INTRODUCTION  
IMPORTANT

Thank you for purchasing the  
Cordless phones such  
as this one require AC  
power to operate.  
RadioShack 900 MHz Cordless  
Telephone. Your phone uses advanced  
technology to give you superior audio  
quality and extended range. The  
phone’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 with Caller ID, the phone  
shows you the incoming caller  
When the power is off,  
you cannot make or  
receive 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

protection code  
information, even when you are already  
talking on the phone.

connection between  
the base and the  
handset. When power  
is restored, put the  
handset on the base  
briefly to restore this  
connection so you can  
use the handset.  
Your phone operates  
on standard radio  
frequencies as  
allocated by FCC.  
It is possible for other  
radio units operating  
nearby on similar  
frequencies to  
unintentionally  
intercept your  
conversation or cause  
interference. This  
possible lack of privacy  
can occur with any  
cordless phone.

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 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.  
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.

This device complies with part 15 of the  
FCC rules. Operation is subject to the  
following two conditions: (1) This  
device may not cause harmful  
interference, and (2) This device must  
accept any interference received,  
including interference that may cause  
undesired operation. Privacy of  
communications, may not be ensured  
when using this phone.  
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 you unplug your phone when  
storms approach to reduce the  
possibility of damage.

location that is:  
source that supplies  
9V DC and delivers at  
least 210 mA. Its  
center tip must be set

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. The phone  
displays this information after the  
second ring, and it stores up to 30  
Caller ID records for later review. It also  
shows if the caller information is  
unavailable or if the name and number  
were blocked by the caller (see “Caller  
ID Messages” on Page 35).  
If you subscribe to Call Waiting with  
Caller ID, you hear a tone through the  
handset when a call comes in, then the  
Caller ID record appears. If the Caller  
ID memory becomes full, any new call  
replaces the oldest call’s record.
