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 device that you
connect to the phone line draws power from the phone line.  This power draw
is the device's ringer equivalence number, or REN.  The REN is shown on the
bottom of your phone. 

If you are using more that one phone or other device on the line, add up 
all the RENs.  If the total is more than five, your phones might not ring. 
In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer operation. 

FCC STATEMENT

This telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules.  You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your phone company. 
Both numbers are on the bottom of you phone.

NOTE:  Your phone operates on standard radio frequencies, as allocated by
       the FCC.  It is possible for other radio units operating nearby on
       similar frequencies to unintentionally intercept your conversation
       or cause interference.  This possible lack of privacy can occur with
       any cordless phone.

NOTE:  You must not connect your phone to any of the following:

       Coin-operated systems 

       Party-line systems 

       Most electronic key phone systems 

For your important records, we urge you to record your phone's serial 
numbers in the space below.  The serial numbers are on the top of the 
handset and on the bottom panel of the base. 

SELECTING A LOCATION

Select a location that is all of the following:

    Near an AC outlet 
    Near a telephone jack 
    Out of the way of normal activities 
    Away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, and metal 
    walls or filing cabinets 
    Away from wireless intercoms, alarms, and room monitors 

The base's location affects the telephone's range.  If you have a choice 
of several locations, try each to see which location gives the best 
performance. 

INSTALLING THE BASE

To install the base, do the following:

1.  Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the TEL LINE jack on
    the back of the base.

2.  Plug the cord's other end into a modular phone line jack.

3.  Insert the supplied AC adapter's barrel plug into the AC IN jack on
    the back of the base.

4.  Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

If the phone jack is not a modular jack, you must update the wiring.  You
can convert the wiring yourself, using jacks and adapters available
at your local Radio Shack store.  Or, you can let the phone company update
the wiring.

NOTE:  The telephone company will charge you for the installation of the
       necessary jack.  The phone company will ask for the USOC number
       of the jack to be installed.  This number is RJ11C.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Follow these steps to install the supplied battery into the handset.

NOTE:  The supplied battery should last for several years. When the battery
       does not fully recharge, order a new one from your local Radio Shack
       store.

1.  Loosen the screw on the battery compartment and slide it in the
    direction of the arrow.

2.  Attach the battery's connector to the connector inside the battery
    compartment.  Then place the battery inside the compartment.

3.  Replace the battery compartment cover and tighten the screw.
