FCC.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO

KNOW

Also, the phone company can make changes

to its lines, equipment, operations, or proce-

dures 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 interrup-

tion of your telephone service.

This equipment has been tested and found

to comply with the limits for a Class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC

Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful inter-

ference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses and can radiate

radio frequency energy and, if not installed

and used in accordance with the instructions,

may cause harmful interference to radio

communications.

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.

However, there is no guarantee that interfer-

ence will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful inter-

ference to radio or television reception,

which can be determined by turning the

equipment off and on, the user is encour-

aged to try to correct the interference by one

or more of the following measures:

Lightning damage is not common. Neverthe-

less, 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.

• Reorient or relocate the receiving

antenna.

• Increase the separation between the

equipment and receiver.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on

a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

When using your telephone equipment, ba-

sic safety precautions should always be fol-

lowed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock

and injury to persons, including the following:

• Consult your local RadioShack store or

an experienced radio/TV technician for

less phone.

3. Never install telephone wiring during a

lightning storm.

In the unlikely event that this phone causes

problems on the phone line, the phone com-

pany can temporarily discontinue your ser-

vice. 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

4. Never install telephone jacks in wet

MOUNTING THE PHONE

You can place the phone’s base on a desk or

table, or mount it on a standard wall plate or

directly on a wall. Choose a location that is:

modular telephone line jack. If your tele-

phone 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 wir-

ing for you. You must use compatible

modular jacks that are compliant with

Part 68 of FCC Rules.

• near an AC outlet

• near a modular telephone line jack

• out of the way of normal activities

• away from electrical machinery, electri-

cal appliances, metal walls or filing cabi-

nets, wireless intercoms, alarms, and

room monitors

• The line that connects a two-line phone

jack to the phone company wiring must

be twisted-pair cable. Otherwise, you

might hear interference (crosstalk)

between the two lines.

• away from other cordless phones

The base’s location affects the handset’s

range. If you have a choice of several loca-

tions, try each to see which provides the best

performance.

• The USOC number of the two-line jack

to be installed is RJ14C (RJ14W for a

wall plate). The USOC number of a sin-

gle-line jack is RJ11C.

Connecting to the Phone Lines

Cautions:

To take full advantage of the phone’s capa-

bilities, you must have two phone lines with

separate phone numbers. If you have only

one line, you can order a second from your

phone company.

You must use a Class 2 power

source that supplies 9V DC

and delivers at least 400 mA.

Its center tip must be set to positive and

DC IN 9V

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.

You can connect the phone to the lines in

one of three ways:

• connect two lines through a two-line

modular phone jack

• 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 dis-

connect it from the phone.

• connect two lines through two one-line

modular phone jack

• connect one line through a one-line

modular phone jack.

• The supplied RadioShack adapter was

designed specifically for your phone.

Use only the supplied adapter.

of service you have, do this test.

The supplied battery pack should last about

one year. If the battery pack does not hold a

charge for more than 2 hours after an over-

night 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

ˆ Troubleshooting

We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you do, the following sug-

gestions might help.

Problem

Suggestion

The phone does not work or works

poorly.

Be sure the base’s phone line cord and AC adapter are cor-

rectly and securely connected.

Be sure the handset’s battery pack is connected and charged.

Return the handset to the base for a few seconds to reset the

security access-protection code.

The handset stops working or works

poorly during a call.

Move the handset closer to the base.

Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical position.

Be sure the handset’s battery pack is charged. (If the battery

power is too low, Bem 8Wjj[ho does not flash on the handset’s

display)

Low volume of unusual sounds.

Severe noise interference.

Someone has picked up another phone on the same phone

line. Hang up the other phone.

Keep the handset and base away from computers, remote

control toys, wireless microphones, alarm systems, intercoms,

room monitors, fluorescent lights, and electrical appliances.

Move to another location or turn off the source of the interfer-

ence.

Hang up and redial the number.

The phone cannot be operated at a use- Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical position.

ful distance from the base because the

signal becomes weak or noisy (hand-

set’s range has decreased).

Be sure neither antenna is touching a metal surface.

Recharge the battery pack.

The handset battery pack does not

charge.

Check the charging contacts on the handset and base. If they

are dirty, clean them with a pencil eraser.

Troubleshooting

Problem

Suggestion

The handset does not ring or receive a

page.

Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical position.

Move the handset closer to the base.

Move the handset and base away from other electrical

devices.

Set the ringer volume to either high or low.

Recharge the battery pack.

If the base loses power while the handset is off of it, the secu-

rity access-protection code might change. Restore power to

the base, then place the handset back on the base and leave

it there for a few seconds.

Check the number of devices connected to your phone line

and add up the RENs. See “Read This Before Installation” on

Page 2.

You have an incoming call, but do not

receive any Caller ID information.

Let the phone ring twice before you answer so the system has

time to record the Caller ID information.

Check that the system is correctly and securely connected.

Call 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 proper-

ly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the problem, take your phone to

your local RadioShack store for assistance.

CARE

Keep the phone dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry

immediately. Use and store the phone only in

normal temperature environments. Handle

the phone carefully; do not drop it. Keep the

phone away from dust and dirt, and wipe it

with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it

looking new.

Modifying or tampering with the phone’s in-

ternal components can cause a malfunction

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 assis-

tance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone

lines, the phone company can ask you to dis-

connect your phone until you have resolved

the problem.
