PROBLEMS?

If You Have Problems

If your DUoFONE-185 is not operating properly, going through this check
list might keep you from spending unnecessary time and money.

1.  Is the phone properly connected?

2.  Is the TONE/PULSE switch set correctly?

3.  If the telephone's volume level drops or it begins to make strange
    sounds, check to see if other phones have been picked up on the same
    line.  This phone might not operate when other phones are active on the
    same line.

Hanging up the other phones should correct the problem.

4.  If numbers are not kept in the memory, replace with fresh batteries and
    store the numbers again.

Use Radio Shack's Alkaline batteries Cat. No. 23-552 for reliable operation

5.  If phone numbers are not auto-dialing properly, replace the batteries.

6.  Be sure the AC adapter is properly installed.

If You Still Have Problems

Disconnect the phone immediately! If other phones on the same line function
properly, the problem is in the phone or its installation. If you are
unable to locate the problem, bring the phone to your local Radio Shack
store for assistance.

The FCC Wants You to Know

It is very unlikely, but if your telephone causes problems on the phone
line, the telephone company has the right to discontinue your service
temporarily.  If this happens, the telephone company will notify you and
give you a chance to have the problem corrected.  Also, the telephone
company has the right to change their lines and/or equipment.  If these
changes affect your telephone or require changes in its connection, the
telephone company will notify you in writing, so you can take the steps
necessary to ensure uninterrupted telephone service.

Lightning

Your Radio Shack telephone has a built-in protection circuit - that meets
or exceeds FCC requirements - to reduce risk of damage from surges in the
telephone line current.  However, an incident such as a lightning strike
near, or directly to, these line might cause an excessive surge of voltage
that can damage the telephone.

Lightning damage is uncommon.  But it can occur in phones and other
electronic devices.  If you are concerned about it or live in an area with
frequent and/or severe electronic storms, we suggest that you unplug
your electronic products during the storms.
