3. The mounting plate has nuts in its  
recessed screw areas. Slide the  
mounting plate off the back of the  
phone holder, taking care not to  
lose the nuts.  
3. Slide a thin, flat object (such as  
your fingernail) under a corner of  
the protective cover on your  
phone’s power socket (on the  
base of the phone) and pull up on  
the cover to remove it. Then con-  
nect the speakerphone’s coil cord  
connector to the socket.  
4. Follow  
the  
same  
process  
described in Steps 1–3 in “Mount-  
ing with the Phone Holder  
Attached” to mount both the  
phone holder and the speaker-  
phone in separate locations, then  
follow Step 4 in that section to  
mount the microphone.  
4. With the phone’s antenna facing  
up and the display facing out,  
slide your phone into the holder  
until it clicks.  
5. Connect the power cable’s barrel  
plug to the DC jack on the speak-  
erphone.  
Making the Connections  
6. Make sure the tip of the power  
cable’s lighter socket connector is  
tightly connected, then insert the  
connector into your vehicle’s ciga-  
rette lighter socket. Your phone  
beeps and turns on its charging  
display to indicate that its battery  
is charging (see the section on  
charging the battery in your  
phone’s Owner’s Manual).  
Caution: To avoid damaging your car  
kit or phone, only use your car kit in  
vehicles that have a negative ground  
chassis and supply a maximum power  
of 14.4 volts.  
1. Connect the microphone’s plug to  
the microphone jack on the bot-  
tom of the speakerphone.  
Caution: Unplug the power cord  
from your vehicle’s cigarette-  
lighter socket when you turn off  
the ignition. This prevents vehicle  
battery drain if you leave the  
phone on when you turn off the  
ignition.  
2. Connect the antenna lead to the  
matching connector on the exter-  
nal antenna’s wire.

Disconnecting Your Phone  
from the Speakerphone  
OPERATION  
With your phone properly mounted  
and connected to the speakerphone,  
you make, answer, and end calls on  
your phone as usual (for example, by  
dialing the number and pressing SEND  
to place the call, and by pressing END  
to end the call).  
Follow these steps to disconnect the  
speakerphone and remove your  
phone from the holder (so you can  
take the phone with you when you  
leave the vehicle, for example).  
1. Hold down the tabs on the side of  
the coil cord connector and pull  
the connector away from the  
phone to unplug it. Your phone’s  
charging display turns off to indi-  
cate that battery charging has  
stopped.  
During a call, simply talk in your nor-  
mal speaking voice. The microphone  
picks up your voice, and you hear the  
caller on the other end of the line  
through the speakerphone.  
To remove the phone from the holder  
at any time (even during a call) and  
operate the phone by hand, firmly  
squeeze then release the buttons on  
the side of the holder so the phone  
pops up slightly, then pick it up. The  
speakerphone automatically turns off  
and you can use the phone as usual.  
2. To release the phone from the  
holder, firmly squeeze then  
release the buttons on the side of  
the holder so the phone pops up  
slightly.  
3. Lift the phone out of the holder.  
Notes:  
• For maximum efficiency, we rec-  
ommend you turn on your phone’s  
Auto Answer feature, so it auto-  
matically answers an incoming  
call after the first ring.  
• Please refer to the telephone’s  
Owner’s Manual for complete  
instructions on the telephone’s  
operation, care and mainte-  
nance, and important safety infor-  
mation.

Modifying or tampering with the  
speakerphone’s internal components  
can cause a malfunction and might in-  
validate your speakerphone’s warran-  
ty. If your speakerphone is not  
performing as it should, take it to your  
local RadioShack store for assistance.  
CARE AND  
MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack Handsfree Speaker-  
phone Car Kit is an example of superi-  
or design and craftsmanship. The  
following suggestions will help you  
care for your speakerphone so you  
can enjoy it for years.  
Checking/Replacing the  
Fuse  
• Keep the speakerphone away  
from dust and dirt, which can  
cause premature wear of parts.  
The speakerphone’s power cable con-  
tains a 2-amp fuse. If your speaker-  
phone stops working properly, follow  
these steps to check/replace the fuse.  
• Keep the speakerphone dry. If it  
gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  
Liquids might contain minerals  
that can corrode the electronic cir-  
cuits.  
1. Disconnect the lighter socket con-  
nector from the vehicle’s lighter  
socket, then unscrew and remove  
the tip on the end of the connec-  
tor.  
• Use and store the speakerphone  
only in normal temperature envi-  
ronments. Temperature extremes  
can shorten the life of electronic  
devices, and distort or melt plastic  
parts.  
2. Pull out and check the fuse. If it is  
blown (or if you are unsure),  
replace it with a new 2-amp, 125V  
fuse (available at your local  
RadioShack store).  
• Handle the speakerphone gently  
and carefully. Dropping it can  
damage circuit boards and cases  
and can cause the speakerphone  
to work improperly.  
Caution:  
Use only a fuse of the  
same type and rating as the one  
supplied with the connector.  
• Wipe the speakerphone with a  
damp cloth occasionally to keep it  
looking new. Do not use harsh  
chemicals, cleaning solvents, or  
strong detergents to clean the  
speakerphone.  
3. Securely screw the tip back on  
the connector.
