• most electronic key telephone systems
As an ENERGYSTAR Partner, RadioShack Corporation has determined that this product meets the E for energy efficiency.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This telephone has been tested and found to comply with all applicable UL and FCC standards.
FCC STATEMENT
Your telephone compiles with Part 68 of the FCC Rules.Upon request, you must provide the phone’s FCC 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 service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission, or corporation commission for information. Ô
We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. 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
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.
The lightning symbol is intended to alert you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within this product’s enclosure that might be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. Do not open the product’s case.

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 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.
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.
SURGE PROECTION
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
!
• When AC power is lost, the phone loses the security access­protection code con­nection between the base and the hand-set. 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.
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 2.4 GHz 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.
Cordless phones require AC power to operate. When the power is off, you cannot make or receive calls using your phone. 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.

CAUTION
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.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the phone before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the phone.
Ô NOTE 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
Installation
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
Before using your phone, carefully peel the protective film off the display. The film protects the handset window during shipment and is not necessary for use.
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: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 ling 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.
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 have the telephone company update the wiring for you. You must use compatible modular jacks that are compliant with Part 68 of FCC Rules. Ô

WARNING
o
Dispose of the old battery pack promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it. See “Battery Safety Instructions” on Page 5 for additional information on proper battery handling.
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 15–20 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 ts only one way), then place the battery pack in the compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, place the handset on the base. The indicator on the base lights and appears on the handset display.
Recharge the battery pack when
BBBBaaaatttttttteeeerrrryy
If you have trouble replacing the battery pack, take the phone to your local RadioShack for assistance.
Recharging the Battery Pack
• When you rst 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 the handset to the base for about 3 seconds to change the security access­protection code.

to the base for about 3 seconds.
• If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, the handset beeps every 3 seconds and

• 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.)
• About once a month, fully discharge the battery by keeping the handset off the base until

• The handset loses its security access­protection code if the battery pack is completely discharged. While holding
PAG E, place the handset on the base to
recharge the battery pack and change the code.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the charging contacts on the handset and base about once a month.
• If you are not going to use your phone for an extended period, disconnect the battery pack. This increases the battery pack’s usable life.

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 ts the socket in the battery compartment. You can order a replacement battery pack through RadioShack. Install the new battery pack and charge it for about 15–20 hours.

TONE DIALING SWITCH-OVER
Some telephone companies use equipment that requires pulse dialing (sometimes referred to as rotary dialing).
If you need to enter tone dialing digits, you can switch-over to tone dialing during the call. For example, entering your bank account number after you have called your bank. Ô
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects, press the
