Your phone 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:
FCC STATEMENT
Your answering system complies with Part
68 of the FCC Rules. You must, upon re-
quest, provide the FCC registration number
and the REN to your phone company. These
numbers are on the bottom of the base.
• Move the phone away from the receiver.
• Use outlets on different electrical circuits
for the phone and the receiver.
You must not connect your system to any of
the following:
Consult your local RadioShack store if the
problem still exists. If you cannot eliminate
the interference, the FCC requires that you
stop using your phone.
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
LIGHTNING
Note:
Your telephone operates on standard
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.
radio frequencies, as allocated by the FCC.
Even though the security access-protection
code prevents unauthorized use of your
phone line, it is possible for other radio units
operating on similar frequencies within a cer-
tain area to unintentionally intercept your
conversations and/or cause interference.
This lack of privacy can occur with any cord-
less phone.
Lightning damage is not common. Neverthe-
less, if you live in an area that has severe
electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug
your system when storms approach to re-
duce the possibility of damage.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Also, the phone company can make changes
to its lines, equipment, operations, or proce-
dures that could affect the operation of this

ˆ Installation
Your system connects directly to a modular
telephone line jack. If your telephone wiring
does not have a modular jack, you can up-
date 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 SYSTEM
You can place the answering system’s base
on a desk or table, or mount it on a standard
wall plate or directly on a wall. Choose a lo-
cation that is:
• near an AC outlet
• near a modular telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
Note:
The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate
jack).
• away from electrical machinery, electri-
cal appliances, metal walls or filing cabi-
nets, wireless intercoms, alarms, and
room monitors

• If the handset’s display is blank and the
phone does not work, recharge the bat-
tery pack. (The battery power might be
too low to light the display.)
CONNECTING, CHARGING,
AND REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
The answering system comes with a re-
chargeable nickel-cadmium battery pack in-
stalled in the handset, but not connected.
Before using your system, 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 Bem 8Wjj[ho flashes. When this
happens, you cannot make another call
on the phone until you recharge the bat-
tery pack.
1. Press down then slide off the battery
compartment cover.
• About once a month, fully discharge the
battery pack by keeping the handset off
the base until Bem 8Wjj[ho flashes. Other-
wise, the battery pack loses its ability to
fully recharge.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the compart-
ment and plug its connector into the
socket in the compartment. The connec-
tor fits only one way.
• If the battery pack is completely dis-
charged or the base loses power while
the handset is away from it, place the
handset on the base to reset the secu-
rity access-protection code. If the hand-
set loses power, recharge the battery
pack.
3. Put the battery pack in the compartment,
then replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, simply place the
handset on the base, facing either up or
down. The base’s CHARGE/IN USE indica-
tor lights.
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
through your local RadioShack store.
Recharge the battery pack when Bem 8Wjj[ho
flashes on the handset’s display.
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.
Note:
To avoid losing memory numbers, in-
Notes:
stall and begin charging the new battery
pack within 2 minutes.
• When you first use the system after
charging or recharging the battery pack,
the phone might not work and you might
hear a five-beep error signal. If this hap-
pens, return the handset to the base for
about 5 seconds. This resets the secu-
rity access-protection code.
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).
If you have trouble replacing the battery, take
the answering system to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the charg-
ing contacts on the handset and the
base about once a month.

Problem
Suggestion
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.
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.
Be sure the battery pack is connected correctly.
Replace the battery pack.
The handset does not ring or
receive a page.
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.)
Move the base away from other electrical devices and
sources of noise.
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 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.
If you still have problems, disconnect the answering system. If other phones on the same line
work properly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the problem, take
your system to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
