• 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.
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 5.8
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 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
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
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.
Ô NOTE Ô
You must not connect your
phone to:
• coin-operated systems
• most electronic key
telephone systems

Important Information
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.
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.

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 cradles on a
desk or table, or mount the base 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 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

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

• Be sure the battery pack
is properly connected
before you try to charge
it. The CHARGE/IN USE or CHARGE
indicator lights when the
handset is on the cradle,
even if the battery pack
is not connected.
!
CONNECTING/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 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 fits only one way). Then
place the battery pack in the
compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, place each
handset on the base or charging cradle. The
CHARGE/IN USE and CHARGE indicators on
the cradles should light up.
Ô
!
Recharge the battery pack when
flashes on the display. Ô
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 both handsets
on the main base.
Using a damp cloth, clean the charging
contacts on the handsets and cradles about
once a month.
!

battery packs by keeping the handsets off
the cradle until
each handset display. 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.
If you have trouble replacing the battery
pack, take the phone to your local
RadioShack for assistance.

Ô NOTES Ô
• The handset should
always sit in the base or
charging cradle face
forward to make good
contact with base unit’s
charge contacts.
• 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
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 both
handsets on the main
base to re-register to the
main base.

Ô NOTES Ô
• When you charge the
handset, the Caller ID
summary screen and the
name of the handset,
HS1 appears.
If HS2 appears, you are
charging handset No.2.

simply an extracharging
device for either
handset.
BEFORE USING, REGISTER
EXTRA HANDSET TO THE
M
AIN BASE UNIT
When the dual handsets are removed from
the packaging, the handset that is placed in
the main base unit first (to charge the
battery for 15-20 hours), will automatically
be registered to the main base unit. (It does
not matter which handset you choose to
place in the main base unit first.) Ô
You will also need to register the extra
handset by placing it on the main base. The
extra handset WILL NOT operate properly
until the registration has been completed.
Once the handset is registered, it is ready
for use.
Installation
12
Follow these simple steps to register:
1. First, install the battery packs in both
handsets. Place either handset in the
main base cradle, then place the extra
handset in the extra charging cradle.
Charge both handsets for 15-20 hours.
2. After fully charging both batteries,
remove the handset in the extra
charging cradle and place it on the
main base cradle. The LED light on the
main base will begin to flash, indicating
that the registration is taking place
between the extra handset and the
main base.
3. Wait for at least five seconds before
removing the handset from the main
base.
Congratulations, the registration has been
completed and your dual handset cordless
phone is ready for use!
