Your RadioShack Big Button Speakerphone  
lets you store up to 13 frequently called tele-  
phone numbers in memory for quick, easy di-  
aling of any stored number. Its features  
include:  
In the unlikely event your phone causes  
problems on the phone line, the telephone  
company can disconnect your service. The  
phone company tries to notify you in ad-  
vance. If advance notice is not practical, the  
telephone company notifies you as soon as  
possible and advises you of your right to file  
a complaint with FCC.  
Big Button Keypad — provides easy button  
recognition.  
Built-in Speakerphone — gives you hands-  
free operation.  
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC  
Rules, you must, upon request, provide the  
FCC registration numbers and the REN to  
your telephone company. Both numbers are  
shown on the bottom of the telephone.  
13 Memory Locations — allows quick, easy  
dialing of frequently called numbers.  
Ring Indicator — a lighted bar signals an in-  
coming call even if the ringer is turned off.  
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, in-  
cluding interference that may cause undes-  
ired operation.  
Adjustable Ringer and Receiver Volume

volume to the desired level.  
Your telephone is ETL listed to UL standards  
and meets all applicable FCC requirements.  
Note: You must not connect your telephone  
to:  
FCC STATEMENT  
• Coin-operated systems  
We have designed your telephone to con-  
form to federal regulations, and you can con-  
nect it to most telephone lines. However,  
each device that you connect to the tele-  
phone line draws power from the line. We re-  
fer to this power draw as the phone’s ringer  
equivalence number (REN). The REN is on  
the bottom of your phone.  
• Party-line systems  
• Most electronic key telephone systems  
Lightning  
Your telephone has built-in protection circuits  
to reduce the risk of damage from surges in  
(telephone 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.  
If you use more than one phone or other de-  
vice on the line, add up all the RENs. If the  
total is more than five (three in rural areas),  
your phone might not ring. If the ringer oper-  
ation is impaired, remove one of the devices  
from the line.

the phone downward to secure it.  
meet these specifications could damage  
the telephone or the adapter.  
4. Press and lift up the handset holder,  
rotate it 180°, then snap it back so it holds  
the handset.  
• 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 dis-  
connect it from the telephone.  
To mount the phone directly on a wall, in addi-  
tion to the preceding steps, you need two  
screws (not supplied) with heads that fit into  
the keyhole slots on the bottom of the base.  
Plug the barrel plug of the supplied adapter  
into the DC 9V jack at the back of the tele-  
phone. Plug the other end into a nearby AC  
outlet.  
Drill two holes 315/16 inches (100 mm) apart.  
Then thread a screw into each hole, letting the  
5
heads extend about /16 inches (8mm) from  
Setting the Ringer  
the wall.  
If you do not want to hear the phone ring, set  
RINGER to OFF. You can still make calls with  
the ringer off, and you can answer calls if you  
hear another phone on the same phone line  
ring. The bar-shaped ring indicator flashes  
when the phone rings, even when the ringer is  
off. If you want to hear the phone ring, set  
RINGER to HI or LO.  
Substitute the long modular cord for the short  
cord mentioned in step 2.  
Connecting the Handset  
Plug one end of the coiled cord into the modu-  
lar jack on the handset. Then connect it to the  
jack on the left side of the telephone base.  
Setting the Dialing Mode  
Note: Your local RadioShack store sells a va-  
riety of longer coiled handset cords, which are  
especially useful when you mount the phone  
on a wall.  
Set T/P (TONE/PULSE) for the type of service  
you have. If you are not sure which type you  
have, do this simple test.  
Connecting an AC Adapter  
1. Set T/P to T. Lift the handset and listen for  
a dial tone.  
Your telephone operates from telephone line  
power. In some areas, however, the tele-  
phone might not provide enough power to op-  
erate all of your telephone’s features. If the  
volume of the speaker is too low, even with  
the volume control set to its highest level, or if  
the speaker does not work, you need to con-  
nect the supplied AC adapter.  
2. Press any number except 0. If your phone  
requires that you dial an access code (9,  
for example) before you dial an outside  
number, do not press the access code  
number either.  
If the dial tone stops, you have touch-  
tone service. Leave the setting to T.  
Cautions:  
If the dial tone continues, you have pulse  
service. Set T/P to P.  
You must use a Class 2 power  
source that supplies 9V DC and  
!
delivers at least 200 mA. Its  
center tip must be set to positive and its  
plug must fit the telephone's DC 9V jack.  
The supplied adapter meets these speci-  
fications. Using an adapter that does not

