• Consult your local RadioShack store or  
an experienced radio/TV technician for  
help.  
• If you cannot eliminate the interference,  
the FCC requires that you stop using  
your phone.  
Changes or modifications not expressly ap-  
proved by RadioShack may cause interfer-  
ence and void the user’s authority to operate  
the equipment.  
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. 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.

3. Plug the other end of the cord into a  
modular phone jack.  
SELECTING A LOCATION  
You can place the phone on a desk or table,  
on a standard wall plate or mount it directly  
on a wall. Select a location that is:  
On a Wall Plate  
1. Plug one end of the supplied short mod-  
ular cord into the modular jack on the  
back of the phone.  
• near a telephone line jack  
• out of the way of normal activities  
2. Route the phone cord through the first  
tab, then into the groove leading to the  
rectangular space. Secure the cord with  
the tabs.  
• away from electrical machinery, electri-  
cal appliances, metal walls, filing cabi-  
nets, wireless intercoms, security  
alarms, and room monitors  
Your telephone connects directly to a modu-  
lar telephone line jack. If your telephone wir-  
ing 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 up-  
date the wiring for you. You must use com-  
patible modular jacks that are compliant with  
Part 68 of FCC Rules. The telephone cord  
and modular plug provided is Part 68 compli-  
ant for connecting to the telephone company  
network.  
3. Plug the other end of the cord into a wall  
plate with a modular phone jack. Press  
any excess cord into the rectangular  
space on the bottom of the system to  
keep it out of the way.  
Note:  
The USOC number of the single-line  
jack to be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a  
wall plate jack). The USOC number for a  
two-line jack is RJ14C (or RJ14W for a wall  
plate).  
4. Fit the wall plate studs into the keyhole  
slots on the bottom of the phone, then  
slide the base down to secure it.

and properly. Do not burn or bury them.  
Caution:  
If you do not plan to use the phone  
for a month or more, remove the batteries.  
Batteries can leak chemicals that can de-  
stroy electronic parts.  
5. Plug the other end of the cord into a  
modular phone jack.  
INSTALLING THE BATTERY  
CONNECTING THE  
HANDSET  
Your phone requires four AA batteries (not  
supplied) to power the LINE indicators. For  
the best performance and longest life, we  
recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.  
To connect the handset to the phone’s base,  
plug one end of the supplied coiled cord into  
the modular jack on the handset.  
Cautions:  
Plug the other end into the jack on the side of  
the base.  
• Use only fresh batteries of the required  
size and recommended type.  
Place the handset in the cradle.  
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or dif-  
ferent types of batteries.  
Your local RadioShack store sells a variety  
of longer coiled handset cords, which are  
useful when you mount the system on a wall.  
Follow these steps to install batteries.  
1. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to lift up the  
battery compartment cover, then remove  
the cover.  
2. Place the batteries in the compartment  
as indicated by the polarity symbols (+  
and –) marked inside. Be sure each line  
compartment has two batteries.  
3. Replace and snap the cover into place.  
Each LINE indicator requires two batteries  
for power. The BATT LOW indicator shows a

ˆ Memory Operation  
The phone has two types of memory — prior-  
ity and standard — that let you store and dial  
up to 13 phone numbers. You can store up to  
3 phone numbers (up to 16 digits each) in  
priority memory and dial them by pressing a  
single button. You can store up to 10 phone  
numbers (up to 16 digits each) in standard  
memory and dial those numbers by pressing  
two buttons.

For quick recall of numbers for special ser-  
vices (such as alternate long-distance or  
bank-by-phone), you can store each group of  
numbers in its own memory location.  
Notes:  
• For security purposes, we recommend  
that you do not store private numbers,  
such as personal identification numbers  
or passwords.  
When calling special services, dial the ser-  
vice’s main number first. At the appropriate  
place in the call, press the appropriate mem-  
ory number for the additional numbers you  
want to send.  
You cannot erase a number in memory,  
but you can replace it by storing a new  
one in its place.  
• Write the memory location number and  
the name associated with that number  
on the system’s memory dialing card.  
Remove the card’s cover by lifting its  
edge.

ˆ Troubleshooting  
We do not expect you have any problems with your Two Line Phone, but if you do, try these  
suggestions.  
Problem  
Suggestions  
No dial tone  
Be sure you pressed down the correct LINE.  
Check that the phone line and handset cords are  
securely connected.  
Line 1 works, but Line 2 does not  
Be sure you pressed down the correct LINE.  
Check that the line cord is correctly connected to an  
RJ14C jack. (RJ14C jacks normally have four visible  
wire contacts.)  
Check that the batteries are installed. If the batteries  
are not installed for Line 2, its indicator will not work.  
Low volume or unusual sounds  
Someone has picked up another phone on the same  
line. Hang up the other phone.  
If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line work proper-  
ly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the problem, take the phone to  
your local RadioShack store for assistance.  
CARE  
Keep the phone dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the phone only in nor-  
mal temperature environments. Handle the phone carefully; do not drop it. Keep the phone  
away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.  
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal components can cause a malfunction and  
might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your phone is not  
performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is  
affecting the telephone lines, the phone company can ask you to disconnect your phone until  
you have resolved the problem.
