And, if you subscribe to Call Waiting with
Caller ID, the phone shows you the incoming

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.

Installation
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).
On a Desk Top, Shelf, or Table
