INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 2.4 GHz Cordless Telephone. Your phone uses the 2.4 GHz band for less interference and greater range than many other cordless telephones. Its headset jack lets you connect an optional headset for hands-free convenience.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This telephone has be en test ed and foun d to compl y with all applicable UL and FCC standards.

FCC STATEMENT

Your telephone compiles with Part 68 of the FCC Rules.Upon request, you mus t provi de the pho ne’ s FC C registration number and REN to your phone company. These numbers are on the base unit.

Your phone is not intended to be used with party-line systems. Connection to party line servic e is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission, or corporation commission for information.

We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lin es . However, each phone (and 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 on the back of your phone.

If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all of the RENs . If the tot al is more than fiv e (three i n rural areas), your telephones might not ring. If ringer

operation is impaired, remove a device from the line. 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 phone. The telephone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.

You must not connect your phone to:

• coin-operated systems

• most electronic key telephone systems

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is sub jec t to the following tw o c on dit ion s: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may caus e unde sired operat ion. Privacy of communications, may not be ensured wh en using this phone.

SURGE PROTECTION

Your phone has bui lt-i n pr otec ti on c irc ui ts to re duc e t he 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 phone or power lines can damage your phone.

Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you l ive in a n area that has seve re electri cal

storms, we suggest that you unplug your phone when storms approach to reduce the possibility of damage.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:

1. Do not use this p roduct near water, for examp le, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

2. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

3. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

4. Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode . C heck with local codes for possib le sp eci al disposal instructions.

IMPORTANT

• Cordless phones such as this one 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.

• When AC power is lost, the phone loses the digital security code connection between the base and the handset. When power is restored, put the handset on the base briefly to restore this connection so you can use the handset.

• Your phone operates on standard radio frequencies as allocated by the FCC. It is possible for other radio units operating nearby on similar frequencies to unintentionally intercept your conversation or cause interference. This possible lack of privacy can occur with any cordless phone.

Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Ô NOTES Ô

• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.

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

INSTALLATION

You can place the p hone on a desk or table, o r mount i t on a standard wall plate or directly on a wall. Select a location that is: Ô

• 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 ha ndset’ s range. If y ou have a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the best performance. 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 you r lo cal Rad ioShac k sto re or onl ine at RadioShack.com), or have the telephone company update the wiring for you. You must use compatib le modular jacks that a re compliant with Part 68 of FCC Rules and the requirements adapted by the ACTA. The telephone cord and modular plug provided is Part 68 compliant for connecting to the telephone company network. Ô
