lar frequencies, within a certain area,  
to inadvertently intercept your conver-  
sations and/or cause interference on-  
your cordless telephone. This lack of  
privacy can occur with any cordless  
telephone.  
READ THIS BEFORE  
INSTALLATION  
We have designed your phone to con-  
form to federal regulations, and you  
can connect it to most phone lines.  
However, each device that you con-  
nect to the phone line draws power  
from the line. We refer to this power  
draw as the device’s ringer equiva-  
lence number, or REN. The REN is  
shown on the bottom of your phone.  
However, your cordless phone is avail-  
able in four different factory-set fre-  
quencies. If you have problems with  
interference, you can exchange your  
phone within 30 days of purchase for  
one that uses a different frequency.  
If you are using more than one phone  
or other device on the line, add up all  
the RENs. If the total is more than five,  
your phone might not ring. In rural ar-  
eas, a total REN of three might impair  
ringer operation. If ringer operation is  
impaired, remove a device from the  
line.  
Warning: To prevent fire or shock haz-  
ard, do not expose this product to rain  
or moisture.  
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 at your local Radio Shack store.  
Or, you can let the phone company up-  
date the wiring for you.  
SELECTING A  
MOUNTING LOCATION  
You can mount the base on a wall  
plate or directly on a wall. Or, you can  
place it on a desk, shelf, or table. Se-  
lect a location that is:  
• The phone company will charge  
you for the installation of the nec-  
essary jacks.  
• Near an AC outlet  
• The USOC number of the jack to  
be installed is RJ11C for a base-  
board jack and RJ11W for a wall-  
plate jack.  
• Near a telephone line jack  
• Out of the way of normal activities  
• Away from computers, remote  
control toys, wireless micro-

alarms and room monitors, fluo-  
rescent lights, electrical machin-  
ery, electrical appliances, metal  
walls, filing cabinets, and other  
large metal objects  
Follow these steps to place the base  
on a desk, shelf, or table.  
For the best reception, you should be  
able to fully extend the base’s antenna  
and place it in a vertical position.  
1. Plug one end of the supplied mod-  
ular cord into the PHONE jack on  
the back of the base.  
2. Plug the modular cord’s other end  
into a modular phone line jack.  
The base’s location affects the phone’s  
range. If you have a choice of several  
locations, try each to see which one  
provides the best performance.  
3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s  
barrel plug into the 12V DC jack on  
the back of the base.  
If the phone line jack is not a modular  
jack, you must update the wiring your-

Caution: You must use a 120V AC/  
12V DC adapter that delivers at least  
200 milliamps. Its plug must correctly  
12V DC  
fit the phone’s  
jack. The sup-  
plied adapter meets these require-  
ments. Using an adapter that does not  
meet these requirements could dam-  
age the phone or the adapter.

PREPARATION  
INSTALLING THE  
CHARGING THE  
HANDSET BATTERY  
HANDSET BATTERY  
Your phone comes with a battery  
which you must install, connect, and  
charge for 15 hours before you use  
your phone for the first time.  
When you install a new battery, set  
POWER to OFF. Then place the hand-  
set on the cradle so the IN USE/  
CHARGE indicator lights and charge  
the battery for about 15 hours.  
To install the battery:  
Recharge the battery when LOW  
BATT on the handset lights.  
1. Slide off the battery compartment  
cover.  
Caution: To avoid damage to the bat-  
tery, always recharge the handset bat-  
tery as soon as LOW BATT lights.  
2. Insert the battery into the compart-  
ment so its connector can reach  
the pins inside the compartment,  
and secure it with the plastic  
strap.  
Notes:  
• You can set POWER to ON while  
the battery charges, but it charges  
more quickly if you set POWER to  
OFF.  
3. Slide the battery’s connector onto  
the pins.  
Caution: The connector only fits  
one way; do not force it. If you  
have difficulty sliding the connec-  
tor onto the pins, turn it over and  
try again.  
• If the IN USE/CHARGE indicator  
does not light when you place the  
handset on the cradle, be sure the  
battery is connected to the pins  
inside the battery compartment,  
and the AC adapter is securely  
connected to the base. Also,  
check the charging contacts on  
4. Replace the cover, then follow the  
instructions under “Charging the  
Handset Battery’’ before you use  
the phone.

the handset and base. If the con-  
nects are dirty or tarnished, gently  
clean them with a pencil eraser.  
SETTING THE DIALING  
MODE  
Set TONE/PULSE on the back of the  
base for the type of service you have.  
If you are not sure which type you  
have, do this test.  
1. Set TONE/PULSE to TONE.  
• About once a month, fully dis-  
charge the battery by keeping the  
handset off the cradle until LOW  
BATT lights, then return the hand-  
set to the cradle and fully  
recharge the battery. If you do not  
fully discharge and recharge the  
battery periodically, it loses its  
ability to fully recharge.  
2. Lift the handset and listen for a  
dial tone.  
3. Press any number other than 0.  
• The first time you use your phone  
after installing a new battery, the  
handset might not work and might  
sound an error tone when you  
press TALK. This might also occur  
when you recharge a battery that  
has been completely discharged.  
If this happens, be sure the hand-  
set is turned on. Then return the  
handset to the cradle for 5 sec-  
onds. This resets the security  
access code.  
If the dial tone stops, you have  
touch-tone service. Leave TONE/  
PULSE set to TONE.  
If the dial tone continues, you  
have pulse service. Set TONE/  
PULSE to PULSE.

