Important Caller ID Information  
To use the phone’s Caller ID and Call  
Waiting with Caller ID features, you  
must be in an area where those services  
are available and you must subscribe to  
those services through your local phone  
company.  
This symbol is intended to inform  
you that important operating and  
maintenance instructions are  
included in the literature accom-  
panying this product.  
Where Caller ID is offered, one or more  
options are generally available:  
!
• caller’s number only  
• caller’s name only  
We have designed your phone to con-  
form to federal regulations, and you can  
connect it to most telephone lines. How-  
ever, each phone (and each device,  
such as a telephone or answering ma-  
chine) that you connect to the telephone  
line draws power from the telephone  
line. We refer to this power draw as the  
device’s ringer equivalence number, or  
REN. The REN is on the bottom of your  
phone.  
• caller’s name and number.  
3
 
If you use more than one phone or other  
device on the line, add up all of the  
RENs. If the total is more than five (or  
three in rural areas), your telephones  
might not ring. If ringer operation is im-  
paired, remove a device from the line.  
phone should not be placed near or  
on top of a TV or VCR.  
• Your cordless phone operates on  
standard radio frequencies, as allo-  
cated by the FCC. Even though your  
phone’s access protection code pre-  
vents unauthorized use of your  
phone line, it is possible for other ra-  
dio units operating on similar fre-  
quencies within a certain area to  
unintentionally intercept your con-  
versations and/or cause interfer-  
ence. This possible lack of privacy  
can occur with any cordless phone.  
Your phone complies with Part 68 of  
FCC Rules. You must, upon request,  
provide the FCC registration number  
and the REN to your telephone compa-  
ny. Both numbers are on the bottom of  
your phone.  
Note: You must not connect your phone  
to:  
• coin-operated systems  
• party-line systems  
FCC STATEMENT  
The phone complies with the limits for a  
Class B digital device as specified in  
Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits pro-  
vide reasonable protection against ra-  
dio and TV interference in a residential  
area. However, your equipment might  
cause TV or radio interference even  
when it is operating properly. To elimi-  
nate interference, you can try one or  
more of the following corrective mea-  
sures:  
• most electronic key telephone sys-  
tems  
Important:  
• Cordless phones such as this one  
require AC power to operate. When  
the AC power is off, you cannot dial  
out or receive incoming calls using  
your phone. For this reason, the  
phone should not be your only tele-  
phone. To be safe, you should also  
have a phone that does not require  
AC power to operate (not a cordless  
phone) so you can still make and re-  
ceive calls if there is an AC power  
failure.  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving  
antenna.  
• Increase the distance between the  
equipment and the radio or TV.  
• Use outlets on different electrical cir-  
cuits for the equipment and the ra-  
dio or TV.  
• Some cordless phones operate at  
frequencies that might cause inter-  
ference to nearby TVs and VCRs.  
To minimize or prevent such interfer-  
ence, the base of the cordless  
Consult your local RadioShack store if  
the problem still exists.

INSTALLATION  
nect the adapter from AC power be-  
fore you disconnect it from the  
phone.  
MOUNTING THE PHONE  
You can place the phone on a desk or  
table, mount it on a standard wall plate,  
or mount it directly on a wall.  
Note: Your telephone connects directly  
to a modular telephone line jack. If your  
telephone wiring does not have a modu-  
lar jack, you can update the wiring your-  
self using jacks and adapters available  
at your local RadioShack store, or have  
the telephone company update the wir-  
ing for you.  
Select a location that is:  
• near an AC outlet  
• near a telephone line jack  
• out of the way of normal activities  
• away from electrical machinery,  
electrical appliances, metal walls or  
filing cabinets, wireless intercoms,  
alarms, and room monitors  
The USOC number of the jack to be in-  
stalled is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall  
plate jack).  
• away from other cordless phones  
On a Desk, Shelf, or Table  
The base’s location affects the hand-  
set’s range. If you have a choice of sev-  
eral locations, try each to see which  
provides the best performance.  
Follow these steps when you place the  
base on a desk, shelf or table.  
1. Plug one end of the supplied long  
modular cord into the TEL LINE jack  
on the back of the base.  
You can power the phone using the sup-  
plied 9V, 210-mA AC adapter.  
Cautions:  
You must use a Class 2  
power source that supplies  
!
9V DC and delivers at least  
210 mA. Its center tip must be set to  
positive and its plug must fit the  
phone's DC IN 9V jack. The supplied  
adapter meets these specifications.  
Using an adapter that does not meet  
these specifications could damage  
the phone or the adapter.  
2. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s  
barrel plug into the DC IN 9V jack on  
the back of the base.  
• Always connect the AC adapter to  
the phone before you connect it to  
AC power. When you finish, discon-

