Note:  
This phone has been tested and found to  
comply with all applicable UL and FCC stan-  
dards.  
You must not connect your phone to:  
• coin-operated systems  
• party-line systems  
IMPORTANT CALLER ID  
INFORMATION  
• most electronic key telephone systems  
Important:  
To use the phone's Caller ID and Call Wait-  
ing 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:  
• 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.  
• caller's number only  
• caller's name only  
• caller's name and number.  
• Some cordless phones operate at fre-  
quencies 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.  
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 an-  
swering machine) that you connect to the  
telephone line draws power from the tele-  
phone 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.  
Your cordless phone operates on stan-  
dard radio frequencies, as allocated by  
the FCC. Even though your phone's  
access protection code prevents unau-  
thorized use of your phone line, it is pos-  
sible for other radio units operating on  
similar frequencies within a certain area  
to unintentionally intercept your conver-  
sations and/or cause interference. This  
possible lack of privacy can occur with  
any cordless phone.  
If you use more than one phone or other de-  
vice on the line, add up all of the RENs. If the  
total is more than five (or three in rural ar-  
eas), your telephones might not ring. If ringer  
operation is impaired, remove a device from  
the line.  
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO  
KNOW  
Your phone complies with Part 68 of FCC  
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.  
In the unlikely event that your 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  
3

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.  
Consult your local RadioShack store if the  
problem still exists.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS  
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.  
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:  
1. Read and understand all instructions.  
2. Follow all warnings and instructions  
marked on the product.  
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.  
3. Never install telephone wiring during a  
lightning storm.  
4. Never install telephone jacks in wet  
locations unless the jack is specifically  
designed for wet locations.  
5. Never touch uninsulated telephone  
wires or terminals unless the telephone  
line has been disconnected at the net-  
work interface.  
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.  
6. Use caution when installing or modifying  
telephone lines.  
FCC STATEMENT  
7. Do not fix the AC power supply cord to  
building surfaces with metal fittings (if  
the product has an AC power cord).  
The phone complies with the limits for a  
Class B digital device as specified in Part 15  
of FCC Rules. These limits provide reason-  
able protection against radio and TV interfer-  
ence in a residential area. However, your  
equipment might cause TV or radio interfer-  
ence even when it is operating properly. To  
eliminate interference, you can try one or  
more of the following corrective measures:  
8. Unplug this product from the wall outlet  
before cleaning. Do not use liquid clean-  
ers or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp  
cloth for cleaning.  
9. Do not use this product near water, for  
example, near a bath tub, wash bowl,  
kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet  
basement, or near a swimming pool.  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving  
antenna.  
• Increase the distance between the  
equipment and the radio or TV.  
10. Do not place this product on an unstable  
cart, stand, or table. The product may  
fall, causing serious damage to the  
product.  
• Use outlets on different electrical circuits  
for the equipment and the radio or TV.

• About once a month, fully discharge the  
battery by keeping the handset off the  
base until Low Battery flashes. Oth-  
erwise, the battery pack loses its ability

pack. (The battery power might be too  
low to light the display.)  
• If you are not going to use your phone  
for an extended period of time, discon-  
nect the battery pack. This increases the  
battery pack's usable life.  
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 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  
through your local RadioShack store. Install  
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 Page 5
