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.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTINGTHE 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).

Using a damp cloth, clean the charging contacts on
the handset about once a month.
About once a month, fully discharge the battery
pack by keeping the handset off the base until
TALK/BATT LOW LED flashes. 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.
o
If you have trouble replacing the battery pack, take
the phone to your local RadioShack for assistance.
WARNING
o
Dispose of the old battery
pack promptly and properly.
Do not burn or bury it.
There is a risk of explosion
if battery is replaced by an
incorrect type. Dispose of
used batteries according to
the instructions.

CHOOSINGTHE DIALING MODE
Most phone systems use tone dialing which sends
standard tones through the phone lines. However,
some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as
in rural areas. The default setting is tone dialing.
Depending on your dialing system, set the mode as
follows: Ô
1. Press and hold the
REMOTE until you hear a
confirmation tone.
2. To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press #.
Or to set the dial mode for tone dialing, press
/TONE.
You hear a confirmation tone to indicate the
setting is complete.

Ô NOTES Ô
• Make sure your battery
pack is fully charged
before choosing the
dialing mode.
• If you are not sure of
your dialing system,
make a trial call. If the
call connects, leave the
setting as is, otherwise

• If your phone system
requires pulse dialing
and you need to send
the standard tones for
certain situations during
