INSTRUCTIONS
draw as the phone’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 the RENs. If the
total is more than five (three in rural areas),
your phones might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove one of the devices
from the line.
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. 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 security access-protection code connection between the base and the handset. When power is restored, put the
handset on the base briefly to restore
this connection.
FCC STATEMENT
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of
Rules
. Upon request, you must provide the
phone’s FCC registration number and REN
to your telephone company. These numbers
are on the bottom of the base.
Note:
You must not connect your telephone
to:
FCC
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your phone to conform to
federal regulations and 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
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems

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.
Your phone might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To
determine whether your phone is causing the
interference, turn off your phone. If the interference goes away, your phone is causing it.
Try to eliminate the interference by:
• moving your phone away from the
receiver
• connecting your phone to an AC outlet
that is on a different electrical circuit
from the receiver contacting your local
RadioShack store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the
FCC requires that you stop using your
phone.
Some cordless telephones operate on frequencies that might cause interference to
nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize
or prevent such interference, the base of the
cordless telephone should not be placed
near or on top of a TV or VCR.
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.
ˆ
Features
Your RadioShack 2.4 GHz Cordless Speakerphone combines a 2.4 GHz digital cordless
telephone unit and a digital TAD (Telephone
Answering Device). The 2.4 GHz band
means less interference, clearer sound, and
greater range than other types of cordless
telephones.
The TAD 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 tape-based answering machines:
6
• You can delete indi vidual messages an d
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 TAD from a touch-tone phone (or
from a rotary phone with an optional pocket
tone dialer).

Installation
MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the TAD’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, electri-
cal 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.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 9V DC
!
and delivers at least 350 mA.
Its center tip must be set to positive and
its plug must fit the telephone's
jack. The supplied adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications
could damage the telephone or the
adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the
phone before you connect it to AC
power. If you disconnect the power, disconnect the adapter from AC power
before you disconnect it from the phone.
DC IN 9V
Notes:
• Your telephone connects directly to a
modular telephone line jack. If your
phone line jack is not a modular jack,
you can update the wiring yourself,
using jacks and adapters available at
your local RadioShack store. Or, you
can let the phone company update the
wiring for you.
• The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C (RJ11W for a wall
plate).
On a Desk Top
1. Insert the bracket’s tabs into the base’s
upper tab slots, then press down on the
bracket’s clips and insert them into the
clip slots.
2. Plug one end of the supplied long modular cord into the
back of the base.
3. Plug the modular cord’s other end into a
modular telephone line jack.
4. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel
plug into the
the base.
5. Route the adapter’s cord through the
strain relief slot on the bracket.
6. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
