4-Line System Speakerphone
with Caller ID and Headset Jack
You must not connect your phone to:
• coin-operated systems
Also, the phone company can make changes
to its lines, equipment, operations, or proce-
dures that could affect the operation of this
telephone. The telephone company notifies
you of these changes in advance, so you can
take the necessary steps to prevent interrup-
tion of your telephone service.
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
This phone complies with the limits for a
Class B device as specified in Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits provide reasonable
protection in a residential area. However,
your phone might cause TV or radio interfer-
ence even when it is operating properly. To
eliminate interference, you can try one or
more of the following corrective measures.
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.
• Reorient or relocate the TV's receiving
antenna.
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.
• Increase the distance between the tele-
phone and the radio and TV.
• Consult your local RadioShack store if
the problem still exists.
This equipment is capable of providing user
access to interstate providers of operator
services through the use of access codes.
Modification of this equipment by call aggre-
gators to block access to dialing codes is a
violation of the Telephone Operator Con-
sumers Act of 1990.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone causes
problems on the phone line, the phone com-
pany can temporarily discontinue your ser-
vice. If this happens, the phone company
attempts to notify you in advance. If advance
notice is not practical, the phone company
notifies you as soon as possible and advises
you of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.

Features
ˆ Installation
To fully use the phone's features with all 4
lines, you must connect it to four separate
telephone lines, each with its own telephone
number. However, you can choose to con-
nect the phone to only one, two, or three
telephone lines.
• If your phone line jacks are not modular
jacks, you can update the wiring your-
self, or, you can have the phone com-
pany update the wiring for you.
• The USOC number of the two-line jack
to be installed is RJ14C (or RJ14W for a
wall plate jack). The USOC number for a
single-line jack is RJ11C (or RJ11W for
a wall plate jack).
Important:
You must connect the phone to
the telephone lines before you plug in its AC
adapter. Otherwise, each station will have
the same extension number and the paging
and intercom features will not work until you
properly set all extensions (see “Setting Ex-
tension Numbers” on Page 11).
• Jacks, couplers, adapters and other
components are available at your local
RadioShack store.
Notes:
INSTALLING BACKUP
BATTERIES
• If you connect two or more phones, they
must all be connected to the same Line
1 telephone number.
The phone requires AC power to operate.
However, if AC power fails or you unplug the
phone, three AAA backup batteries (not sup-
plied) save stored information. For the best
performance and longest life, we recom-
mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
• The first phone you connect to Line 1 is
automatically set to Extension 11. Any
additional 4-Line System Speaker-
phones you connect to Line 1 continues
to ring and displays EXT 00 until you
set a new extension number (see “Set-
ting Extension Numbers” on Page 11).
Cautions:
• Always use fresh batteries of the
required size and type.
• You can connect your phone directly to
one or two 2-line modular phone jacks.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, differ-
ent types of batteries (standard, alka-
line, or rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities.
• If you do not have 2-line phone jacks,
you can use 1-line modular phone jacks
or combine up to four 1-line modular
phone jacks using 2-line couplers (not
supplied).
• Disconnect the phone from the phone
line(s) before replacing the backup bat-
teries.

Note:
The backup batteries hold the stored
setup selections in memory as long as the
batteries are fully charged. To avoid losing
stored information when replacing the batter-
ies, leave the AC adapter plugged in, and
have fresh batteries ready to install before
removing the old ones.

jack. The supplied
adapter meets these specifications.
Using an adapter that does not meet
these specifications could damage the
phone or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the
phone before you connect it to AC
power. When you finish, disconnect the
adapter from AC power before you dis-
connect it from the phone.
3. Replace the cover and the screw.
On a Desk Top
When BATTappears, replace the batteries.
Follow these steps to place the phone on a
desk, shelf, or table.
Warning:
Dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
1. Remove the mounting bracket from the
bottom of the base by pressing and
holding in both tabs, then gently pulling
the wide end of the bracket and lifting it
off.
Caution:
If you do not plan to use the phone
for a month, remove the batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that can destroy electron-
ic parts.
SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone on a flat surface
such as desk, shelf, or table, or mount it di-
rectly on the wall or on a standard wall plate.
Select a location that is:
