INTRODUCTION  
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 900 MHz  
Cordless Telephone. Your telephone provides  
excellent clarity and range and integrates Caller ID,  
Call Waiting ID, and a digital answering system into  
one space-saving device. The 900 MHz band  
provides less interference, clearer sound, and  
greater range than 46/49 MHz cordless telephones.  
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  
The digital answering system provides clear reliable  
messaging with call screening, day/time stamp, call  
counter, remote access and instant skip or replay  
messaging.  
receive calls if there is an  
AC power failure.  
The Caller ID records each caller’s name (if  
When AC power is lost, the  
phone loses the security

base and the handset.  
When power is restored, put

date and time of the call, as provided by your local  
phone company to Caller ID service subscribers.

INFORMATION  
connection.  
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:  
5
 
• caller’s number only  
• caller’s name only  
• caller’s name and number  
If you subscribe to Call Waiting ID 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 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 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.  
The digital answering system stores up to 11  
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:  
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 system from a touch-tone phone (or from  
a rotary phone with a pocket tone dialer).

INSTALLATION  
MOUNTING THE PHONE  
You can place the phone on a desk or table, mount  
it on a standard wall plate, or directly on a wall.  
Choose a location that is: Ô  
CAUTION  
You must use a  
Class 2 power  
source that

• near an AC outlet  
supplies 9V DC and  
delivers at least 350 mA.  
Its center tip must be set  
to positive and its plug  
must fit the phone's DC  
IN 9V jack. The supplied  
adapter meets these  
specifications. Using an  
adapter that does not  
meet these

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).  
Always connect the AC  
adapter to the phone  
before you connect it to  
AC power. When you  
finish, disconnect the  
adapter from AC power  
before you disconnect it  
from the phone.

Using a pencil eraser, clean the charging contacts  
on the handset and the base about once a month.  
If the battery pack is  
completely discharged  
or the base loses power  
while the handset is  
away from it, place the  
handset on the base to  
change the security  
access-protection code.  
If it was the handset that  
lost power, recharge the  
battery pack.  
About once a month, fully discharge the battery  
Low  
pack by keeping the handset off the base until  
Battery  
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 2 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

Recycling Ni-Cd Batteries.  
The EPA certified RBRC® Battery  
Recycling Seal on the nickel-cadmium  
(Ni-Cd) battery indicates RadioShack  
is voluntarily participating in an industry  
program to collect and recycle these  
batteries at the end of their useful life, when taken  
out of service in the United States or Canada. The  
RBRC program provides a convenient alternative to  
placing used Ni-Cd batteries into the trash or the  
municipal waste stream, which may be illegal in  
your area. Please call 1-800-THE-SHACK (1-800-  
843-7422) for information on Ni-Cd battery  
recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your  
area. RadioShack’s involvement in this program is  
part of the company’s commitment to preserving  
our environment and conserving our natural  
resources.

CARE  
Keep the phone dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry  
immediately. Use and store the phone only in  
normal 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.  
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. If your phone is not  
performing as it should, take it to your local  
RadioShack store for assistance.  
If the trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the  
phone company can ask you to disconnect your  
phone until you have resolved the problem.  
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.  
Ô NOTE Ô  
You must not connect your  
telephone to:  
Your phone is not intended to be used with party-  
line 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

most electronic key  
phone systems  
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  
45  
 
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  
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.

Some cordless telephones  
operate on frequencies that  
might cause interference to  
nearby TVs and VCRs. To

interference, the base of

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.
