INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 2.4 GHz Cordless Telephone with Answering System. Your telephone provides excellent clarity and range and a digital answering system into one space-saving device. The 2.4 GHz band provides superior audio quality and extended range.
The digital answering system provides clear reliable messaging with call screening, day/time stamp, call counter, remote access and instant skip or replay messaging.
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
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.
Ô NOTE Ô
You must not connect your telephone to:
• coin-operated systems
• most electronic key phone systems
!
Introduction
3
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
FCC Statement
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.
4
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 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
1. Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.
2. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
As an ENERGYSTAR Partner, RadioShack Corporation has determined that this product meets the E guidelines for energy efficiency.
NERGYSTAR
3. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
4. Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

IMPORTANT
!
Cordless phones such as this one require AC power to operate. When the AC power
Installation
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 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.
Ô NOTE 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.
CAUTION
You must use a Class two power source that

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the phone on a desk or table. 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. The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (RJ11W for a wall plate).
