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 feature records each
caller’s telephone number (and name, if
available inyour 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.
The answering system stores up to 16
minutes, or up to 99 messages without the
use of tapes or tape mechanisms.
This phone’s Dual Band transmission
combines the best of 2.4GHz and 900MHz
technologies, providing enhanced
performance over standard cordless
telephones.
ABOUT CALLER ID
(CID)
This product has a Caller ID with Call
Waiting feature that works with service from
your local phone service provider. Caller ID
with Call Waiting lets you see who's calling
before you answer the phone, even when
you're on another call. You may need to
change your phone service to use this
feature. Contact your phone service provider
if:
• You have both Caller ID and Call
Waiting, but as separate services (you
may need a combined service).
• You have only Caller ID service, or only
Call Waiting service.
• You don't subscribe to any Caller ID or
Call Waiting services.
You can use this product with regular Caller
ID service, and you can use this product's
other features without subscribing to either
Caller ID or combined Caller ID with Call
Waiting service. There are fees for Caller ID
services, and some services may not be
available in all areas.
This product can provide information only if
both you and the caller are in areas offering
Caller ID service, and if both telephone
companies use compatible equipment.
ABOUT TELEZAPPER
The TeleZapper feature in your phone is a
patented device that helps you eliminate
43-3847
many of those annoying telemarketing calls.
The TeleZapper feature covers all the
telephones and answering machines
connected to that line in your home or office.
When you or your answeringmachine pick
up the phone, the TeleZapper emits a
special tone that fools many computerbased dialing systems into thinking your
number is disconnected. Instead of
connecting you to a salesperson, the
computer drops the call and stores your
number as disconnected in its database. As
your number is eliminated from more and
more lists, those annoying computergenerated calls just about stop altogether.
The TeleZapper won’t interfere with
manually dialed calls, or with answering
machines, Caller ID or Call Waiting.
Once you’ve activated the TeleZapper
feature in your phone, if you answer your
telephone and there’s no one there, the
odds are that you just “zapped” a
telemarketer. Aftera few weeks, you’llnotice
that you are receiving fewer and fewer of
these calls.
The TeleZapper even works with your
answering machine to “zap” telemarketers
when you are away or when you prefer not
to answer the phone. When your answering
machine picks up a call for you, the
TeleZapper emits its special tone to “zap”
the telemarketer. We recommend that you
re-record your message and delay speaking
for a few seconds to allow time for the
TeleZapper tone prior to the start of your
recorded message.

FCC STATEMENT
,
r
.
[This phone is Hearing Aid compatible.]
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.
This telephonehas been tested and foundto
comply with all applicable UL and FCC
standards
Your phone complies with Part 68 of FCC
Rules. You must, upon request, provide the
FCC registration number and the REN to
your telephone company. Both numbers are
located on the bottom of the phone.
You must not connect your phone to:
• coin-operated systems
• most electronic key telephone systems
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.
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 bottom
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 inadvance. 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.
If your home has specially wired alarm
equipment connected to the telephone line,
be sure that installing the phone does not
disable your alarm equipment. If you have
questions about what will disable your alarm
equipment, contactyour telephonecompany
or a qualified installer.
SURGE PROTECTION
Your phone has built-in protection circuits to
reduce the risk of damagefrom surges in
telephone lineand power line current. These
protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC
requirements; however, lightning strikingthe
phone or power lines can damage your
phone.
Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest you
unplug your phone when stormsapproach to
reduce the possibility of damage.
INSTALLATION
Your phone 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 68of FCC Rules and the
requirements adopted by the ACTA. The
telephone cordand modularplug providedis
Part 68 compliant for connecting to the
telephone company network.Ô
Selecting a Location
You can place the phone’s base on a desk
or table, or mount it on the standard wall
plate. 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
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.

IMPORTANT
!
• Cordless phones require AC power to
operate. When the power is off, you cannot
make or receive calls using your phone. You
should also hav e 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
security access-protection 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 allocated by the FCC.
• It is possible for other radio units operating
nearby on similar frequencies to
unintentionally intercept your conversation o
cause interference. This possible lack of
privacy can occur with any cordless phone.
!
CAUTION
• You must use a Class 2 power source that
supplies 9V DC and delivers at le ast 400mA
Its center tip must be set to positive and its
plug must fit the phone's 9V DC 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 ACadapter 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.

