INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 5.8

GHz Multi Handset 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 office that has an

AC outlet. No more running to the other end

of 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.

Cordless phones require AC power to

operate. When the power is off, you cannot

make or receive calls by using your phone.

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.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Make sure you have received the following

items in the package.

• Base unit (1)

• Handsets (2)

• Charger (1)

• AC adapters (2)

• Telephone cord (1)

• Rechargeable batteries (2)

• Belt clips (2)

• Wall mount Adapter (1)

• Printed Materials

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 phone. The telephone company notifies

you of these changes in advance, so you can

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 fire, electric shock and injury to

persons, including the following:

1. 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.

2. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an

electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from

lightning.

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

leak.

4. Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with

local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

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 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.

INSTALLATION

Ô NOTE Ô

Before using your phone, carefully peel the

protective film off the display. The film

protects the handset window during

shipment and is not necessary to any phone

function.

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

qualified installer.

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:Ô

• 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

filing cabinets, wireless intercoms,

alarms, and room monitors

• away from other cordless phones

The base’s location affects the handset’s

range. If you have a choice of several

locations, try each to see which provides the

best performance.

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.

Correct

When there is obstacle such as metal or

concrete wall between the handset and the

base, the operation might be affected. Try to

keep free from obstruction.

Incorrect

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. Ô

Ô NOTE Ô

The USOC number of the

jack to be installed is

RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall

plate jack).

on the base to recharge

it while the headset is

connected, be sure the

handset seats properly.

VOL/RING/ or VOL/RING/ on the handset

also controls the headset’s volume.

answer calls as usual using the keys on the

handset.

You can use a handset

holder (available from

your local RadioShack

store) to hang the

handset on your belt for

greater convenience

when using a headset.

When you finish using the headset,

disconnect it from the handset and close the

rubber cover to protect the jack.

NOTE ABOUT 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 other 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 individually de-

1. Remove the handset if it sits on the base.

2. On the handset, press and hold end and # at the same time until you

hear beep.

3. Disconnect the AC adapter.

4. While holding PAGE, connect the AC adapter. Keep pressing PAGE

until the CHARGE LED starts to blink.

5. Wait about five seconds and place the handset on the base and wait

until the CHARGE LED stops flashing.

This erases all the handset registration data on the base, not limited to

the handset you placed at Step 5 above. You need to register other

handset(s) also. First de-register the handset as in Step 1 above, and

then place it on the base.

If you have trouble in de-registration, take your base and handset

(including extra handset(s) if you have) to your local RadioShack 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 extra handset if used) so we can keep your

registration data intact.
