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

tions are generally available:

power failure.
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.
LIGHTNING
2. Follow all warnings and instructions
marked on the product.

pany.
4. Never install telephone jacks in wet
locations unless the jack is specifically
designed for wet locations.
13. Do not allow anything to rest on the

where the cord will be stepped on.
5. Never touch uninsulated telephone
wires or terminals unless the telephone
line has been disconnected at the net-
work interface.
14. Do not overload wall outlets and exten-
sion cords as this can result in a risk of
fire or electric shock.
6. Use caution when installing or modifying
telephone lines.
15. Never push objects of any kind into this
product through cabinet slots as they
may touch dangerous voltage points or
short out parts that could result in a risk
of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the product.
7. Do not fix the AC power supply cord to
building surfaces with metal fittings (If
the product has an AC power cord).
8. Unplug this product from the wall outlet
before cleaning. Do not use liquid clean-
ers or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.
16. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do
not disassemble this product. Take it to
a qualified serviceman when service or
repair work is required. Opening or
removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other risks. Incor-
rect reassembly can cause electric
shock when the product is subsequently
used.
9. Do not use this product near water, for
example, near a bath tub, wash bowl,
kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool.
10. Do not place this product on an unstable
cart, stand, or table. The product may
fall, causing serious damage to the
product.
17. Unplug this product from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following condi-
tions:
11. Slots and openings in the cabinet and
the back or bottom are provided for ven-
tilation. To protect it from overheating,
these openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be
blocked by placing the product on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This
product should never be placed near or
over a radiator or heat register. This
product should not be placed in a built-in
installation unless proper ventilation is
provided.

3. Do not open or mutilate the battery
pack. Released electrolyte is corrosive
and may cause damage to the eyes or
skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• If the product exhibits a distinct change
in performance.
18. Avoid using a telephone (other than a
cordless type) during an electrical storm.
There may be a remote risk of electric
shock from lightning.
4. Exercise care in handling the battery
pack in order not to short it with conduct-
ing materials such as rings, bracelets,
and keys. The battery or conductor may
overheat and cause burns.

Check that the phone is correctly and securely connected.
Check with your phone company to verify that your Caller ID service is

If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line work proper-
ly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the problem, take the phone to
your local RadioShack store for assistance.
CARE
To enjoy your Sprint 2.4 GHz Digital Spread
Spectrum Cordless Telephone for a long
time:
• Keep the phone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it
dry immediately.
• Use and store the phone only in normal
temperature environments.
• Handle the phone gently and carefully.
Do not drop it.
• Keep the phone away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occa-
sionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s in-
ternal components can cause a malfunction
and might invalidate its warranty and void
your FCC authorization to operate it. If your
phone is not performing as it should, take it
to your local RadioShack store for assis-
tance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone
lines, the phone company can ask you to dis-
connect your phone until you have resolved
the problem.