Notes:  
To conserve battery power, you  
can turn off the handset’s power  
when you are not making or  
answering a call. The cordless  
phone does not ring when it  
receives an incoming call with the  
handset’s power turned off. How-  
ever, other phones on the same  
line still ring. Set POWER to ON to

TROUBLESHOOTING  
We do not expect you to have any problems with your telephone, but if you do, the  
following suggestions might help. If you still have problems, check other phones on  
the same line to see if they work properly. If they do and the problem does not seem  
to be with your phone service, take your phone to your local Radio Shack store for  
assistance.  
Problem  
Solution  
• Be sure POWER is ON.  
The handset does not  
work.  
• Move the handset closer to the base.  
• Be sure the phone line cord and AC adapter are  
correctly and securely connected.  
• Be sure the battery is charged.  
• Fully extend the base’s antenna vertically.  
• Return the handset to the cradle for 5 seconds,  
then try again.  
• Your phone has a special circuit that protects it  
from static discharge. The circuit turns off the  
handset if it receives a static discharge. Turn the  
handset off for a few seconds to reset this circuit.  
Volume drops or you  
hear unusual sounds.  
• Someone has picked up another phone on the  
same line. Hang up the other phone.  
Call is noisy.  
• Do not mount the base near electrical appliances  
or large metal objects.  
• Hang up and redial the number.  
• Keep the handset away from interference  
sources such as computers, remote control toys,  
wireless microphones, wireless alarm systems,  
wireless intercoms and room monitors, and fluo-  
rescent lights. If the interference is severe, turn  
off the interfering device.  
• Exchange your phone for one with a different  
operating frequency (within 30 days of the date  
of purchase).

4. Replace the battery compartment  
cover.  
REPLACING THE  
BATTERY  
Important: Your telephone contains a  
rechargeable nickel cadmium battery.  
At the end of the battery’s useful life, it  
must be recycled or disposed of prop-  
erly. Contact your local, county, or  
state hazardous waste management  
authorities for information on recycling  
or disposal programs in your area.  
Some options that might be available  
are: municipal curb-side collection,  
drop off boxes at retailers, recycling  
collection centers, and mail back pro-  
grams.  
If you follow the instructions in “Charg-  
ing the Battery,’’ the supplied battery  
should last for over 1 year. When the  
battery loses its ability to fully charge,  
order a 3.6 volt, 300 milliamp battery  
with a connector that fits the connector  
in the battery compartment. You can  
order a replacement battery through  
your local Radio Shack store.  
Install the new battery as described  
below, then charge the battery (see  
“Charging the Battery’’).  
1. Slide off the battery compartment  
cover and loosen the plastic strap  
securing the battery. Then discon-  
nect and remove the old battery.  
THE FCC WANTS YOU  
TO KNOW  
2. Insert the new battery in the com-  
partment and secure it with the  
plastic strap.  
In the unlikely event that your phone  
causes problems on the phone line,  
the phone company can temporarily  
discontinue your service. If this hap-  
pens, the phone company attempts to  
notify you in advance. If advance no-  
tice is not practical, the phone compa-  
ny notifies you as soon as possible and  
advises you of your right to file a com-  
plaint with the FCC.  
Also, the phone company can make  
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-  
tions, or procedures that could affect  
the operation of the phone. The phone  
company notifies you of these changes  
in advance, so that you can take the  
necessary steps to prevent interrup-  
tion of your phone service.  
3. Slide the battery’s connector onto  
the pins inside the compartment.  
Caution: The connector only fits  
one way; do not force it. If you  
have difficulty sliding the connec-  
tor onto the pins, turn it over and  
try again.

Your phone might cause TV or radio  
interference even when it is operating  
properly. To determine whether your  
phone is causing the interference, turn  
off your phone. If the interference goes  
away, your phone is causing the inter-  
ference. Try to eliminate interference  
by:  
LIGHTNING  
Your phone has built-in protection cir-  
cuits to reduce the risk of damage from  
surges in phone line current. These  
protection circuits meet or exceed the  
FCC requirements. However, lightning  
striking the phone lines can damage  
your phone.  
• Moving your phone away from the  
receiver  
Lightning damage is not common.  
Nevertheless, if you live in an area that  
has severe electrical storms, we sug-  
gest that you unplug your phone during  
storms to reduce the possibility of  
damage.  
• Connecting your phone to an AC  
outlet that is on a different electri-  
cal circuit from the receiver  
• Contacting your local Radio  
Shack store for help  
If you cannot eliminate the interfer-  
ence, the FCC requires that you stop  
using your phone.
