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.

need AC power to operate

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 16  
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).

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.
