The Basics

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing your RadioShack 5.8 GHz MultiHandset Expandable Cordless Telephone. Unlike other conventional cordless telephones, your telephone supports up to ten handsets on a single telephone line. You can add a handset

to any room in your home or ofce that has an AC outlet. No

more running around the house to answer the phone! You can transfer outside calls to other handsets. 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 digital answering machine stores up to 12 minutes of messages on a computer chip and records day and time information for each message. 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 machine from a touch-tone phone (or from a rotary phone with a pocket tone dialer).

NOTE

Cordless phones require AC power to operate. When the power is off, you cannot make or receive calls by using your phone. We recommend you also have a mobile phone so you can still make and receive calls in the event of an AC power failure.

IMPORTANT

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.

•

The Basics

Important Information

This telephone has been tested and found to comply with all applicable UL and FCC standards.

FCC Statement

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the base of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information,

a product identier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If

requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company. 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.

NOTES

You must not connect your phone to…

coin-operated systems most electronic key telephone systems

•

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should

not exceed ve (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that

may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products approved

after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown

on the label. 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 ve (three in rural

areas), your telephones might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the line.

The Basics

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 in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the phone

company noties you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to le 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 noties 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.

To ensure the safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio frequency energy various products may produce depending on their intended usage. This product has been tested and found to comply with the FCC’s exposure criteria. The FCC RF exposure guidelines were also met when used with the RadioShack accessories supplied or designed for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re or

shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC

SHOCK DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC

SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

The lightning symbol is intended to alert you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within this product’s

enclosure that might be of sufcient magnitude to constitute

a risk of electric shock. Do not open the product’s case.

The exclamation symbol is intended to inform you that important operating and maintenance instructions are included in the literature accompanying this product.

The Basics

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 re, electric

shock and injury to persons, including the following:

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.

Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this

manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a re. They may

explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

The Basics

Important Caller ID Information

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:

caller’s number only caller’s name only caller’s name and number

If you subscribe to Call Waiting and Caller ID, the system can show you the incoming caller information, even when you are already talking on the phone.

Read This Before Installation

We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations when 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.

The Basics

Installation

Before using your phone, carefully peel the protective lm off the display. The lm protects the handset window during shipment

and is not necessary for use.

Selecting a Location

You can place the phone’s base on a desk or table, or mount it on a standard wall plate or directly on a wall. 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 ling cabinets, wireless intercoms, alarms, and room

monitors away from other cordless phones

NOTES

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 qualied installer.

•

The location of the base affects the handset’s range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the best performance.

•

The Basics

The handset antenna is located on the back, above the ringer speaker. For maximum communication range, do not hold the handset in such a way as to cover the antenna by your hand. Also, place the handset in the upright position while not in use so the antenna can pick up the signals from the base.

When there is an obstacle such as a metal or concrete wall between the handset and the base, the operation might be affected. Try to keep the path free from obstructions.

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.

NOTE

The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate jack).

Connecting the Phone Base

Plug one end of the supplied long modular cord into the TEL LINE jack on the bottom of the base.

Plug the other end of the modular cord into a modular phone line jack.

Correct

Incorrect

The Basics

Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug into the DC IN 9V jack on the bottom of the base.

Route the adapter’s cord through the strain relief slot on the base of the phone. Then plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

CAUTION: You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 400 mA (for the base)/210 mA (for the charger). Its center

tip must be set to positive and its plug must t the

phone’s DC IN 9V jack. The supplied adapter meets

these specications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specications could damage the

phone or the adapter.

On a Wall Plate or Wall

To mount the phone directly on a wall, you need two screws (not

supplied) with heads that t into the keyhole slots on the base.

Drill two holes 3 15/16 inches apart. Thread a screw into each hole, letting the heads extend about 1/8 inch.

Plug the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug into the DC IN 9V jack on the bottom of the base.

Route the adapter cord through the base’s groove. Plug one end of the supplied modular cord (short for a wall

plate, long for direct wall mounting) into the TEL LINE jack on the bottom of the base.

The Basics

Insert the two tabs at the bottom of the narrow end of the supplied bracket into the base’s lower tab slots. Then press down on the bracket’s latches and insert them into the upper slots.

Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet. Plug the modular cord’s other end into a modular phone line jack.

For a wall plate, align the base’s keyhole slots with the wall plate studs and slide the base downward to secure it.

For direct wall mounting, route the telephone cord through the bracket’s groove. Then align the base’s keyhole slots with the mounting screws and slide the base downward to secure it.

The Basics

Connecting/Charging the Battery Pack

The phone comes with a rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack in the handset. Before using your phone, you

must connect the battery pack. Then charge it for about 15 - 20

hours.

Press down and slide off the battery compartment cover.

Lift the battery pack out of the compartment.

Plug the battery pack’s connector into the socket in the compartment (the

connector ts only one way).

Then place the battery pack in the compartment.

Replace the cover. To charge the battery pack, place the handset on the base.