3. Route the adapter’s cord through  
the strain relief slot on the base.  
4. Plug the modular cord’s other end  
into the wall plate jack, then align  
the base’s keyhole slots with the  
wall plate studs and slide the base  
downward to secure it.  
4. Plug the modular cord’s other end  
into the phone jack.  
5. Plug the adapter into a standard AC  
outlet.  
6. Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical  
position.  
On a Wall Plate or Wall  
1. Plug one end of the supplied short  
modular cord into the TEL LINE jack  
on the back of the base as in “On a  
Desk, Shelf, or Table,” Step 1, on  
Page 6.  
5. Plug the adapter into a standard AC  
outlet.  
6. Press and lift out the handset hold-  
er. Rotate it 180°, then snap it back  
into place so it holds the handset.  
2. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s  
barrel plug into DC IN 9V as in “On a  
Desk, Shelf, or Table,” Step 2, on  
Page 6.  
3. Route the adapter and modular  
cords through the grooves on the  
base.

7. Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical  
position.  
3. Align the base’s keyhole slots with  
the mounting screws and slide the  
base downward to secure it.  
Note: To mount the phone directly on a  
wall, you need two screws (not supplied)  
with heads that fit into the keyhole slots  
on the bottom of the base.  
Follow the steps under “On a Wall Plate  
or Wall” on Page 7, then apply these ad-  
ditional instructions for placement on a  
wall.  
1. Drill two holes 315/16  
3/16  
Inches  
inches (100 mm)  
apart. Then thread  
a screw into each  
hole, letting the  
heads extend about  
3/16 inch (5 mm)  
from the wall.

CONNECTING AND  
CHARGING THE BATTERY  
PACK  
The phone comes with a rechargeable  
nickel-cadmium battery pack in the  
handset. Before using your phone, you  
must connect the battery pack, then  
charge it for about 24 hours.  
2. Plug one end of the supplied long  
modular cord into the TEL LINE jack  
on the back of the base and route  
the adapter cable and modular  
cords through the grooves on the  
base.  
1. Press down and slide off the battery  
pack compartment cover.  
8
 
2. Lift the battery pack out of the com-  
partment.  
Notes:  
• When you first use the phone after  
charging or recharging the battery  
pack, the phone might not work and  
you might hear an error tone when  
you press TALK. Return the handset  
to the base for about 5 seconds to  
reset the security access-protection  
code.  
• If the handset or the base loses  
power, the security access-protec-  
tion code might be lost. To reset the  
code, return the handset to the base  
for about 5 seconds.  
3. Plug the battery pack’s connector in-  
to the socket in the compartment,  
(the connector fits only one way), re-  
place the battery pack, and replace  
the cover.  
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the  
charging contacts on the handset  
and base about once a month.  
To charge the battery pack, place the  
handset either faceup or facedown on  
the base. The CHARGE/IN USE indica-  
tor on the base lights and Total:00  
appears on the handset display.  
• If the battery pack becomes weak  
during a call, the handset beeps ev-  
ery 3 seconds and Low Battery  
flashes. When this happens, you  
cannot make a call until you re-  
charge the battery pack.  
Recharge the battery pack when Low  
Batteryflashes on the display.  
• About once a month, fully discharge  
the battery by keeping the handset  
off the base until Low Battery  
flashes on the display. Otherwise,  
the battery pack loses its ability to  
fully recharge.  
Note: If the CHARGE/IN USE indicator  
flashes when the handset is on the  
base, the battery pack is not connected  
or loosely connected. Reconnect the  
battery pack securely.

