!
We have designed your 900MHz Cordless
Phone with Call Waiting/Caller ID to conform
to federal regulations, and you can connect it
to most telephone lines. However, each device, such as a telephone or answering machine, 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.
To reduce the risk of fire or

This symbol is intended to alert
you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within
the product’s enclosure that might
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. Do
not open the product’s case.
This symbol is intended to inform
you that important operating and
maintenance instructions are
included in the literature accompanying this product.
!
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 (three in rural areas),
your telephones might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the
line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC
Rules. You must, upon request, provide the
FCC registration number and the REN to
your telephone company. Both numbers are
on the bottom of your telephone.
Note:
You must not connect your telephone
to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key telephone systems
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY

SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone’s base on a desk or
table, or mount it on a standard wall plate or
directly on a wall. Select a location that is:
• near an accessible 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
• away from other cordless phones
The base’s location affects the handset’s
range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the best
performance.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 9V DC

and delivers at least 210 mA.

• If the base loses power for about an
hour while the handset is away from it,
the security access-protection code
might be lost. To reset the code, return
the handset to the base for about 5 seconds.
The handset does not lose its security
access-protection code even if the battery pack is completely discharged.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the charging contacts on the handset and base
about once a month.

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

the battery compartment. You can order
a replacement battery pack through your
local RadioShack store. Install the new
battery pack and charge it for about 24

Caller ID Operation
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone company
sends information about the call, as well as
the time and date, between the first and second rings of every call you receive. The
phone displays this information after the second ring, and it stores up to 20 Caller ID
records for later review. It also shows if the
caller information is unavailable or if the
name and number were blocked by the caller
(see “Caller ID Messages”).
If you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller
ID, you hear a tone through the handset
when a call comes in, then the Caller ID
record appears.
If the phone’s Caller ID memory becomes
full, any new call replaces the oldest call’s
record.
IMPORTANT CALLER ID
INFORMATION
To use the phone’s Caller ID and Caller ID
with Call Waiting features, you must be in an
area where those services are available and
you must subscribe to those services
through your local phone company.
Where Caller ID is offered, one or more options are generally available:
• caller’s number only
• caller’s name only
• caller’s name and number

You have an incoming
call, but do not receive
any Caller ID information.
Move the handset closer to the base.
Lift base’s antenna to a vertical position.
Be sure the battery pack in the handset is connected and charged.

the Caller ID information.
Check that the system is correctly and securely connected.
Check with your phone company to verify that your Caller ID service is active.
If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line work properly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot fi nd the problem, take the phon e to

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.
Modifying or tampering with the telephone’s internal components can cause a malfunctio n an d
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 RadioSha ck store for assistance. If the troubl e

until you have resolved the problem.
