READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION

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. 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 of the RENs. If the
total is more than five (or three in rural ar­eas), your telephones might not ring. If ringer
operation is impaired, remove a device from
the line.

Your phone complies with Part 68 of

Rules

. You must, upon request, provide the
FCC registration number and the REN to
your telephone company. Both numbers are
on the bottom of your phone.

INFORMATION

To use the phone's Caller ID and Call Wait­ing with Caller ID features, you must be in an

you must subscribe to those services

Important Information

You must not connect your phone to:

Important:

• 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. For this reason, the phone
should not be your only telephone. To be
safe, you should also have a phone that
does not require AC power to operate
(not a cordless phone) so you can still
make and receive calls if there is an AC
power failure.

• Some cordless phones operate at fre­quencies that might cause interference
to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize
or prevent such interference, the base of
the cordless phone should not be placed
near or on top of a TV or VCR.

• Your cordless phone operates on stan­dard radio frequencies, as allocated by
the FCC. Even though your phone's
access protection code prevents unau­thorized use of your phone line, it is pos­sible for other radio units operating on
similar frequencies within a certain area
to unintentionally intercept your conver­sations and/or cause interference. This
possible lack of privacy can occur with
any cordless phone.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW

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
notifies you as soon as possible and advises
you of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.

dures that could affect the operation of this
telephone. The telephone company notifies
you of these changes in advance, so you can
take the necessary steps to prevent interrup­tion of your telephone service.

LIGHTNING

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.

FCC STATEMENT

The phone complies with the limits for a
Class B digital device as specified in Part 15

FCC Rules

of
able protection against radio and TV interfer­ence in a residential area. However, your
equipment might cause TV or radio interfer­ence even when it is operating properly. To
eliminate interference, you can try one or
more of the following corrective measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.

• Increase the distance between the
equipment and the radio or TV.

• Use outlets on different electrical circuits
for the equipment and the radio or TV.

Consult your local RadioShack store if the

Features

Your RadioShack Digital 900 MHz Dual Key­pad Cordless Speakerphone operates on the
900 MHz band, which means less interfer­ence, clearer sound, and greater range than
46/49 MHz cordless telephones. The Caller
ID records each caller's telephone number
(and name, if available in your area) and the
date and time of the call. If you subscribe to
Call Waiting with Caller ID service, your
phone shows you the incoming caller infor­mation, even when you are already on the
phone.

MOUNTING THE PHONE

You can place the phone's base on a desk or

mount it directly on a wall.

Choose a location that is:

• near an AC outlet

• near a modular telephone line jack

adapter from AC power before you dis­connect it from the phone.

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

CONNECTING, CHARGING,
AND REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK

The phone comes with a rechargeable nick­el-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery pack in the hand­set. Before using your phone, you must
connect the battery pack, then charge it for
about 24 hours.

1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover.

2. Lift the battery pack out of the compart­ment.

3. Plug the battery pack's connector into
the socket in the compartment, (the con­nector fits only one way), replace the
battery pack, and replace the cover.

To charge the battery pack, place the hand­set either faceup or facedown on the base.

• 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.)

• If you are not going to use your phone
for an extended period of time, discon­nect the battery pack. This increases the
battery pack's usable life.

The supplied battery pack should last 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,
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. Install
the new battery pack and charge it for about

Caller ID Operation

If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone company
sends information about the call, as well as
the time and date, between the first and sec­ond rings of every call you receive. This in­formation appears after the second ring on
both the handset's and the base's displays.
The display also shows if caller information is
unavailable or if the name and number were
blocked by the caller (see “Caller ID Messag­es” on Page 23).

If you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller
ID, you will hear a tone through the handset
when a call comes in, then the Caller ID
record appears. If you want to answer the in-

coming call, press
previous phone conversation, press
again.

The handset has Caller ID memory to store
the information received for up to 50 Caller
ID records for later review. It stores the infor­mation even when you answer the call using
the speakerphone.

If the Caller ID memory becomes full, any
new call replaces the oldest call's record.

The base's NEW CALL indicator also fl as he s
when the phone receives a call with Caller ID
information and you have not yet reviewed it.
Use the handset's Caller ID memory to re­view the information about the calls received.

line.

Before you can use the Call Waiting Options
Services, you must:

• subscribe to the Options service from
your telephone company.

• set the Caller ID/Call Waiting feature to
Opt (see “Turning Caller ID/Call Waiting
On/Off” on Page 13).

Using Call Waiting Options

Note:

The phone beeps five times and exits
the menu mode if you wait more than 20 sec­onds between each keypress.

You hear a soft beep when a call comes in
while you are already on the phone. The dis­play shows the caller name and phone num­ber.
