INSTALLATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or
shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain
or moisture.
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.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
!
DO NOT OPEN.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE
COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICE-
ABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING
TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
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.
This symbol is intended to alert
you to the presence of uninsu-
lated dangerous voltage within
the product’s enclosure that might
be of sufficient magnitude to con-
stitute a risk of electric shock. Do
not open the product’s case.
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.
This symbol is intended to inform
you that important operating and
maintenance instructions are
included in the literature accom-
panying this product.
!
Note:
You must not connect your phone to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
IMPORTANT CALLER ID
INFORMATION

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.
• 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

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.
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.
