REPLACING THE BATTERY
PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connecting
and Charging the Battery Pack” on Page 10,
the battery pack should last about one year.
If the battery pack does not hold a charge for
more than 2 hours after an overnight charge,
replace it with a new 3.6-volt, 600 mAh battery pack with a connector that fits the socket
in the battery compartment. You can order a
replacement battery pack through your local
RadioShack store.
Install the new battery pack, then charge it
for about 24 hours.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
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,
place the battery pack into the compartment, and replace the cover.
If you have trouble replacing the battery
pack, take the phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
Important:

• You must use a replacement battery
pack of the same size and type.
• Do not dispose of the battery pack in a
fire because it might explode.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery
pack.
• Be careful not to short the battery pack
by touching it with conducting materials,
such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The
battery pack or conductor might overheat and burn.

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.
LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in protection circuits
to reduce the risk of damage from surges in
telephone line and power line current. Thes e
protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC
requirements. However, lightning striking the
telephone or power lines can damage your
telephone.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has severe
electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug
your phone when storms approach to reduce
the possibility of damage.
