CARE

Keep the phone dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store 
the phone only in normal 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.

SERVICE AND REPAIR

If your phone is not performing as it should, take it to your local 
RadioShack store for assistance. To locate your nearest RadioShack, 
use the store locator feature on RadioShack’s website 
(

www.radioshack.com

), or call 1-800-The Shack (843-7422) and follow 

the menu options. 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.

NOTE ABOUT HANDSET-BASE 

REGISTRATION

When you register the handset with the base, unique data is written on 

both

 the base and the handset. The handset registered to one base unit 

cannot be used with other base unit unless the registration data is "de-
registered" with the original base unit. This means the handset must be 
within the range of the original base unit to de-register. If for any reason 
the original base unit is not within the range (or the registration data in 
the original base unit is erased), "Out of Range" error takes place and 
you cannot de-register the handset. 

Should you encounter this trouble, follow these steps to individually de-
register the handset and the base.

1. Remove the handset if it sits on the base. 

2. On the handset, press and hold 

end

 and 

#

 at the same time until you 

hear beep. 

3. Disconnect the AC adapter.

4. While holding 

PAGE

, connect the AC adapter. Keep pressing 

PAGE

until the CHARGE LED starts to blink.

5. Wait about five seconds and place the handset on the base and wait 

until the CHARGE LED stops flashing.
