• Consult your local RadioShack store or
an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
• If you cannot eliminate the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your phone.
Changes or modifications not expressly ap-
proved by RadioShack may cause interfer-
ence and void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
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.
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.

ˆ Installation
3. Plug the other end of the cord into a
modular phone jack.
SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone on a desk or table,
on a standard wall plate or mount it directly
on a wall. Select a location that is:
On a Wall Plate
1. Plug one end of the supplied short mod-
ular cord into the modular jack on the
back of the phone.
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
2. Route the phone cord through the first
tab, then into the groove leading to the
rectangular space. Secure the cord with
the tabs.
• away from electrical machinery, electri-
cal appliances, metal walls, filing cabi-
nets, wireless intercoms, security
alarms, and room monitors
Your telephone connects directly to a modu-
lar telephone line jack. If your telephone wir-
ing does not have a modular jack, you can
update 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. The telephone cord
and modular plug provided is Part 68 compli-
ant for connecting to the telephone company
network.
3. Plug the other end of the cord into a wall
plate with a modular phone jack. Press
any excess cord into the rectangular
space on the bottom of the system to
keep it out of the way.
Note:
The USOC number of the single-line
jack to be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a
wall plate jack). The USOC number for a
two-line jack is RJ14C (or RJ14W for a wall
plate).
4. Fit the wall plate studs into the keyhole
slots on the bottom of the phone, then
slide the base down to secure it.

Caution:
If you do not plan to use the phone
for a month or more, remove the batteries.
Batteries can leak chemicals that can de-
stroy electronic parts.
5. Plug the other end of the cord into a
modular phone jack.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
CONNECTING THE
HANDSET
Your phone requires four AA batteries (not
supplied) to power the LINE indicators. For
the best performance and longest life, we
recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
To connect the handset to the phone’s base,
plug one end of the supplied coiled cord into
the modular jack on the handset.
Cautions:
Plug the other end into the jack on the side of
the base.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type.
Place the handset in the cradle.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or dif-
ferent types of batteries.
Your local RadioShack store sells a variety
of longer coiled handset cords, which are
useful when you mount the system on a wall.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to lift up the
battery compartment cover, then remove
the cover.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment
as indicated by the polarity symbols (+
and –) marked inside. Be sure each line
compartment has two batteries.
3. Replace and snap the cover into place.
Each LINE indicator requires two batteries
for power. The BATT LOW indicator shows a

For quick recall of numbers for special ser-

numbers in its own memory location.
Notes:
• For security purposes, we recommend
that you do not store private numbers,
such as personal identification numbers
or passwords.
When calling special services, dial the ser-
vice’s main number first. At the appropriate
place in the call, press the appropriate mem-
ory number for the additional numbers you
want to send.
• You cannot erase a number in memory,
but you can replace it by storing a new
one in its place.
• Write the memory location number and
the name associated with that number
on the system’s memory dialing card.
Remove the card’s cover by lifting its
edge.

ˆ Troubleshooting
We do not expect you have any problems with your Two Line Phone, but if you do, try these
suggestions.
Problem
Suggestions
No dial tone
Be sure you pressed down the correct LINE.
Check that the phone line and handset cords are
securely connected.
Line 1 works, but Line 2 does not
Be sure you pressed down the correct LINE.
Check that the line cord is correctly connected to an
RJ14C jack. (RJ14C jacks normally have four visible
wire contacts.)
Check that the batteries are installed. If the batteries
are not installed for Line 2, its indicator will not work.
Low volume or unusual sounds
Someone has picked up another phone on the same
line. Hang up the other phone.
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
Keep the phone dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the phone only in nor-
mal temperature environments. Handle the phone carefully; do not drop it. Keep the phone
away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal 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 assistance. If the trouble is
affecting the telephone lines, the phone company can ask you to disconnect your phone until
you have resolved the problem.
