FCC STATEMENT
This phone is Hearing Aid compatible.
Your phone complies with Part 68 of
. You must, upon request, provide the
Rules
FCC registration number and the REN to
your telephone company. Both numbers are
on the bottom of the phone.
Note:
You must not connect your phone to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key telephone systems
We have designed your phone to conform to
federal regulations, and you can connect it to
most telephone lines. However, each phone
(and each device, such as an answering machine) that you connect to the telephone line
draws power from the telephone line. We refer to this power draw as the device's ringer
equivalence number, or REN on the bottom
of your phone.
If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, a dd up all of the REN s . If the
total is more than five (three in rural areas),
your telephones m ight not ring. If rin ger ope ration is impaired, remove a device from the
line.
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.

to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of this
telephone. The telephone company notifies
you of these changes in advanc e, so yo u ca n
take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
. These limits are designed to provide
Rules
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accord an ce with the instru cti ons ,
may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
• Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on
a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
FCC

Read This Before Installation
• Consult your local RadioShack store or
an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
• If you cannot eliminate the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your phone.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RadioShack may cause interference and void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-i n protec tion ci rcuits
to reduce the risk of damage from surges in
telephone line and power line current. These
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 s ugg es t th at you unplug
your phone when storms approach to reduce
the possibility of damage.

SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone on a desk or table,
on a standard wall plate or mount it directly
on a wall. Select a location that is:
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal walls, filing cabinets, wireless intercoms, security
alarms, and room monitors
Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If your telephone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can
update the wiring yourself using jacks and
adapters (available at your local RadioShack
store), or have the telephone company update the wiring for you. You must use compatible modular jacks that are compliant with
Part 68 of
and modular plug provided is Part 68 compliant for connecting to the telephone company
network.
Note:
jack to be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a
wall plate jack). The USOC number for a
two-line jack is RJ14C (or RJ14W for a wall
plate).

Your local RadioShack store sells a variety
of longer coiled handset cords, which are
useful when you mount the sys tem on a w al l.
1. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to lift up the
battery compartment co ver, then remo ve
the cover.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment
as indicated by the polarity symbols (+
