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 access-protection code connection between the base and the handset. When power is restored, put the both handsets on the base briefly to restore this connection.

Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 900 MHz Cordless Telephone. Your telephone provides excellent clarity a nd range and integra tes Cal ler ID , Call Waiting ID, and a digita l answeri ng sys tem 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.

We have designed your p hone to conform to federal regulations and you can connect it to most phone lines. However, each devi ce th at yo u con nect 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 ope rati on i s i mp air ed, 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 fro m a touch-tone phon e (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 t o 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 ja ck, you can update the wiring yourself using jacks and adap ters (ava ilabl e at your local RadioShack store or online at RadioShack.com), or have the telephone company update the wiring for you.

Care

If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line work properly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the problem, take your phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

Keep the phone dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environments. Handle the phone carefully; do not drop it. Keep the phone away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.

Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your phone is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

If the trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the phone company can ask you to disconnect your phone until you have resolved the problem.
