READ THIS BEFORE  
INSTALLATION  
Each device that you connect to the  
phone line draws power from the phone  
line. We refer to this power draw as the  
device’s ringer equivalence number, or  
REN. The REN is on the bottom of the  
phone.  
We recommend you record your  
phone’s serial number here. The num-  
ber is on the bottom of the phone.  
Serial Number __________________  
If you are using more than one phone or  
other device on the line, add up all the  
RENs. If the total is more than five, your  
phones might not ring. In rural areas, a  
total REN of three might impair ringer op-  
eration. If ringer operation is impaired,  
remove a device from the line.

INSTALLING THE SPEAKERPHONE  
To make full use of the Speakerphone’s  
features, you must connect it to two tele-  
phone lines, each with its own telephone  
number. However, you can connect it to  
a single line.  
• If you do not have 2-line phone  
jacks, you can use 1-line modular  
phone jacks or combine two 1-line  
modular phone jacks using a 2-line  
coupler (such as RadioShack Cat.  
No. 279-401, not supplied).  
Notes:  
• The first Speakerphone you connect  
to the phone line is automatically set  
to Extension 11. Any additional  
Speakerphones you connect to the  
phone line will ring until you set its  
extension number (see “Setting the  
Station Extension Numbers” on  
Page 12).  
• You must connect the Speaker-  
phone to the telephone lines before  
you plug in its AC adapter. Other-  
wise, each station will have the  
same extension number and the  
paging and intercom features will  
not work until you properly set all ex-  
tensions (see “Setting the Station  
Extension Numbers” on Page 12).  
• If your phone line jacks are not mod-  
ular jacks, you can update the wiring  
yourself, using jacks and adapters  
available at your local RadioShack  
store. Or, you can have the phone  
company update the wiring for you.  
• The USOC number of the jack to be  
installed is RJ14C (for a 2-line  
phone jack) or RJ11C (for a 1-line  
phone jack).  
• You can connect your Speaker-  
phone directly to a single 2-line  
modular phone jack.

compartment.  
INSTALLING THE  
BACKUP BATTERIES  
The System 212 requires AC power to  
operate. However, if AC power fails or  
you unplug the speakerphone, the three  
AAA backup batteries (not supplied)  
save stored information. We recom-  
mend you use alkaline batteries, such  
as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-555.  
Cautions:  
• Always use fresh batteries of the re-  
quired size and type.  
3. Replace the cover and the screw.  
Cautions:  
• Do not mix old and new batteries,  
different types of batteries (stan-  
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or  
rechargeable batteries of different  
capacities.  
• Always remove old or weak batter-  
ies. Batteries can leak chemicals  
that can destroy electronic parts.  
• Dispose of old batteries promptly  
and properly.  
• Disconnect the System 212 from the  
phone line(s) before replacing the  
backup batteries.  
SELECTING A LOCATION  
Notes:  
You can place the Speakerphone on a  
on a desk top, shelf, or table, or mount it  
on a wall. Select a location that is:  
To avoid losing stored information  
when replacing the batteries, leave  
the AC adapter plugged in, and  
have fresh batteries ready to install  
before removing the old ones.  
• near an AC outlet  
• near the desired telephone line  
jack(s)  
• Replace the batteries when BATT  
appears.  
• out of the way of normal activities  
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove  
the screw from the battery compart-  
ment cover, then remove the cover.  
• away from electrical machinery,  
electrical appliances, metal walls or  
filing cabinets, wireless intercoms,  
alarms, and room monitors  
2. Install three AAA batteries (two in  
the lower slot and one in the upper)  
as indicated by the polarity symbols

In some telephone systems, you must  
dial an access code (9, for example) and  
wait for a second dial tone before you  
can dial an outside number. You can  
store the access code with the phone  
number. However, you must also store a  
pause after the access code to allow the  
outside line time to connect. To enter a  
2-second pause, press PAUSE. For a  
longer pause, press PAUSE additional  
times.  
Testing Stored Emergency  
Numbers  
If you store an emergency service’s  
number (police department, fire depart-  
ment, ambulance) and you choose to  
test the stored number, make the test  
call during the late evening or early  
morning hours to avoid peak demand pe-  
riods. Also, remain on the line to explain  
the reason for your call.  
: You must enter at least one digit  
Note  
before you can store a pause.