The CHARGE indicator on the base lights.

Recharge the battery pack when LOW BATTERY ashes on the

display. If you have any trouble replacing the battery pack, take the phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

Notes on Recharging

If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, LOW BATTERY

ashes. When this happens, you cannot make a call until you

recharge the battery pack.

IMPORTANT: Be sure the battery pack is properly connected before charging. The CHARGE indicator lights when the handset is on the base, even if the battery pack is not connected.

•

The Basics

If the display is blank and the phone does not work, recharge the battery pack. (The battery power might be too low to light the display.) About once a month, fully discharge the battery by keeping the

handset off the base until LOW BATTERY ashes on the display.

Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge. Using a damp cloth, clean the charging contacts on the handset about once a month. If you are not going to use your phone for an extended period, disconnect the battery pack. This increases the battery pack’s usable life. The supplied battery pack should last for about a year. If the battery pack does not hold a charge for more than 2 hours after

an overnight charge, replace it with a new 3.6-volt, 800 mAh battery pack with a connector that ts the socket in the battery

compartment. You can order a replacement battery pack through your local RadioShack store. Install the new battery pack and charge it for

about 15 - 20 hours.

WARNING:

Dispose of the old battery pack promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. Danger! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

•

The Basics

Install the Optional Power Backup Battery in the Base

The battery backup allows you to make and receive calls during a power failure. You can use any handset or the base, just as you would normally.

Push the battery tray on the right side of the base until it clicks.

The lock for the battery tray is released, and the battery tray comes out halfway.

Pull out the battery tray at all the way.

Place the battery pack in the battery tray facing the label of the battery pack downwards so that connectors on the battery and on the tray are aligned.

Push the battery tray back in until it locks up. If it doesn’t lock, pull out the battery tray once more, and retry to push in.

You can order an optional battery pack for power backup (3.6volt, 900 mAh) through your local RadioShack store.

NOTES

appears in the base display as a warning that

the backup battery pack is NOT installed in the base unit. To use the backup battery Feature you need to connect the AC adapter to the base, and charge the base battery for at least 24 hours.

•

The Basics

Installing a Belt Clip

To Attach the Belt Clip

Insert the belt clip into the holes on each side of the handset. Press down until it clicks.

To Remove the Belt Clip

Pull either side of the belt clip to release the tabs from the holes.

Using a Headset

You can make or answer calls handsfree using an optional headset that has a 3/32-inch (2.5-mm) plug. Your local RadioShack store has a variety of headsets available.

To connect the headset, gently ip open

the rubber headset jack cover on the side of the handset. Then insert the headset’s plug into the jack.

Use or on the handset to adjust the headset’s volume.

With a headset connected, you can make or answer calls as usual using the keys on the handset.

When you nish using the headset, disconnect it from the

handset and close the rubber cover to protect the jack.

NOTES

Always place the handset properly on the base whenever you are recharging the handset. You can use a handset holder (available from your local RadioShack store) to hang the handset on your belt for added convenience when using a headset.

installation. If you cannot nd the problem, take the phone to

your local RadioShack store for assistance.

Beyond the Basics

Care

Keep the phone dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the phone only in “room” 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.

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 store, 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 warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it.

Appendix: Handset-Base Registration

When you register the handset with the base, unique data is written on both the base and the handset. The handset registered to one base unit cannot be used with another base unit unless the registration data is “de-registered” with the original base unit. This means the handset must be within the range of the original base unit to de-register. If for any reason the original base unit is not within the range (or the registration data in the original base unit is erased), “OUT OF RANGE” error takes place and you cannot de-register the handset.

Should you encounter this trouble, follow these steps to deregister the handset and register to another base.

1. On the handset, press and hold

and # at the same time

until SYSTEM RESET appears on the display.

Beyond the Basics

2. Move the cursor to select BASE UNAVAILABLE and then press the OK soft key.

3. Move the cursor to select YES, and then press the

OK soft

key.

4. ARE YOU SURE? appears on the display. Move the cursor to select YES, and then press the OK soft key.

5. You will hear a conrmation tone, and the handset deletes

its own base information without contacting the base. The handset displays the message, MODELS VARY! PLACE HANDSET ON THE BASE FOR REGISTRATION OR REFER TO OWNER’S MANUAL.

6. On the base you want to use, disconnect the AC adapter.

7. While holding

END/PAGE, connect the AC adapter. Keep pressing END/PAGE until the CHARGE indicator starts to blink.

8. Place the handset on the base and wait until the

CHARGE

indicator stops ashing.

This erases all the handset registration data on the base, not limited to the handset you placed at Step 8 above. You need to register other handset(s) also if you have more than one. First de-register the handset as in Step 1 and 2 above, and then place it on the base.

If you have trouble with de-registration, take your base and handset (including accessory handset(s) if you have) to your local RadioShack store or call 1-800-The Shack (843-7422) for assistance.

Also, when you request repair or service, please be sure to bring in the entire system (including accessory handset if used) so we can keep your registration data intact.
