phone lets you store frequently called

FCC STATEMENT  
We have designed your telephone to  
conform to federal regulations, and you  
can connect it to most telephone lines.  
However, each device that you connect  
to the telephone line draws power from  
the line. We refer to this power draw as  
the phone’s ringer equivalence number  
(REN). The REN is on the bottom of  
your phone.  
Built-in Speakerphone  
— gives you  
hands-free operation.  
Headset Jack  
— lets you use an option-  
al headset to make or receive calls.  
If you use more than one phone or other  
device on the line, add up all the RENs.  
If the total is more than five (three in ru-  
ral areas), your phone might not ring.  
The ringer operation is impaired, re-  
move one of the devices from the line.  
Privacy  
— lets you temporarily turn off  
the speakerphone and handset micro-  
phone.  
Adjustable Ringer and Receiver Vol-  
ume  
— lets you adjust the ringer and re-  
ceiver’s volume to the desired level.  
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of  
FCC Rules, you must, upon request,  
provide the FCC registration numbers  
and the REN to your telephone compa-  
ny. Both numbers are shown on the bot-  
tom of the telephone.  
Hearing-Aid Compatibility  
— allows  
you to use your telephone with a hearing  
aid that is equipped with a telephone  
switch.  
Your telephone is ETL listed and meets  
all applicable FCC standards.

OPTIONAL AC ADAPTER  
Your telephone operates from telephone  
line power. In some areas, however, the  
telephone line might not provide enough  
power to operate all of your telephone’s  
features. If the speakerphone’s volume  
is too low, even with the volume control  
set to its highest level, or if the speaker-  
phone does not work, you need to con-  
nect the supplied AC adapter.

• This phone might not operate when

unusual sounds, check to see if

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  
problem, take your phone to your local  
RadioShack store for assistance.  
ˆ Care and Maintenance  
To enjoy your telephone for a long time:  
trouble is affecting the telephone lines,  
the phone company can ask you to dis-  
connect your telephone until you have  
resolved the problem.  
• Keep the telephone dry. If it gets  
wet, wipe it dry immediately.  
• Use and store the telephone only in  
normal temperature environments.  
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO  
KNOW  
• Handle the telephone gently and  
carefully. Don’t drop it.  
In the unlikely event that your telephone  
causes problems on the telephone line,  
the telephone company can disconnect  
your service. The telephone company  
attempts to notify you in advance. If ad-  
vance notice is not practical, the tele-  
phone company notifies you as soon as  
possible and advises you of your right to  
file a complaint with FCC.  
• Keep the telephone away from dust  
and dirt.  
• Wipe the telephone with a damp  
cloth occasionally to keep it looking  
new.  
Modifying or tampering with the tele-  
phone’s internal components can cause  
a malfunction and invalidate its warran-  
ty. If your telephone is not performing as  
it should, take it to your local Ra-  
dioShack store for assistance. If the

phone company notifies you of these  
changes in advance, so that you can  
take the necessary steps to prevent in-  
terruption of your telephone service.  
LIGHTNING  
Your telephone has built- in protection  
circuits to reduce the risk of damage  
from surges in (telephone 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  
frequent electrical storms, we suggest  
that you unplug your telephone during  
storms to reduce the possibility of dam-  
age.
