Installation
• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until the line
indicators flash. Otherwise, the bat-
tery pack loses its ability to fully
recharge.
• If the battery pack is completely dis-
charged or the base loses power
while the handset is away from it,
place the handset on the base to
reset the security access-protection
code. If it was the handset that lost
power, recharge the battery pack.
• The supplied battery pack should
last about one year. When it loses
its ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement battery pack through
your local RadioShack Store (see
Replacing the battery pack.
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set
DIAL MODE
on the back of the base
for the type of service you have. If you
are not sure which type you have, do
this test.
1. Be sure
DIAL MODE
is set to
T
(tone).
2. Press
LINE 1
on the handset. Then
listen for the dial tone.
3. Press any number other than
0
.
Note:
If your phone system requires
that you dial an access code (
9
, for
example) before you dial an outside
number, do not press the access
code either.
If the dial tone stops, that line has
tone service. If the dial tone contin-
ues, that line has pulse service.
4. Press
LINE 2
, listen for the dial tone,
and repeat Step 3.
If you have tone service on both
lines, leave
DIAL MODE
set to
T
.
If you have pulse service on either
line, set
DIAL MODE
to
P
(pulse).
You can use tone services on the
line which supports them by press-
ing

before any other keys.
ADJUSTING THE RINGER
The phone lets you control its base and
handset ringer volumes separately. You
can choose a high or low ringer setting
for the base or the handset.
On the Handset
At any time except during a call, repeat-
edly press
VOLUME
to change the ring-
er’s volume.
On the Base
Set
RING VOL
on the back of the base to
OFF
,
LO
, or
HI
. With
RING VOL
set to
OFF
, the base’s ringer does not sound
when a call is received, but the handset
when it is off the base (and any other
phone connected to the same line) still
rings.
Note:
The
RING VOL
setting on the base
is common to both lines.
