Please read this owner’s manual care-
fully so you ca n enjoy all of your telephone’s features.
Important:
Cordless phones such as
this one require AC power to operate.
When the A C power is off, you c annot
dial out or receive incoming calls using
your cordless phone. For th is 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 a nd
receive calls if there is an AC power
failure.

READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your t elephone 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 power
from the phone line. We refer to this
power draw as the device’s ringer
equivalence number, or REN. The
REN is shown on the b ottom of your
phone.
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 phone might no t 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
FCC Rules
of
quest, provide the registration number
and the REN to your phone com pany.
These numbers are located on the bottom of your phone.

PREPARATION
INSTALLING THE
BATTERY
Before you use your phone for the first
time, you must install and c onnect the
battery, then charge it for about 12-15
hours.
To install the battery, slide off the battery compartment cover on the back of
the handset. Place the battery in the
compartment, then connect the battery
to the pins inside the battery compartment.
Then install the handset’s antenna, replace the cover, mount the phone (see
“Selecting a Location”), and follow the
instructions under “Charging the Battery. ”
INSTALLING THE
HANDSET’S ANTENNA
Insert the antenna into the hole at the
top of the handset, then rotate the antenna clockwise until it is secure.
SELECTING A LOCA T ION
You can place your phone on a desk,
shelf, or table, or mount it on a wall.
Select a location that is:
• Near an AC outlet
• Near a telephone line jack
• Out of the way of normal activities
• Away from fluorescent lights, electrical machinery, electrical appliances, and metal walls or filing
cabinets
• Away from computers, remote
control toys, 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.
Notes:
• If the phone line jack is not a modular jack, you must update the wiring. You can do this yourself,
using jacks and adapters available at your local Radio Shack
store, or you can let the phone
company update the wiring for
you.
• The phone company will charge
you for the install ation of the necessary jacks.

jack.
Caution: You must use a 120 VAC/12

milliamps. Its plug must correctly fit the

REPLACING THE
BATTERY
If you follow the instructions in “Charging the Battery,” the supplied battery
should last about one year. When the
battery loses its ability to fully charge,
order a 3. 6 volt, 300 milliam p battery
with a connector that fits the connector
in the battery compartment. You can
order a replacement battery through
your local Radio Shack store.
Install the new battery as described
below, then charge the battery (see
“Charging the Battery”).
1. Slide off the battery compartment
cover on the back of the handset
as shown.
2. Gently pull on the battery wires to
disconnect the plug, then remove
the battery.
Caution:
rechargeable nickel cadm ium battery.
At the end of the battery’s useful life, it
must be recycled or disposed of properly. Contact your local, county, or
state hazardous waste management
authorities for information on recycling
or disposal programs in your area.
Some options that m ight be available
are: municipal curb-side collection,
drop off boxes at retailers, recycling
collection centers, and m ail back programs.

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 at tempts 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 com plaint with the FCC.
3. Insert a fresh battery and connect
its plug to the pins inside the battery compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect
the operation of the phone. The phone
company notifies you of these changes
in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of
your phone service.

Your phone m ight cause TV or radio
LIGHTNING
interference even when it is operat ing
properly. To determine whether your
phone is causing the interference, turn
off your phone. If the interference goes
away, your phone is ca using the interference. Try to eliminate the interference by:
• Moving your phone away from the
receiver
• Connecting your phone to an AC
outlet that is on a different electrical circuit from the receiver
• Contacting your local Radio
Shack store for help
Your phone has buil t-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage from
surges in phone line current. These
protection circuits meet or exceed FCC
requirements. However, lightning striking the phone l ines can damage your
phone.
Lighting damage i s not com m on. Nevertheless, if you li ve an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibility of
damage.
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your phone.
