® 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 bat-
tery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions
in your area. RadioShack’s involvement in
this program is part of the company’s com-
mitment to preserving our environment and
conserving our natural resources.
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set PULSE-TONE on the back of the base for
the type of service you have. If you are not
sure which type you have, after you charge
the handset battery pack, do this test.
1. Set PULSE-TONE to TONE .
2. Lift the handset, press TALK , then listen
for a 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 number
either.
If the dial tone stops, you have touch-
tone service. Leave
PULSE-TONE set to
TONE .
If the dial tone continues, you have
pulse service. Set
PULSE-TONE to
PULSE .
4. Press TALK or place the handset on the
base to hang up.
TURNING THE BASE’S
RINGER ON AND OFF
To turn off the base’s ringer, set RINGER on
the back of the base to OFF . You can still
make or receive calls using this phone. Tele-
phones on the same line (and the answering
system’s handset if it is away from the base)
still ring when there is an incoming call.
To turn on the base’s ringer, set RINGER to
ON .
SETTING THE HANDSET’S
RINGER TONE/VOLUME
You can select one of four different ringer
tone/volume settings on the handset. At any
time, except during a call, repeatedly press
VOL/CID
8 8 8 8
or
9 9 9 9
to select the desired ringer
setting. Each time you press VOL/CID
8 8 8 8
or
9 9 9 9
, the phone rings at the selected setting
and
H_d][h H_d][h H_d][h H_d][h 7777 >_]^ >_]^ >_]^ >_]^
,
H_d][h H_d][h H_d][h H_d][h 7777 Bem Bem Bem Bem
,
H_d][h H_d][h H_d][h H_d][h 8888 >_]^ >_]^ >_]^ >_]^
,
or
H_d][h H_d][h H_d][h H_d][h 8888 Bem Bem Bem Bem
appears.
You can also turn off the ringer. At any time,
except during a call, press and hold
VOL/CID
9 9 9 9
until the phone beeps and
2222H_d][hýE\\ H_d][hýE\\ H_d][hýE\\ H_d][hýE\\4444
ap-
pears. When you place the handset faceup
on the base,
2222H_d][h H_d][h H_d][h H_d][h E\\ E\\ E\\ E\\4444
appears.
You can still make or receive a call even
when the ringer is turned off. When you have
an incoming call, any other phone connected
to the same line rings and
?dYec_d] ?dYec_d] ?dYec_d] ?dYec_d] 9Wbb 9Wbb 9Wbb 9Wbb
ap-
pears.
To turn the ringer back on, simply press VOL/
CID
8 8 8 8
or
9 9 9 9
. The ringer resets to
HHHH_d][h _d][h _d][h _d][h 7777
>_]^ >_]^ >_]^ >_]^
.
