The Basics

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing your 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 around 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.

The digital answering machine stores up to 12 minutes of

messages on a computer chip and records day and time

information for each message. 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

machine from a touch-tone phone (or from a rotary phone with a

pocket tone dialer).

Cordless phones require AC power to operate.

When the power is off, you cannot make or receive

NOTE

calls by using your phone. We recommend you

also have a mobile phone so you can still make and

receive calls in the event of an AC power failure.

IMPORTANT

• Your phone operates on standard radio

frequencies as allocated by the 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.

The Basics

Important Information

This telephone has been tested and found to comply with all

applicable UL and FCC standards.

FCC Statement

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and

the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the base of this

equipment is a label that contains, among other information,

a product identiﬁer in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If

requested, this number must be provided to the telephone

company. 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.

You must not connect your phone to…

NOTES

• coin-operated systems

• most electronic key telephone systems

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be

connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone

line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an

incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should

not exceed ﬁve (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that

may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs,

contact the local telephone company. For products approved

after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product

identiﬁer that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits

represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03

is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown

on the label.

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.

The Basics

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 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.

To ensure the safety of users, the FCC has established criteria

for the amount of radio frequency energy various products

may produce depending on their intended usage. This product

has been tested and found to comply with the FCC’s exposure

criteria. The FCC RF exposure guidelines were also met when

used with the RadioShack accessories supplied or designed

for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure

compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be

avoided.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of ﬁre or

shock hazard, do not expose this product

to rain or moisture.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC

SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER OR BACK.

NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER

The Basics

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.

The Basics

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 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

when 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.

The Basics

Installation

Before using your phone, carefully peel the protective ﬁlm off the

display. The ﬁlm protects the handset window during shipment

and is not necessary for use.

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:

• 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

• If your home has specially wired alarm

equipment connected to the telephone line, be

NOTES

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.

The location of the base affects the handset’s range. If you have

a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the

best performance.

1ꢂ

The Basics

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 an obstacle such as a metal or

concrete wall between the handset and the base,

the operation might be affected. Try to keep the

path free from obstructions.

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.

The USOC number of the jack to be installed is

NOTE

RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate jack).

Connecting the Phone Base

1. Plug one end of the supplied long modular cord into the TEL

LINE jack on the bottom of the base.

2. Plug the other end of

the modular cord into

a modular phone line

jack.

The Basics

3. Insert the supplied AC

adapter’s barrel plug into

the DC IN 9V jack on the

bottom of the base.

4. Route the adapter’s cord

through the strain relief slot

on the base of the phone.

Then plug the adapter into a

standard AC outlet.

CAUTION: You must use a Class 2 power source

that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 400 mA

(for the base)/210 mA (for the charger). 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 speciﬁcations could damage the

phone or the adapter.

On a Wall Plate or Wall

To mount the phone directly on a wall, you need two screws (not

supplied) with heads that ﬁt into the keyhole slots on the base.

Drill two holes 3 15/16 inches apart. Thread a screw into each

hole, letting the heads extend about 1/8 inch.

1. Plug the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug into the DC IN 9V

jack on the bottom of the base.

2. Route the adapter cord through the base’s groove.

3. Plug one end of the supplied modular cord (short for a wall

plate, long for direct wall mounting) into the TEL LINE jack

on the bottom of the base.

the compartment.

4. Replace the cover.

5. To charge the battery pack, place the handset on the base.

The CHARGE indicator on the base lights.

• Recharge the battery pack when LOW BATTERY ﬂashes on the

display.

• If you have any trouble replacing the battery pack, take the

phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

Notes on Recharging

• If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, LOW BATTERY

ﬂashes. When this happens, you cannot make a call until you

The Basics

• If the display is blank and the phone does not work, recharge

the battery pack. (The battery power might be too low to light

the display.)

• About once a month, fully discharge the battery by keeping the

handset off the base until LOW BATTERY ﬂashes on the display.

Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge.

• Using a damp cloth, clean the charging contacts on the handset

about once a month.

• If you are not going to use your phone for an extended period,

disconnect the battery pack. This increases the battery pack’s

usable life.

• The supplied battery pack should last for 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 3.6-volt, 800 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. Install the new battery pack and charge it for

about 15 - 20 hours.

WARNING:

• Dispose of the old battery pack promptly and

properly.

• Do not burn or bury it. Dispose of used batteries

according to the instructions.

• Danger! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by

an incorrect type.

Waiting and Caller ID, the phone also shows you the name and

the number of any call that comes in while you are on the line.

• If you answer a call before the Caller ID message

is received (for example, before the second ring),

NOTES

the Caller ID message may not appear.

• When the call is received via a Telephone

Company that does not offer Caller ID service,

the caller’s phone number and name will not

appear. (This includes some international calls.)

• When the Call is from a PBX (private branch

exchange), the caller’s phone number and

name may not appear, but you may see a main

company phone number for that PBX appear.

• If your telephone provider supports seven-digit

dialing, you can save your local area code so it

does not display in the Caller ID list. See “Seven-

Digit Dialing” on page 67 for more information.

Talking Caller ID (Base Only)

The Talking Caller ID feature is a Caller ID that talks and verbally

announces from the base the name of incoming callers when you

Using the Caller ID List

You can store up to 100 Caller ID numbers in each handset or the

base. Your handset shares memory between the phonebook and

Caller ID with a total of 100 entries. When the shared memory

is full and when you store a new phonebook entry, the oldest

Caller ID message is overwritten. Once you reach your maximum

phonebook entries of 100, Caller ID information will not be stored

(but it will still display when the call comes in). Your base has

separated memory area for the phonebook and Caller. Therefore

Care

Keep the phone dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use

and store the phone only in “room” 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.

Service and Repair

If your phone is not performing as it should, take it to your

local RadioShack store for assistance. To locate your nearest

RadioShack store, use the store locator feature on RadioShack’s

website (www.radioshack.com), or call 1-800-The Shack (843-

7422) and follow the menu options. 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.

Appendix: 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 another 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 de-

1. On the handset, press and hold and # at the same time

until SYSTEM RESET appears on the display.

2. Move the cursor to select BASE UNAVAILABLE and then

press the OK soft key.

3. Move the cursor to select YES, and then press the OK soft

key.

4. ARE YOU SURE? appears on the display. Move the cursor to

select YES, and then press the OK soft key.

5. You will hear a conﬁrmation tone, and the handset deletes

its own base information without contacting the base. The

handset displays the message, MODELS VARY! PLACE

HANDSET ON THE BASE FOR REGISTRATION OR REFER TO

OWNER’S MANUAL.

6. On the base you want to use, disconnect the AC adapter.

7. While holding END/PAGE, connect the AC adapter. Keep

pressing END/PAGE until the CHARGE indicator starts to

blink.

8. Place the handset on the base and wait until the CHARGE

indicator stops ﬂashing.

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

limited to the handset you placed at Step 8 above. You need to

de-register the handset as in Step 1 and 2 above, and then place

it on the base.

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

handset (including accessory handset(s) if you have) to your

local RadioShack store 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 accessory handset if used) so we

can keep your registration data intact.
