Cordless phones such as
this one require AC power
to operate. When the AC
power is off, you cannot dial
out or receive incoming
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 security

When power is restored, put

Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 900 MHz
Cordless Telephone. Your telephone provides
excellent clarity and range and integrates Caller ID,
Call Waiting ID, and a digital answering system into
one space-saving device. The 900 MHz band
provides less interference, clearer sound, and
greater range than 46/49 MHz cordless telephones.

The digital answering system provides clear reliable
messaging with call screening, day/time stamp, call
counter, remote access and instant skip or replay
messaging.

The Caller ID records each caller’s name (if
available in your area), telephone number, and the
date and time of the call, as provided by your local
phone company to Caller ID service subscribers.

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:

Important Caller ID Information

• 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

the phone.

We have designed your phone to conform to federal
regulations and you can connect it to most phone
lines. However, each device that you connect to the
telephone line draws power from the line. We refer
to this power draw as the phone’s ringer
equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the
bottom of your phone.

If you use more than one phone or other device on
the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more
than five (three in rural areas), your phones might
not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove one
of the devices from the line.

The digital answering system stores up to 16
minutes of messages on a computer chip and
records each message’s day and time. This gives
you advanced capabilities over tape-based
answering machines:

• You can delete individual messages and save
the rest.

• There are no tapes to bother with and no tape
mechanisms to wear out.

The remote operation feature lets you operate your
answering system from a touch-tone phone (or from
a rotary phone with a pocket tone dialer).

You must use a
Class 2 power

source that
supplies 9V DC and
delivers at least 350 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.

You can place the phone on a desk or table, mount
it on a standard wall plate, or directly on a wall.
Choose a location that is:

• near an AC outlet

• near a modular 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

You can try different locations 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 online at
RadioShack.com), 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

installed is RJ11C (RJ11W for a wall plate).
