If you are using more than one phone or
other device on the line, add up all the
RENs. If the total is m ore 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.

INSTALLING THE SPEAKERPHONE
To make full use of the S peakerphone’s
features, you must connect it to two telephone lines, each with its own telephone
number. However, you can conn ect it to
a single line.
Notes:
• The first Speakerphone you connect
to the phone line is automatically set
to Extension 11. Any additional
Speakerphones you connect to the
phone line will ri ng until you set its
extension number (see “Setting the
Station Extension Numbers” on
Page 12).
• You must connect the Speakerphone to the telephone lines before
you plug in its AC adapter. Otherwise, each station will have the
same extension number and the
paging and intercom features will
not work until you properly set all extensions (see “Setting the Station
Extension Numbers” on Page 12).
• You can connect your Speakerphone directly to a single 2-line
modular phone jack.
• If you do not have 2-line phone
jacks, you can use 1-line modular
phone jacks or combine two 1-line
modular phone jacks using a 2-line
coupler (such as RadioShack Cat.
No. 279-401, not supplied).
• If your phone line jacks are not modular jacks, you can update the wiring
yourself, using jacks and adapters
available at your local RadioShack
store. Or, you can have the phone
company update the wiring for you.
• The USO C num ber of the jack to be
installed is RJ14C (for a 2-line
phone jack) or RJ11C (for a 1-line
phone jack).

USING INTERCOM AND PAGING
You can call other stations connected to
the same phone lines using either the intercom or paging feature.
Using the Speakerphone’s intercom feature is like making a telephone call to
another station. You can have a twoway conversation when the called station answers.
Using the Speakerphone’s paging feature is like making public address (PA)
announcements. You can announce
your message directly to one or all of the
stations instead of making the stations
ring.
• If no station answers, your page is
like making a one-way call.
• When a statio n answers, your p age
changes into an intercom call.

for the Speakerphone so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the Speakerphone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the Speak erphone gently and carefully. Droppi ng it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause it to work improperly.
Use and store the Speakerph one only i n normal t emperature envi ronments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the Speakerphone away from dust and dirt, which can cause
premature wear of parts.
Wipe the Speakerphone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chem icals, cleaning solv ents, or strong detergents to clean the system.
Modifying or tampering with the Speakerphone’s internal comp onents can cause a
malfunction and might invalidat e your Speakerphone’s wa rranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it. If your Speakerphone is not performing as it should, take it
to your local RadioShac k store for assistance. If the trouble is af fecting the phone

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that you r Speakerphone causes problems on the telephone line, the telephone company
attempts to notify you in advanc e. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone company notifies you as soon as
possible and advises you of your right to
file a complaint with the FCC .
Also, the telephone company can make
changes to its lines, equi pment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
operation of this system. The telephone
company notifies yo u of these changes
in advance so y ou can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your
telephone service.
Your Speakerphone complies with the
limits for a Class B digital device as
specified in Part 15 of
These limits provide reasonabl e protection against radio a nd T V interference in
a residential area. However, your
Speakerphone mig ht cause TV or radio
interference even when it is operating
properly. To eliminate interference, you
can try on e o r more of the f ollowing c orrective measures:
FCC Rules
Consult your local RadioShack store if
the problem still exists.
If you cannot eliminat e the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your phone.
LIGHTNING
Your Speakerphone has built-in lightning protection circuits to reduce the risk
of damage from surges in telephone and
power line current. These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the
telephone or power lines can damage
your system.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, to reduce the possibility of
damage if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we recommend
you unplug the System 212 Speaker-
.
phone during lightning storms to reduc e
the possibility of damage.
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
radio or TV antenna.
• Increase the distance between the
Speakerphone and the radio or TV.
• Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the Speakerphone and the
radio or TV.
