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.  
6. Use caution when installing or modifying  
telephone lines.  
7. Do not affix the AC power supply cord to  
building surfaces with metal fittings.  
8. Unplug the telephone from the wall out-  
let before cleaning. Do not use liquid  
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a  
damp cloth for cleaning.  
LIGHTNING  
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.  
9. Do not use the telephone 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 the telephone on an unsta-  
ble cart, stand, or table. The telephone  
may fall, causing serious damage to the  
product.  
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.  
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  
telephone should never be placed near  
or over a radiator or heat register. This  
telephone should not be placed in a  
built-in installation unless proper ventila-  
tion is provided.  
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, including the following:  
1. Read and understand all instructions.  
12. This telephone should be operated only  
from the type of power source indicated  
on the marking label. If you are not sure  
of the type of power supply to your  
home, consult your local power com-  
pany.  
2. Follow all warnings and instructions  
marked on the product.  
3. Never install telephone wiring during a  
lightning storm.  
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  
power cord. Do not locate the telephone  
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.

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.  
19. Do not use the telephone to report a gas  
leak while in the vicinity of the leak.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
16. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do  
not disassemble the telephone. Take it  
to a qualified service facility when ser-  
vice or repair work is required. Opening  
or removing covers may expose you to  
dangerous voltages or other risks. Incor-  
rect reassembly can cause electric  
shock when the telephone is subse-  
quently used.  
17. Unplug the telephone from the wall out-  
let and refer servicing to qualified ser-  
vices personnel under the following  
conditions:  
• When the power cord plug is damaged  
or frayed.  
• If liquid has been spilled into the prod-  
uct.  
• If the product has been exposed to rain  
or water.  
• If the telephone does not operate nor-  
mally by following the operating instruc-  
tions. Adjust only those controls that are  
covered by the operating instructions  
because improper adjustments of other  
controls may result in damage and will  
often require extensive work by a quali-  
fied technician to restore the product to  
normal operation.  
• If the product has been dropped or the  
cabinet has been damaged.  
• 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.

ˆ Installation  
Installing your phone is easy, but it is impor-  
tant that you follow the instructions in this  
manual in sequence for the telephone to  
work properly.  
wall plate jack). The USOC number of  
the single-line jack to be installed is  
RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate).  
Before actually starting the connections, fol-  
low these steps to plan your system.  
PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM  
1. Identify the number of stations you need  
(maximum of 12).  
To take full advantage of many of the sys-  
tem’s features, you must have four telephone  
lines with separate phone numbers. Howev-  
er, you can choose to connect the system to  
only one, two, or three telephone lines.  
2. Determine which outside lines connect  
to which stations (maximum of 4 per sta-  
tion).  
You can connect the system to two-line mod-  
ular telephone line jacks, or you can connect  
it to single-line jacks. If you use single line  
jacks, you must also use an optional two-line  
coupler available at your local RadioShack  
store.  
3. Decide which stations require a private  
line (see “Setting Private Lines” on  
Page 20).  
Using the System with the SP708  
System  
Notes:  
If you connect this system as a sub-station to  
the SP708 4-Line Phone System (Cat. No.  
43-5708), you can use the SP708’s Auto At-  
tendant answering feature with this system  
as well.  
Your system is for tone lines only. If your  
telephone service is pulse type, check  
with your telephone company about  
changing to tone service.  
Your system connects directly to a mod-  
ular telephone line jack. If your tele-  
phone wiring does not have a modular  
jack, you can update it yourself using  
jacks and adapters available at your  
local RadioShack store, or have the tele-  
phone company update the wiring for  
you. You must use compatible modular  
jacks that are compliant with Part 68 of  
FCC Rules.  
If you do not connect this system to the  
SP708 system, the Auto Attendant indicator  
on your phone will not light, and you will not  
have the Auto Attendant answering system.  
SYSTEM COMMUNICATION  
The system uses Line 1 to transmit informa-  
tion such as system and line use status, and  
up to two simultaneous intercom conversa-  
tions. Lines 1 and 2 must be common to all  
stations. Lines 3 and 4 can be common to all  
or some of the stations.  
• The line that connects the telephone  
jacks to the telephone company's wiring  
must be twisted-pair cable. Otherwise,  
you might experience interference  
(crosstalk) between telephone lines.  
Note:  
If Line 1 is disconnected, you can still  
make and receive phone calls on the other  
lines, but the phones will not work as a sys-  
tem.  
• The USOC number of the two-line jack  
to be installed is RJ14C (or RJ14W for a

Non-Square Configuration/  
Private Line Support  
When all lines are not common, the configu-  
ration is called non-square. Depending on  
which line is connected to which station, you  
can transfer calls on some lines to some sta-  
tions.  
Important:  
If you are using this phone as a  
sub-station to the SP708 phone system (Cat.  
No. 43-5708), and you have the Auto Atten-  
dant feature turned on, the Auto Attendant  
can answer all lines as well.  
The following chart shows a sample non-  
square configuration. In this configuration,  
lines 1 and 2 are common to all stations, and  
lines 3 and 4 are available to groups of sta-  
tions.  
MOUNTING THE SYSTEM  
You can place your phone on a flat surface,  
or mount it on a standard wall plate or direct-  
ly on a wall. Select a location that is near a  
modular telephone line jack and an AC out-  
let, and out of the way of normal activities.  
Stations 11, 16, and 17 have all the lines, so  
these stations can answer all lines. Calls to  
Lines 1 and 2 can be transferred to all sta-  
tions. Calls on Line 3 can be transferred to all  
stations except stations 14 and 15. Calls on  
Line 4 can only be transferred to the stations  
that have Line 4 (stations 11, 16, and 17 in  
the sample chart). If you want to build a non-  
square configuration, we suggest you make  
a planning chart similar to the sample chart  
for easier connection.  
On a Desk  
1. Remove the mounting bracket by sliding  
it toward the narrow end of the bracket

INSTALLING THE BACKUP  
BATTERIES  
Your system requires four AA batteries (not  
supplied) to provide backup power for a few  
hours if AC power fails. The backup batteries  
do not power all the system's features. For  
the best performance and longest life, we  
recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.  
3. Align the bracket’s keyhole slots with the  
wall plate studs, then slide the base  
downward to secure it.  
If the power fails but the backup batteries are  
installed and have power, all data and sys-  
tem information is retained and network com-  
munication is restored.  
On a Wall  
To mount the telephone directly on a wall,  
you need two screws (not supplied) with  
heads that fit into the keyhole slots on the  
15