USING THE TELEZAPPER
®
Programming Instructions
The TeleZapper feature in your phone has
two levels of privacy to help “zap” computer
dialed telemarketing calls. Your phone is
shipped with the basic level of privacy
activated, which will help with the majority of
telemarketing calls. At this level, the
TeleZapper feature will emit a single tone,
which is the first of three (3) tones for the
disconnected signal. The advanced level of
privacy will switch the TeleZapper feature to
all three tones of the disconnected signal
and will “zap” even more telemarketing calls.
Here are instructions to switch from basic to
advanced privacy or to disable the
feature.Ô
1. Lift the handset and press

BAS (basic), ADV
TeleZapper Q&A:
Q. How does the TeleZapper feature work?
A. The TeleZapper uses the technology of
telemarketers’ automatic dialing equipment
against them. When you or your answering
machine pick up a call, the TeleZapper
emits a special tone that “fools” the
computer into thinking your number is
disconnected. Instead of connecting you to
a salesperson, the computer stores your
number as disconnected in its database.
Over time, as your number is removed from
more and more databases, you’ll see a
dramatic decrease in the number of
annoying telemarketing calls you receive.
Q. How do I know when I’ve “zapped” a
telemarketer?
A. If you answer your telephone and there’s
no one there, the odds are that you just
“zapped” a telemarketer. Quite often you will
see the caller ID from such a call is
“unavailable.” After a few weeks, you will
notice that you receive fewer and fewer of
these calls.
Q. Do I need one for each telephone or
telephone jack in my home or office?
A. No. One phone with the TeleZapper
feature covers all telephones and answering
machines connected to the same line
(telephone number). If you have two lines,
you need an additional unit for your other
line.
A. No. The TeleZapper does not interfere
with the operation of yourcomputer, yourfax
machine or other telecommunications or
electronic equipment. It plays the tone briefly
when the line is answered. Then goes to
“sleep” waiting for the next call.
Q.Willitinterferewithmyanswering
machine?
A. No. This is the best way to use your
TeleZapper feature. Let your answering
machine pick up the line. The TeleZapper
feature “zaps” the telemarketer, and you
were not bothered at all! You will need to
delay your message for a few seconds to
allow the tone to play. A caller who wishes to
leave a message on your answering
machine will hear a short tone followed by
your recording.
Q. I have voicemail from the telephone
company. Will it work with this?
A. Yes and No. Your telephone must go “offhook” for the TeleZapper to emit its tone. As
long as you pick up a call, the phone goes
“off-hook” and the TeleZapper emits its tone
to “zap” telemarketers. If, instead, the
telephone company “answers” your calls
through voicemail, your phone does not go
“off-hook” and the TeleZapper cannot emit
its tone. The TeleZapper will not interfere
with the normal operation of your voicemail.
Q. Will the TeleZapper “zap” calls from
anyone other than telemarketers?
A. The TeleZapper is designed to “zap” calls
made by predictive dialer computers by
doing two things: first, by disconnecting
predictive-dialed calls before you can be
connected to a live telemarketer, and,
second, by deleting your phone number
from telemarketingcomputerlists. Whether
the TeleZapper will affect computer-dialed
calls from other sources depends on the
type of computer equipment and how that
equipment is being used. Therefore, it may
also “zap” calls from businesses and
organizations that use predictive dialing
systems – not just telemarketers. Many
companies and organizations do not rely
entirelyon computerized calling systems to
reach you. Most have secondary means in
place to contact or notify people with
important information.
Furthermore, these organizations can
always contact you by simply dialing your
phone number manually. Manually dialed
calls will not be zapped. As such, you can
contact businesses and organizations to
determine if they use predictive dialers and,
if so, to ask that your phone number be
manually dialed or that alternate means be
used in order to contact you.
Ô NOTE Ô
• If you do not press any button within about
20 seconds during setup, the display returns
to normal display and the setting remains
unchanged.
•PressOFF at any time to exit programming.
• If you are dialing in pulse (rotary) mode from
another phone sharing the same line, your
TeleZapper feature must be set to either
BASIC or OFF.
• With your TeleZapper feature set to ADV
(Advanced), if your ans wering device
‘answers’ the call befor e you do, the
answering device may not automatically stop
once you’ve answered (if your answering
device has an ‘Auto Stop’ feature). You
wouldneedtopressMAILBOX on this
answering device to return it to the idle, or
sleep mode. With the TeleZapper set to BAS
(Basic), your answering system’s Auto Stop
feature should function normally when you
pick up a call.

SERVICE AND REPAIR
If your phone is not performing as it should,
take it to your local RadioShack store for
assistance. To locate your nearest
RadioShack, use the store locator feature on
RadioShack's website
(www.radioshack.com), or call
1-800-The Shack (843-7422) and follow the
menu options. Modifying or tampering with
the phone's internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate its

make sure you speak in a normal tone
of voice, about nine inches from the
base.
• Make sure there is no “background”
noise (TV, music, etc.) while you are
recording.
