Important:
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.
• 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.
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.
• 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.
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.
• 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.
FCC STATEMENT
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:
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
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
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.
• 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.
Also, the phone company can make changes
to its lines, equipment, operations, or proce-

Your telephone connects directly to a modu-

ing 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 up-
date the wiring for you. You must use com-
patible modular jacks that are compliant with
Part 68 of FCC Rules.
MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the phone's base on a desk or
table, mount it on a standard wall plate, or
mount it directly on a wall.
Choose a location that is:

CONNECTING, CHARGING,
AND REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the charg-
ing contacts on the handset and base
about once a month.
The phone comes with a rechargeable nick-
el-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery pack in the hand-
set. Before using your phone, you must
connect the battery pack, then charge it for
about 24 hours.
• If the battery pack becomes weak during
a call, the handset beeps every 3 sec-
onds and Bemý8Wjj[ho flashes. When this
happens, you cannot make a call until
you recharge the battery pack.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover.
• About once a month, fully discharge the
battery by keeping the handset off the
base until Bemý 8Wjj[ho flashes. Other-
wise, the battery pack loses its ability to
fully recharge.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the compart-
ment.
3. Plug the battery pack's connector into
the socket in the compartment, (the con-
nector fits only one way), replace the
battery pack, and replace the cover.
• If the display is blank and the phone
does not work, recharge the battery
pack. (The battery power might be too
low to light the display.)
To charge the battery pack, place the hand-
set either faceup or facedown on the base.
• 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 CHARGE/IN USE indicator on the base
lights and JejWb0&& appears.
Important:
Be sure the battery pack is prop-
erly connected before you try to charge it.
The CHARGE/IN USE indicator lights when
the handset is on the base even if the battery
pack is not properly connected.
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.
Recharge the battery pack when Bemý8Wjj[ho
flashes.
Notes:
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery pack,
the phone might not work and you might

promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it

ˆ Troubleshooting
We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you do, these suggestions
might help.

DELETE/CH
to change the channel.
Severe noise interference.
Press
Keep the handset away from computers, remote control
toys, wireless microphones, alarm systems, intercoms,
room monitors, fluorescent lights, and electrical appli-
ances.
Move the handset to another location or turn off the
source of interference.
The phone cannot be operated at a useful
distance from the base because the signal
becomes weak or noisy (handset's range
has decreased).
Lift the base's antenna to a vertical position.
Be sure neither antenna is touching a metal surface.
Return the handset to the cradle, and recharge the battery
pack.
Replace the battery pack if necessary.
The phone does not work or works poorly.
The handset battery pack does not charge.
Be sure the base's phone line cord and AC adapter are
correctly and securely connected, and the battery pack is
charged.
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.
Replace the battery pack (see “Connecting, Charging,
and Replacing the Battery Pack” on Page 11).
The handset does not ring or receive a
page.
Be sure the handset ringer is not set to Ringer Off.
Move the handset closer to the base.
Be sure the battery pack is charged. (If the battery power
is too low, it does not have enough power to light the dis-
play.)

Be sure the battery pack is charged. (If the battery power
is too low, it does not have enough power to light the dis-
play.)
If the base loses power while the handset is away, the
security access-protection code might change. Restore
power to the base, then place the handset back on the

that the code is set again.
Check the charging contacts on the handset and base. If
they are dirty, clean them with a pencil eraser.

vice is active.
Cannot receive Caller ID/Call Waiting infor-
mation.
Check that the Caller ID/Call Waiting setting is set to Ed or
