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-

shipment by a piece of film. Carefully peel off  
this film before using your phone for the first  
time.  
Your telephone connects directly to a modu-  
lar telephone line jack. If your telephone wir-  
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:  
Note:  
The USOC number of the jack to be

The base's location affects the phone's  
range. If you have a choice of several loca-  
tions, try each to see which provides the best  
performance.  
Cautions:

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

Return the handset to the base for about  
5 seconds to reset the security access-

Warning:  
Dispose of the old battery pack  
promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it  
(see “Battery Safety Instructions” on Page 5  
for additional information on proper battery  
handling).

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

Suggestion  
Low volume or unusual sounds.  
Someone has picked up another phone on the same line.  
Hang up the other phone.  
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.)

The handset stops working or works poorly  
during a call.  
Move the base away from other electrical devices and  
sources of noise.  
Move the handset closer to the base.  
Lift the base's antenna to a vertical position.  
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  
base. The CHARGE/IN USE indicator lights, indicating  
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.  
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 con-  
nected.  
Call your phone company to verify that your Caller ID ser-  
vice is active.  
Cannot receive Caller ID/Call Waiting infor-  
mation.  
Check that the Caller ID/Call Waiting setting is set to Ed or  
Efj.
