!

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.

Thank you for purchasing the RadioShack
900 MHz Cordless Telephone. Your phone
uses advanced technology to give you
superior audio quality and extended range.
The phone’s Caller ID unit records each
caller’s telephone number (and name, if
available in your area) and the date and time
of the call, as provided by your local phone
company to Caller ID service subscribers. If
you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller ID,
the phone shows you the incoming caller
information, even when you are already
talking on the phone.

Your phone’s other features include:

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:

source that supplies 9V DC

CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE BATTERY
PACK

The phone comes with a rechargeable
nickel-cadmium battery pack in the handset,
but not connected. Before using your phone,
you must connect the battery pack, then
charge it for about 24 hours.

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

2. Lift the battery pack out of the
compartment.

3. Plug the battery pack’s connector into
the socket in the compartment (the
connector fits only one way), then place
the battery pack in the compartment.

4. Replace the cover.

To charge the battery pack, place the
handset either faceup or facedown on the
base. The CHARGE/IN USE indicator on the

sends information about the call, as well as
the time and date, between the first and
second rings of every call you receive. The

second ring, and it stores up to 30 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”).

line to explain the reason for your call.

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

Troubleshooting

Problem Suggestions

The handset does not
ring or receive a page.

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.
Move the base away from other electrical devices.
Let the phone ring twice before you answer so the system has time to record

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 find the problem, take the
phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

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
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.
