3. The mounting plate has nuts in its
recessed screw areas. Slide the
mounting plate off the back of the
phone holder, taking care not to
lose the nuts.
3. Slide a thin, flat object (such as
your fingernail) under a corner of
the protective cover on your
phone’s power socket (on the
base of the phone) and pull up on
the cover to remove it. Then con-
nect the speakerphone’s coil cord
connector to the socket.
4. Follow
the
same
process
described in Steps 1–3 in “Mount-
ing with the Phone Holder
Attached” to mount both the
phone holder and the speaker-
phone in separate locations, then
follow Step 4 in that section to
mount the microphone.
4. With the phone’s antenna facing
up and the display facing out,
slide your phone into the holder
until it clicks.
5. Connect the power cable’s barrel
plug to the DC jack on the speak-
erphone.
Making the Connections
6. Make sure the tip of the power
cable’s lighter socket connector is
tightly connected, then insert the
connector into your vehicle’s ciga-
rette lighter socket. Your phone
beeps and turns on its charging
display to indicate that its battery
is charging (see the section on
charging the battery in your
phone’s Owner’s Manual).
Caution: To avoid damaging your car
kit or phone, only use your car kit in
vehicles that have a negative ground
chassis and supply a maximum power
of 14.4 volts.
1. Connect the microphone’s plug to
the microphone jack on the bot-
tom of the speakerphone.
Caution: Unplug the power cord
from your vehicle’s cigarette-
lighter socket when you turn off
the ignition. This prevents vehicle
battery drain if you leave the
phone on when you turn off the
ignition.
2. Connect the antenna lead to the
matching connector on the exter-
nal antenna’s wire.

Disconnecting Your Phone
from the Speakerphone
OPERATION
With your phone properly mounted
and connected to the speakerphone,
you make, answer, and end calls on
your phone as usual (for example, by
dialing the number and pressing SEND
to place the call, and by pressing END
to end the call).
Follow these steps to disconnect the
speakerphone and remove your
phone from the holder (so you can
take the phone with you when you
leave the vehicle, for example).
1. Hold down the tabs on the side of
the coil cord connector and pull
the connector away from the
phone to unplug it. Your phone’s
charging display turns off to indi-
cate that battery charging has
stopped.
During a call, simply talk in your nor-
mal speaking voice. The microphone
picks up your voice, and you hear the
caller on the other end of the line
through the speakerphone.
To remove the phone from the holder
at any time (even during a call) and
operate the phone by hand, firmly
squeeze then release the buttons on
the side of the holder so the phone
pops up slightly, then pick it up. The
speakerphone automatically turns off
and you can use the phone as usual.
2. To release the phone from the
holder, firmly squeeze then
release the buttons on the side of
the holder so the phone pops up
slightly.
3. Lift the phone out of the holder.
Notes:
• For maximum efficiency, we rec-
ommend you turn on your phone’s
Auto Answer feature, so it auto-
matically answers an incoming
call after the first ring.
• Please refer to the telephone’s
Owner’s Manual for complete
instructions on the telephone’s
operation, care and mainte-
nance, and important safety infor-
mation.

Modifying or tampering with the
speakerphone’s internal components
can cause a malfunction and might in-
validate your speakerphone’s warran-
ty. If your speakerphone is not
performing as it should, take it to your
local RadioShack store for assistance.
CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack Handsfree Speaker-
phone Car Kit is an example of superi-
or design and craftsmanship. The
following suggestions will help you
care for your speakerphone so you
can enjoy it for years.
Checking/Replacing the
Fuse
• Keep the speakerphone away
from dust and dirt, which can
cause premature wear of parts.
The speakerphone’s power cable con-
tains a 2-amp fuse. If your speaker-
phone stops working properly, follow
these steps to check/replace the fuse.
• Keep the speakerphone dry. If it
gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Liquids might contain minerals
that can corrode the electronic cir-
cuits.
1. Disconnect the lighter socket con-
nector from the vehicle’s lighter
socket, then unscrew and remove
the tip on the end of the connec-
tor.
• Use and store the speakerphone
only in normal temperature envi-
ronments. Temperature extremes
can shorten the life of electronic
devices, and distort or melt plastic
parts.
2. Pull out and check the fuse. If it is
blown (or if you are unsure),
replace it with a new 2-amp, 125V
fuse (available at your local
RadioShack store).
• Handle the speakerphone gently
and carefully. Dropping it can
damage circuit boards and cases
and can cause the speakerphone
to work improperly.
Caution:
Use only a fuse of the
same type and rating as the one
supplied with the connector.
• Wipe the speakerphone with a
damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new. Do not use harsh
chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean the
speakerphone.
3. Securely screw the tip back on
the connector.
