INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 2.4 GHz Multi Handset Expandable Cordless Telephone. Unlike other conventional cordless telephones, your telephone supports up to eight handsets on a single telephone line. You can add a handset to any room in your home or office that has an AC outlet. No more running to the other end of the house to answer the phone! You can transfer outside calls to other handsets. If you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller ID, the Caller ID (CID) lets you see who’s calling before you answer the phone, even when you are already talking on the phone.
!
IMPORTANT
!
Cordless phones require AC power to operate. When the power is off, you cannot make or receive calls using your phone. To be safe, you should also have a phone that does not need AC power to operate (not a cordless phone), so you can still make and receive calls if there is an AC power failure.
!
Introduction
Before using your phone, be sure to carefully peel the protective film off the handset’s display window.

Ô NOTE Ô
The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate jack).

ELECTING A LOCATION
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
Ô
" CAUTION "
Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If your telephone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update the wiring yourself using jacks and adapters (available at your local RadioShack store), or
Installing Your Telephone
have the telephone company update the wiring for you. You must use compatible modular jacks that are compliant with Part 68 of FCC Rules.
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.

Ô NOTE Ô
• If you mounted the base on the wall, place the handset with the keypad facing out so the charging contacts make a clean connection to charge the battery pack.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the charging contacts on the handset and base about once a month.
• If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, the handset beeps
LLLLoooowwww BBBBaaaatttttttteeeerrrryy
and appears. You must recharge the battery pack before you can make another call.
• About once a month, fully discharge the battery by keeping the handset off the base until LL

pack through your local RadioShack store. Install the new battery pack and charge it for about 15–20 hours.
If you have trouble replacing the battery pack, take the phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
If you are not going to use your phone for an extended period, disconnect the battery pack to increase its usable life.

You have a total of 100 phonebook locations for memory numbers (including 10 speed dials) and Caller ID messages in the handset's memory. So, for example, if the memory is filled with 80 phonebook records, only 20 Caller ID messages can be stored.
You can also store one number in a separate one­touch speed dial memory.
Each memory number can be up to 20 digits, and each name can be up to 16 characters.
