INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a 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.
Cordless phones require AC power to operate.
When the power is off, you cannot make or
receive calls by 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.
!
IMPORTANT
!
• 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 Information
As an ENERGYSTAR Partner,
RadioShack Corporation has
determined that this product
meets the E
guidelines for energy
efficiency.
NERGYSTAR
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 partyline 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
Ô NOTE Ô
You must not connect your
phone to:
• coin-operated systems
• most electronic key
telephone systems
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.
4
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 equivalence number,
or REN on the back of your phone.
CAUTION.
RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK DO NOT OPEN
!
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT REMOVE COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
!
The exclamation 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.
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.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) This device must
accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Privacy of communications, may not be ensured
when using this phone.
Important Information
SURGE PROTECTION
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 CALLER ID
INFORMATION
To use Caller ID and Call Waiting, 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
If you subscribe to Call Waiting ID and Caller ID,
the system can show you the incoming caller
information, even when you are already talking
on the phone.
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:
• near an accessible AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack

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.

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.

Low Battery
When you first use the phone after charging or
recharging the battery pack, the phone might not
work and you might hear error beeps. If this
happens, place the handset on the base to
change the digital security code.
Using a damp cloth, clean the charging contacts
on both the handset and base about once a
month.
About once a month, fully discharge the battery
pack by keeping the handset off the base until
Low Battery flashes. Otherwise, the battery pack
loses its ability to fully recharge.
The supplied battery pack should last about a
year. If the battery pack does not hold a charge
for more than two hours after an overnight
charge, replace it with a new 3.6V, 600 mAh
battery pack with a connector that fits the socket
in the battery compartment. You can order a
replacement battery pack through your local
RadioShack store (or online at
RadioShack.com). Install the new battery pack
and charge it for about 24 hours.
Ô NOTES Ô
• If the phone does not
work, recharge the
battery pack. (The
battery power might be
too low for the display to
operate.)
• If the battery pack
becomes weak during a
call, the handset beeps
and Low Battery
flashes. When this
happens, you cannot
make a call on the
phone until you recharge
the battery pack.
• If the battery pack is
completely discharged
or the base loses power
while the handset is
away from it, place the
handset on the base to
change the digital
security code. If it was
the handset that lost
power, recharge the
battery pack.
Installation
If you have trouble replacing the battery pack,
take the phone to your local RadioShack for
assistance.

Dispose of the old battery
pack promptly and properly.
Do not burn or bury it. There
is a risk of explosion if
battery is replaced by an
incorrect type. Dispose of

pack is fully charged
before choosing the
dialing mode.
• If your phone system
requires pulse dialing
and you need to send
the DTMF tones for
certain situations during
a call, you may switch
over to tone dialing.
(Refer to “Tone Dialing
Switch-over” on
Page 15.)
CHOOSING THE DIALING MODE
Most phone systems use tone dialing which
sends DTMF tones through the phone lines.
However, some phone systems (such as those in
rural areas) still use pulse dialing. The default
setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing
system, set the mode as follows:
Dialing mode switch is next to the DC IN 9V jack
at the top of the base. Place the switch in the
TONE position for tone dialing, or the PULSE
position for pulse dialing.
If you are not sure of your dialing system, set for
tone dialing. Make a trial call. If the call connects,
leave the setting as is. Otherwise set for pulse
dialing.
