(430-0681)                 Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 60681

To enjoy your RadioShack 2-Line 900 MHz Cordless Answering Machine for a 
long time:

  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 gently and carefully.  Do not drop it.

  Keep the telephone away from dust and dirt.

  Wipe the telephone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
  new.

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 assistance.  (If the 
trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the phone company can ask you
to disconnect your telephone until you have resolved the problem.)

Replacing the Battery Pack

If you follow the instructions in "Connecting and Charging the Battery 
Pack" in Faxback Doc. # 60676, the battery pack should last about one 
year.  If the battery pack does not hold a charge for more than 2 hours 
after an overnight charge, replace it with a new 3.6 volt, 600 mAh battery 
pack with a connector that fits the socket in the battery compartment. You 
can order a replacement battery pack through your local RadioShack store.

Install the new battery pack as described below, then charge it for about 
24 hours (see "Connecting and Charging the Battery Pack" in Faxback Doc. # 
60676).

Note: To avoid losing memory numbers, install and begin charging the new
      battery pack within 2 minutes.

1.  Press down and slide off the battery pack compartment cover.

2.  Lift the battery pack out of the compartment, then gently pull on the
    battery connector to disconnect it.

3.  Insert the new battery pack's connector into the socket in the
    compartment, place the battery pack into the compartment.

4.  Replace the cover.

If you have trouble replacing the battery, take the phone to your local 
RadioShack store for assistance.

CAUTIONS: You must use a replacement battery of the same size and type.

          Do not dispose of the battery in a fire because it might explode

          Do not open or mutilate the battery.

          Be careful not to short the battery by touching the connector's
          pins with conducting materials, such as rings, bracelets, and
          keys.  The battery pack or conductor might overheat and burn.

IMPORTANT: This telephone can use nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries.
           At the end of a nickel-cadmium battery's useful life, it must
           be recycled or disposed of properly.  Contact your local,
           county, or state hazardous waste management authorities for
           information on recycling or disposal programs in your area. 
           Some options that might be available are: municipal curbside
           collection, drop-off boxes at retailers such as your local
           RadioShack store, recycling collection centers, and mail-back
           programs.

The FCC Wants You to Know

In the unlikely event that your phone causes problems on the phone line, 
the phone company can temporarily discontinue your service.  If this 
happens, the phone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance 
notice is not practical, the phone company notifies you as soon as 
possible and advises you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, 
operations or procedures that could affect the operation of this 
telephone.  The telephone company notifies you of these changes in 
advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption
of your telephone service.

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.  Nevertheless, 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.