Using the Speakerphone  
3. Press the direct memory location (1-3) at  
the top of the phone or the desired stan-  
dard memory location (0-9) using the  
standard keypad.  
You can use the built-in speakerphone in-  
stead of the handset. When you press SPEAK-  
ERPHONE, the indicator lights and the phone  
connects the telephone line. To disconnect  
the telephone line, press SPEAKERPHONE  
again. The indicator goes off.  
Notes:  
• Since pressing STORE does not break the  
dial tone, the phone company “line alert”  
signal may occur when entering longer  
numbers. This does not affect number  
storage.  
If you are using the handset and you want to  
switch to the speakerphone, press SPEAKER-  
PHONE. Return the handset to the cradle.  
To switch from the speakerphone to the hand-  
set, lift the handset. When you lift up the  
handset, the speakerphone turns off automati-  
cally.  
To replace a number in one of the mem-  
ory locations repeat steps 1 through 3.  
During step 2, enter the new number in  
any memory location you wish to change.  
If you decide to change from speakerphone to  
handset operation during redial or memory di-  
aling, let the number completely dial before  
you lift the handset.  
Dialing a Stored Number  
To dial a number stored in direct memory,  
press the desired direct memory location (1-3)  
at the top of the phone.  
Setting the Receiver and Speaker-  
phone Volume  
To dial a number stored in a standard memory  
location, press MEMORY, then the desired  
memory key (0-9).  
Slide RECEIVER VOL to LO/MED/HI as desired  
to adjust the handset receiver volume.  
Chain-Dialing Memory Numbers  
Slide SPEAKER VOL to set the speakerphone  
volume as desired.  
If you frequently use special telephone servic-  
es, you can save time by storing the phone  
number of the service in one memory location  
and the rest of the information, such as a long  
distance number, in another memory location.  
Using Mute  
To temporarily disconnect the speakerphone  
or handset without ending the call, so you can  
talk privately with someone in the room, press  
MUTE. The MUTE indicator lights. To resume  
your call, press MUTE. The MUTE indicator  
goes off.  
To chain-dial, enter the memory location of  
the service number first. Then when the ser-  
vice answers, enter the memory location of  
the other information.  
Note: We recommend you do not store secu-  
rity numbers, such as personal access codes  
for bank-by-phone services, in any memory  
location.  
Storing a Number in Memory  
The telephone has 3 direct and 10 standard  
phone memory storage locations.  
1. With the handset off hook or SPEAKER-  
PHONE on, press STORE.

Using Redial  
You can quickly dial the last number dialed by  
pressing REDIAL/PAUSE when you hear a dial  
tone. The redial number is replaced each time  
you dial a new number. The redial memory  
holds up to 32 digits, to store long distance as  
well as local numbers.  
Note: If you press FLASH while dialing a num-  
ber, only the digits after FLASH are stored in  
redial memory.  
Using Flash  
Many special telephone services, such as Call  
Waiting, require a switchhook signal. The  
FLASH button provides the electronic equiva-  
lent of a switchhook operation.  
For example, if you have Call Waiting, you  
can put a call on hold and take a second in-  
coming call on the same line by pressing  
FLASH.  
Only the digits you dial after you press FLASH  
are stored in redial memory.  
Note: If you do not have any special phone  
services, pressing FLASH might disconnect  
the current call.  
Using Pause  
In some telephone systems, you must dial an  
access code (9, for example) and wait for a  
second dial tone before dialing an outside  
number. When you manually dial a number, or  
when you store a number in memory, you can  
have your telephone pause anywhere during  
the dialing sequence. Simply press REDIAL/  
PAUSE at the desired location.  
When you redial or memory dial a number, the  
telephone pauses for about 3 to 6 seconds at  
the pause entry. For longer pauses, press RE-  
DIAL/PAUSE again.

Modifying or tampering with the telephone’s  
internal components can cause a malfunction  
and might invalidate its warranty and void  
your FCC authorization to operate it. If your  
telephone is not performing as it should, take  
it to your local RadioShack store for assis-  
tance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone  
lines, the phone company can ask you to dis-  
connect your telephone until you have re-  
solved the problem.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
If your telephone is not operating properly, go  
through this checklist.  
Is the phone properly connected?  
Is the T/P switch set correctly?  
If the telephone’s volume level drops or it be-  
gins to make strange sounds, determine 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 (es-  
pecially in areas with low telephone voltage).  
Hang up the other phones to correct the prob-  
lem.  
If any additional telephone devices have been  
added at or about the time this phone’s perfor-  
mance diminished, recalculate the total REN  
for your devices (see “FCC STATEMENT” on  
Page 1).  
If the volume of the speaker is too low, even  
with the volume control set to its highest level,  
or if the speaker does not work, connect the  
supplied AC adapter (see “Connecting an AC  
Adapter” on Page 3).  
When the party on the phone cannot hear  
you, but you can hear them, check the MUTE  
indicator. If the light is on, press MUTE so it is  
off.  
If you still have problems, disconnect the  
phone. If other phones on the same line work  
properly, the fault is in this phone or its instal-  
lation. If you cannot find the problem, take  
your phone to your local RadioShack store for  
assistance.  
CARE  
Keep the telephone dry; if it gets wet, wipe it  
dry immediately. Use and store the telephone  
only in normal temperature environments.  
Handle the telephone carefully; do not drop it.  
Keep the telephone away from dust and dirt,  
and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to  
keep it looking new.
