This equipment complies with the limits
for a Class B digital device as specified
in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits
provide reasonable protection against
radio and TV interference in a residential
area. However, your equipment might
cause TV or radio interference even
when it is operating properly. To elimi-
nate interference, you can try one or
more of the following corrective mea-
sures:
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your telephone to
conform to federal regulations, and you
can connect it to most telephone lines.
However, each telephone (and each de-
vice, such as an answering machine)
that you connect to the telephone line
draws power from the telephone line.
We refer to this power draw as the de-
vice’s ringer equivalence number, or
REN. The REN is on the bottom of your
telephone.
• reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna
• increase the distance between the
equipment and the radio or TV
• use outlets on different electrical cir-
cuits for the equipment and the
radio or TV
Consult your local RadioShack store if
the problem still exists.
If you use more than one phone or other
device on the line, add up all of the
RENs. If the total is more than five (or
three in rural areas), your telephones
might not ring. If ringer operation is im-
paired, remove a device from the line.
You must use shielded interface cables
with this equipment.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules. You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number
and the REN to your telephone compa-
ny. Both numbers are on the bottom of
your telephone.

If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line
work properly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the prob-
lem, take your phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

Modifying or tampering with the tele-
phone’s internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate its
warranty and void your FCC authoriza-
tion to operate it. If your telephone is not
performing as it should, take it to your lo-
cal RadioShack store for assistance. If
the trouble is affecting the telephone
lines, the phone company can ask you
to disconnect your telephone until you
have resolved the problem.
3. Insert the new battery pack’s con-
nector into the socket in the com-
partment, place the battery pack into
the compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
If you have trouble replacing the battery
pack, take the phone to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
Cautions:
REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
• You must use a replacement battery
of the same size and type.
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 13, the battery pack should last
about one year. If the battery pack does
not hold a charge for more than 2 hours
after an overnight charge, replace it with
a 600 mAh battery pack with a connec-
tor that fits the socket in the battery com-
partment. You can order a replacement
battery pack through your local Ra-
dioShack store.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a
fire because it might explode.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery.
• Be careful not to short the battery by
touching the connector’s pins with
conducting materials, such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery
pack or conductor might overheat
and burn.

Care
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can temporarily discon-
tinue your service. If this happens, the
phone company attempts to notify you in
advance. If advance notice is not practi-
cal, the phone company notifies you as
soon as possible and advises you of
your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect the
operation of this telephone. The tele-
phone company notifies you of these
changes in advance, so you can take
the necessary steps to prevent interrup-
tion of your telephone service.
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 tele-
phone or power lines can damage your
telephone.
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-
ertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your phone when
storms approach to reduce the possibili-
ty of damage.
