@ 43-3522.fm Page 3 Thursday, September 20, 2001 8:35 AM This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
* Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
* Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
* Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
* If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires a that you stop using your headset phone. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RadioShack may cause interference and void the user's authority to operate the equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Your headset phone is ETL listed to UL standards and meets all applicable FCC requirements. 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. Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, 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. ie r b

@ 43-3522.fm Page 4 Thursday, September 20, 2001 8:35 AM INSTALLATION Selecting a Location You can place the phone on a desktop, shelf, or table. Select a location that is:
* near an easily accessible AC outlet
* near a telephone line jack
* out of the way of normal activities
* away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal walls, filing cabinets, wireless intercoms, security alarms, and room monitors The base's location affects the phones range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the best performance. Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If your telephone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update the wiring yourself using jacks and adapters (available at your local RadioShack store), or have the telephone company update the wiring for you. You must use compatible modular jacks that are compliant with Part 68 of FCC Rules. Note: The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W fora wall plate jack). Using AC Power Power the headset telephone using the supplied 12V, 200mA AC/DC adapter. Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
/\ power source that sup-
plies 12V DC and deliv-
ers at least 200mA. Its plug must fit the telephone's DC 12V 200mA jack. The supplied adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the telephone or the adapter.
* Always connect the AC adapter to the telephone before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the telephone. Follow these steps to connect the adapter to the telephone. 1. Plug the supplied AC adapters barrel plug into the DC 12V 200mA jack on the back of the base. 2. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet. Connecting the Phone Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the TEL.LINE jack on the back of the base. ie f ES 43-3522.fm Page 5 Thursday, September 20, 2001 8:35 AM |
(Ole Plug the modular cords other end into a modular phone line jack. Piug the supplied AC adapters barrel plug into the DC 12V 200mA jack on the back of the base. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet. Connecting, Charging, And Replacing The Battery Pack The phone comes with a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery pack. You must connect the battery pack and charge it for at least 15 hours before you use the phone for the first time. 1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw on the battery compartment cover, then remove the cover. 2. Plug the battery packs connector into the socket in the compartment
(the connector fits only one way). 3. Replace the cover and secure it with the screw. To charge the battery pack, place the remote keypad on the base. The IN USE/CHARGE indicator. Notes:
* Recharge the battery pack when the TALK/LOW BATT indicator lights.
* When you first use the phone after charging or recharging the battery pack, the phone might not work. Return the remote keypad to the base for about 5 seconds to reset the security access-protection code. About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by keeping the remote keypad off the base until the TALK/LOW BATT indicator lights. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge. If the IN USE/CHARGE indicator does not light when you place the remote keypad on the base, be sure the AC adapter is correctly and securely connected. Also, check the charging contacts on the remote keypad and the base. If the contacts are dirty or tarnished, clean them with a pencil eraser. When the remote keypad is on the base, the IN USE/CHARGE indicator lights even when the battery pack is not connected. If your phone does not work, be sure the battery pack is properly connected. If the battery pack becomes completely discharged or the base loses power while the remote keypad is away from it, place the remote keypad on the base for about 5 seconds to reset the security access-protection code. If the remote keypad loses power,
ee @ 43-3522.fm Page 6 Thursday, September 20,2001 8:35 AM leave it on the base to charge the battery pack.
* If you will not use your phone for a long time, disconnect its battery pack. This helps increase the battery packs life. The supplied battery pack should last about a year. If the battery pack does not hold a charge for more than 2 hours after an overnight charge, replace it with a new 3.6V, 600mAh Ni-
Cd rechargeable battery pack with a connector that fits the socket in the battery compartment. You can order a replacement battery pack through your local RadioShack store. Install the new battery pack, place the remote keypad on the base, and charge the battery for 15 hours before using it. Note: To avoid losing numbers stored in memory, you must install and begin charging the new battery pack within 2 minutes of removing the old one. Warning: Dispose of the old battery pack prompily and properly. Do not burn or bury them. Cautions:
* You must use a replacement battery pack of the same size and type.
* Do not dispose of the battery pack in fire because it might explode.
* Do not open or mutilate the battery pack.
* Be careful not to short the battery pack by touching the conducting materials, such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery pack or conductor might overheat and burn. Important: The EPA certified RBRC Battery Recycling Seal on the nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery indicates RadioShack is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful life, when taken out of service in the United States or Canada. The RBRC program provides a convenient alternative to placing used Ni-Cd batteries into the trash or the municipal waste stream, which may be illegal in your area. Please call 1-800-THE-SHACK (1-800-843-7422) for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling and disposal bans/
restrictions in your area. RadioShacks involvement in this program is part of the companys commitment to preserving our environment and conserving our natural resources. Attaching the Headset Holder Put the headset holder into the slot on the back of the base and slide it into place.
