IMPORTANT CALLER ID
INFORMATION
To use the system’s Caller ID and Call Waiting features, 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
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your system to conform
to federal regulations, and you can connect it
to most telephone lines. However, each device that you connect to the phone line draws
power from the phone line. We refer to this
power draw as the device’s ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the
bottom of the base.
If you are using 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 operation is impaired, remove a device from the
line.

FCC STATEMENT
Your answering system complies with Part
68 of the
quest, provide the FCC registration number
and the REN to your phone company. These
numbers are on the bottom of the base.
You must not connect your system to any of
the following:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
FCC Rules
. You must, upon re-
Your phone 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:
• Move the phone away from the receiver.
• Use outlets on different electrical circuits
for the phone and the receiver.
Consult your local RadioShack store if the
problem still exists. If you cannot eliminate
the interference, the FCC requires that you
stop using your phone.
• most electronic key phone systems
Note:
Your telephone operates on standard
radio frequencies, as allocated by the FCC.
Even though the security 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 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.
Also, the phone company can make changes
to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures 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 system when storms approach to reduce the possibility of damage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY

Features
Your RadioShack 2.4 GHz Digital Spread
Spectrum Cordless Telephone and Digital
Answering System uses advanced technology to give you superior audio quality and extended range.
The answering system’s Caller ID unit
records each caller’s telephone number (and
name, if available in your area) and the date
and time of the call, as provided by your local
phone company to Caller ID service subscribers. If you subscribe to Call Waiting and
Caller ID, the answering system can show
you the incoming caller information, even
when you are already talking on the phone.
The answering system stores up to 18 minutes of messages on a computer chip and
records each message’s day and time. This
gives you advanced capabilities over tapebased 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 o perate your answering system from a touch-tone
phone (or from a rotary phone with a pocket
tone dialer).

MOUNTING THE SYSTEM
You can place the answering system’s base
on a desk or table, or 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
The base’s location affects the phone’s
range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the best
performance.
Note:
The handset window has plastic film
on it to protect it during shipment. Carefully
peel off the film before using your phone.
Cautions:
Your system 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

do not receive any Caller ID
information.
The handset battery pack does
not charge.
The handset does not ring or
receive a page.
The handset stops working or
works poorly during a call.
Let the phone ring twice before you answer so the system
has time to record the Caller ID information.
Check that the system is correctly and securely connected.
Call your phone company to verify that your Caller ID service is active.
Check the charging contacts on the handset and base. If
they are dirty, clean them with a pencil eraser.
Be sure the battery pack is connected correctly.
Replace the battery pack.
Move the handset closer to the base.
Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical position.
Be sure the battery pack is charged. (If the battery power
is too low, it does not have enough power to light the display .)
Move the base away from other electrical devices and
sources of noise.
Move the handset closer to the base.
Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical position.
Be sure the battery pack is charged. (If the battery power

If the base loses power while the handset is away, the
security access-protection code might change. Restore
power to the base, then place the handset back on the
base. The CHARGE/IN USE indicator lights, indicating
that the code is set again.
Check the charging contacts on the handset and base. If
they are dirty, clean them with a pencil eraser.
If you still have problems, disconnect the answering system. If other p hones on the same lin e