USING INTERCOM AND PAGING  
You can call other stations connected to  
the same phone lines using either the in-  
tercom or paging feature.  
1. To use the intercom with the speak-  
erphone, press INTERCOM. INTER-  
COM flashes and the speakerphone  
turns on and sounds a steady tone.  
Using the Speakerphone’s intercom fea-  
ture is like making a telephone call to  
another station. You can have a two-  
way conversation when the called sta-  
tion answers.  
Using the Speakerphone’s paging fea-  
ture is like making public address (PA)  
announcements. You can announce  
your message directly to one or all of the  
stations instead of making the stations  
ring.

set, lift the handset, then press IN-  
TERCOM. INTERCOM flashes and  
you hear a steady tone.

sion number (1122) for the station  
you want to call. That station’s inter-  
com indicator blinks rapidly, and that  
station sounds a double ring.  
• If no station answers, your page is  
like making a one-way call.  
• When a station answers, your page  
changes into an intercom call.  
Notes:  
• If the called party does not  
answer your intercom call, you  
can change the intercom call to a  
page to that station by pressing  
PAGE.  
MAKING AN INTERCOM  
CALL  
Before you make an intercom call, check  
the intercom status indicator to be sure  
no one else is using the intercom.

number within 10 seconds after  
pressing INTERCOM, the tele-  
phone sounds two rings and you  
must redial.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
We do not expect you to have any problems with your Speakerphone, but if you do,  
these suggestions might help:  
• Be sure the Speakerphone is properly connected to the telephone line(s).  
• Be sure TONE/PULSE is correctly set.  
• Be sure the AC adapter is properly connected.  
• Be sure you have connected the same telephone number to the same line at ev-  
ery station.  
• Be sure fresh back-up batteries are installed in the Speakerphone.  
• If you have problems completing a call using redial or memory dialing, try manu-  
ally dialing the phone number. You might have made a mistake when you dialed  
or stored the number.  
If you still have problems, disconnect the Speakerphone. If other phones on the same  
line function properly, the problem is in the Speakerphone or its installation. If you are  
unable to locate the problem, take the Speakerphone to your local RadioShack store  
for assistance.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack System 212 Two-Line Speakerphone with Intercom is an example  
of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care  
for the Speakerphone so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the Speakerphone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liq-  
uids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  
Handle the Speakerphone gently and carefully. Dropping it can dam-  
age circuit boards and cases and can cause it to work improperly.  
Use and store the Speakerphone only in normal temperature environ-  
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devic-  
es and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the Speakerphone away from dust and dirt, which can cause  
premature wear of parts.  
Wipe the Speakerphone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it look-  
ing new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong de-  
tergents to clean the system.  
Modifying or tampering with the Speakerphone’s internal components can cause a  
malfunction and might invalidate your Speakerphone’s warranty and void your FCC  
authorization to operate it. If your Speakerphone is not performing as it should, take it  
to your local RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the phone  
lines, the phone company might ask you to disconnect your Speakerphone until you  
have resolved the problem.  
24  
 
43-463.fm Page 25 Friday, August 13, 1999 9:06 AM  
Consult your local RadioShack store if  
the problem still exists.  
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO  
KNOW  
If you cannot eliminate the interference,  
the FCC requires that you stop using  
your phone.  
In the unlikely event that your Speaker-  
phone causes problems on the tele-  
phone line, the telephone company  
attempts to notify you in advance. If ad-  
vance notice is not practical, the tele-  
phone company notifies you as soon as  
possible and advises you of your right to  
file a complaint with the FCC.  
LIGHTNING  
Your Speakerphone has built-in light-  
ning protection circuits to reduce the risk  
of damage from surges in telephone and  
power line current. These protection cir-  
cuits meet or exceed the FCC require-  
ments. However, lightning striking the  
telephone or power lines can damage  
your system.  
Also, the telephone company can make  
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-  
tions, or procedures that could affect the  
operation of this system. The telephone  
company notifies you of these changes  
in advance so you can take the neces-  
sary steps to prevent interruption of your  
telephone service.  
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-  
ertheless, to reduce the possibility of  
damage if you live in an area that has  
severe electrical storms, we recommend  
you unplug the System 212 Speaker-  
phone during lightning storms to reduce  
the possibility of damage.  
Your Speakerphone complies with the  
limits for a Class B digital device as  
specified in Part 15 of FCC Rules.  
These limits provide reasonable protec-  
tion against radio and TV interference in  
a
residential area. However, your  
Speakerphone might cause TV or radio  
interference even when it is operating  
properly. To eliminate interference, you  
can try one or more of the following cor-  
rective measures:  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving  
radio or TV antenna.  
• Increase the distance between the  
Speakerphone and the radio or TV.  
• Use outlets on different electrical cir-  
cuits for the Speakerphone and the  
radio or TV.