• If the display is blank and the phone  
does not work, recharge the battery  
pack. (The battery power might be  
too low to light the display.)  
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, either.  
• If you are not going to use your  
phone for an extended period of  
time, disconnect the battery pack.  
This increases the battery pack’s  
usable life.  
If the dial tone stops, you have  
touch-tone service. Leave DIAL  
MODE set to T.  
If the dial tone continues, you have  
pulse service. Leave DIAL MODE set  
to P (pulse).  
• The supplied battery pack should  
last about a year. When it loses its  
ability to fully recharge, order a re-  
placement battery pack from your  
local RadioShack store (see “Re-  
placing the Battery Pack” on  
Page 25).

CALLER ID OPERATION  
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from  
your phone company, the phone compa-  
ny sends information about the call, as  
well as the time and date, between the  
first and second rings of every call you  
receive.

To review the Caller ID records, lift the  
handset and press CALL ID. The number  
of new Caller ID records, if any, and the  
total number of records appear.  
The phone displays this information af-  
ter the second ring, and it stores up to  
50 Caller ID records for later review. It  
also shows if caller information is un-  
available or if the name and number  
were blocked by the caller (see “Caller  
ID Messages” on Page 20).  
Note: If the handset is faceup on the  
base, it shows the number of Caller ID  
records, so you can see if you have new  
records to review.

AREA CODE  
DIALING NUMBERS FROM  
A CALLER ID RECORD  
When the area code of the received call  
is the same as the one you stored (see  
“Storing Your Area Code” on Page 11),  
the caller ID record does not show the  
area code. If it is different, the record  
shows the area code.  
To dial a local number stored in a Caller  
ID record, recall the record, then press  
TALK. If it is a long distance call, press 1  
(1 appears before the displayed num-  
ber) before you press TALK. If you want  
to add or delete the area code, press 3  
before you press TALK.  
However, you can add or delete the ar-  
ea code on the display. When the record  
is on the display, press 3 to add or de-  
lete the area code. Pressing 3 again de-  
letes or adds the area code.  
Note: If a Caller ID record does not con-  
tain a phone number (if it was blocked  
by the caller, for example) you cannot  
dial from that record.  
When you dial the number or store it into  
memory, the phone dials or stores the  
number as it appears on the display.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack 900 MHz Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless Telephone is an ex-  
ample of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you  
care for your phone so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the phone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might  
contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  
Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environments.  
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-  
age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the phone away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature  
wear of parts.  
Handle the phone gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit  
boards and cases and can cause the phone to work improperly.  
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.  
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your phone’s electronic parts.  
Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.  
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to  
clean the phone.  
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal components can cause a malfunc-  
tion and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If  
your phone 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 phone until you have resolved the problem.

• Be careful not to short the battery  
pack by touching it with conducting  
materials, such as rings, bracelets,  
and keys. The battery pack or con-  
ductor might overheat and burn.  
REPLACING THE  
BATTERY PACK  
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-  
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on  
Page 8, 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.  
If you have trouble replacing the battery  
pack, take the phone to your local Ra-  
dioShack store for assistance.

untarily 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.

involvement in this program is part of the  
company’s commitment to preserving  
our environment and conserving our  
natural resources.  
Install the new battery pack, then charge  
it for about 24 hours.  
1. Press down and slide off the battery  
pack compartment cover.  
2. Lift the battery pack out of the com-  
partment, then gently pull on the  
battery connector to disconnect it.  
3. Insert the new battery pack’s con-

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO  
KNOW  
• You must use a replacement battery  
pack of the same size and type.  
In the unlikely event that your phone  
causes problems on the phone line, the  
phone company can temporarily discon-  
tinue your service. If this happens, the  
phone company attempts to notify you in

• Do not open or mutilate the battery

advance. If advance notice is not practi-  
cal, 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, opera-  
tions, or procedures that could affect the  
operation of this telephone. The tele-  
phone company notifies you of these  
changes in advance, so you can take  
the necessary steps to prevent interrup-  
tion 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 tele-  
phone or power lines can damage your  
telephone.  
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-  
ertheless, if you live in an area that has  
severe electrical storms, we suggest  
that you unplug your phone when  
storms approach to reduce the possibili-  
ty of damage.
