READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION
We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each phone (and each devic e, s uc h as a telephone or a n­swering 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. The REN is on the bottom of your phone.
If you use more than one phone or other de­vice on the line, ad d u p all of the RENs. If th e total is more than five (or three in rural ar­eas), your telephones might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the line.
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 your phone.

IMPORTANT CALLER ID INFORMATION
To use the phone's Caller ID and Call Wait­ing with Caller ID features, you m us t 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
• party-line systems
• most electronic key telephone systems
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. For this reason, the phone should not be your onl y tele pho ne. 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
3
43-5521.fm Page 4 Monday, June 5, 2000 12:29 PM
make and receive calls if there is an AC power fai l ure.
• Some cordless phones operate at fre­quencies that might cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the ba se o f the cordless p hon e should not be p lac ed near or on top of a TV or VCR.
• Your cordless phone operates on stan­dard radio frequencies, as allocated by the FCC. Even though your phone's access protection code prevents unau­thorized use of your phone line, it i s p os­sible for other radio units operating on similar frequencies within a certain area to unintent ionally inte rcept your conver­sations and/or cause interference. This possible lack of privacy can occur with any cordless phone.
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.

• 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.

fied technician to restore the product to normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 9V DC

and delivers at least 210 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the phone's jack. The supplied adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the phone or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the phone before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you dis­connect it from the phone.
Note:
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.
The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate jack).

The supplied battery pack should last about a 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 lo cal RadioShack store. Inst all the new battery pack and charge it for about 24 hours.
Warning:
Dispose of the old battery pack promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it (see “Battery Safety Instructions” on Page6

Troubleshooting
We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you do, these suggestions might help.
Problem Suggestion
The phone does not work or works poorly.
The display flashes slowly when the handset is faceup on the base.
The handset stops working or works poorly during a call.
Low volume or unusual sounds.
Dropout or mute. Keep the handset away from computers, remote control toys, wireless
The phone cannot be operated at a useful distance from the base because the signal becomes weak or noisy (hand­set's range has decreased).
The handset battery pack does not charge.
The handset does not ring or receive a page.
Be sure the base's phone line cord and AC adapter are correctly and securely connected.
Be sure the battery pack in the handset is connected and charged. Return the handset to the base for about 5 seconds to reset the secu-
rity access-protection code. Make sure the battery pack in the handset is properly connected.
Move the handset closer to the base. Lift the base's antenna to a fully vertical position. Be sure the handset's battery pack is charged. (If the battery pack

SELECT/CHANNEL
Press Hang up and redial the number. Lift the base's antenna to a vertical position. Be sure neither the handset's nor base's antenna is touching a metal
surface. Return the handset to the base and recharge the battery pack.
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. Be sure the handset is properly seated on the base. Replace the battery pack (see “Connecting, Charging, and Replacing

Troubleshooting
43-5521.fm Page 23 Monday, June 5, 2000 12:29 PM
Problem Suggestion
You have an incoming call, but do not receive any Caller ID information.
Let the phone ring twice before you answer so the phone has time to record the Caller ID information.
Check that the phone is correctly and securely connected. Check with your phone company to verify that your Caller ID service is
active.
If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line work proper­ly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the problem, take the phone to your local Ra dioShack store for assistance.
CARE
To enjoy your Sprint 2.4 GHz Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless Telephone for a long time:
• Keep the phone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
• Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environm ent s.
• Handle the phone gently and carefully. Do not drop it.
• Keep the phone away fro m dust and dirt .
• Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occa­sionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s in­ternal com ponents can ca use a malfuncti on and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your phone is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assis­tance. If the troub le is a ffec tin g t he tel ephone lines, the phone com pany can as k you to dis­connect your phone until you have resolved the problem.
