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 device, such as a telephone or 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. The REN is on the bottom of your
phone.
If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all of the RENs. If the
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
Rules
. You must, upon request, provide the
FCC registration number and the REN to
your telephone company. Both numbers are
on the bottom of your phone.
Note:
You must not connect your phone to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
FCC
IMPORTANT CALLER ID
INFORMATION
To use the phone's Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID 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.
• 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 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 and receive calls if there is an AC
power failure.
3
43-5522.fm Page 4 Tuesday, September 12, 2000 3:12 PM
• Some cordless phones operate at frequencies that might cause interference
to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize
or prevent such interference, the base of
the cordless phone should not be placed
near or on top of a TV or VCR.
• Your cord less 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 is possible for other radio units operating on
similar frequencies within a certain area
to unintentionally intercept 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.
Also, the phone company can make changes
to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of this
telephone. The telephone company notifies
you of these changes in advance, so you can
take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.
LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in protection circuits
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 suggest that you unplug
your phone when storms approach to reduce
the possibility of damage.
FCC STATEMENT
The phone 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.
. These limits provide reason-

Installation
MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the phone on a desk or table,
or mount it on a standard wall plate or directly 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 electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal walls or filing cabinets, wireless intercoms, alarms, and
room monitors
• away from other cordless phones
The base's location affects the handset's
range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the best
performance.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 9V AC
!
and delivers at least 350 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
DC IN 9V
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).
On a Desk, Shelf, or Table
Follow these steps when you place the base
on a desk, shelf or table.
1. Insert the bracket’s tabs into the base’s
upper tab slots, then press down on the
bracket’s clips and insert them into the
clip slots.
2. Plug one end of the supplied long modular cord into the
back of the base.
3. Route the modular cord through the
strain relief hook.
4. Plug the modular cord's other end into a
modular telephone line jack.
5. Insert the supplied AC adapter's barrel
plug into the
the base.
6. Route the adapter's cord through the
strain relief slot on the bracket.
7. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
8. Lift the base's antenna to a vertical position.
