BATTERY SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
If you use more than one phone or other de-
vice 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 opera-
tion is impaired, remove one of the devices
from the line.
FIRE OR INJURY, READ AND FOLLOW
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Use only the appropriate type and size
battery pack specified in the instruction
manual provided for this product.
Important:
2. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a
fire. The cell may explode. Check with
local codes for possible special disposal
instructions.
• 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 receive calls if there
is an AC power failure.
3. Do not open or mutilate the battery
pack. Released electrolyte is corrosive
and may cause damage to the eyes or
skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handing the battery
pack in order not to short it with conduct-
ing materials such as rings, bracelets
and keys. The battery or conductor may
overheat and cause burns.
• When AC power is lost, the phone loses
the security access-protection code con-
nection between the base and the hand-
set. When power is restored, put the
handset on the base briefly to restore
this connection.
5. Charge the battery pack provided with or
identified for use with this product only in
accordance with the instructions and
limitations specified in the instruction
manual provided for this product.
FCC STATEMENT
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC
Rules. Upon request, you must provide the
phone’s FCC registration number and REN
to your telephone company. These numbers
are on the bottom of the base.
6. Observe proper polarity orientation
between the battery pack and battery
charger.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone causes
problems on the phone line, the phone com-
pany can temporarily discontinue your ser-
vice. 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.
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the
FCC requires that you stop using your
phone.
Some cordless telephones operate on fre-
quencies that might cause interference to
nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize
or prevent such interference, the base of the
cordless telephone should not be placed
near or on top of a TV or VCR.
Also, the phone company can make changes
to its lines, equipment, operations, or proce-
dures 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 interrup-
tion of your telephone service.
LIGHTNING
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.
Your phone might cause TV or radio interfer-
ence even when it is operating properly. To
determine whether your phone is causing the
interference, turn off your phone. If the inter-
ference goes away, your phone is causing it.
Lightning damage is not common. Neverthe-
less, 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.
Try to eliminate the interference by:
• moving your phone away from the
receiver
ˆ Features
Your RadioShack 2.4 GHz Cordless Speak-
erphone combines a 2.4 GHz digital cordless
telephone unit and a digital TAD (Telephone
Answering Device). The 2.4 GHz band
means less interference, clearer sound, and
greater range than other types of cordless
telephones.
• 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 oper-
ate your TAD from a touch-tone phone (or
from a rotary phone with an optional pocket
tone dialer).
The TAD stores up to 18 minutes of messag-
es on a computer chip and records each
message’s day and time. This gives you ad-
vanced capabilities over tape-based answer-
ing machines:

Notes:
• When you first use the phone after
CONNECTING, CHARGING,
AND REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
charging or recharging the battery pack,
the phone might not work and you might
hear a five-beep error signal. If this hap-
pens, return the handset to the base for
about 5 seconds to reset the security
access-protection code.
The TAD comes with a rechargeable nickel-
cadmium battery pack installed in the hand-
set, but not connected. Before using your
phone, you must connect the battery pack,
then charge it for about 24 hours.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the charg-
ing contacts on the handset and the
base about once a month.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover.
• If the phone does not work, recharge the
battery pack. (The battery power might
be too low to flash the TALK/LOW BATT
indicator.)
• If the battery pack becomes weak during
a call, the handset beeps every 3 sec-
onds. When this happens, you cannot
make a call on the phone until you
recharge the battery pack.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the compart-
ment. Plug the battery pack’s connector
into the socket in the compartment. The
connector fits only one way.
• About once a month, fully discharge the
battery pack by keeping the handset off
the base until the TALK/BATT LOW indi-
cator flashes. Otherwise, the battery
pack loses its ability to fully recharge.
• If the battery pack is completely dis-
charged or the base loses power while
the handset is away from it, place the
handset on the base to reset the secu-
rity access-protection code. If it was the
handset that lost power, recharge the
battery pack.
3. Put the battery pack in the compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, simply place the
handset on the base, facing either up or
down. The CHARGE/IN USE indicator on the
base lights.
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 over-
night charge, replace it with a new 3.6-volt,
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. Install
the new battery pack and charge it for about
24 hours.
Recharge the battery pack when the TALK/
LOW BATT indicator flashes.
Important:
Be sure the battery pack is prop-
erly connected before you try to charge it. If
the CHARGE/IN USE indicator flashes slow-
ly when the handset is on the base, the bat-
tery pack is not connected properly.

Dispose of the old battery pack
promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it
(see “Battery Safety Instructions” on Page 5
for additional information on proper battery
handling).
If you have trouble replacing the battery
pack, take the phone to your local Ra-

two seconds to let you know it is ready to ac-
cept remote commands.
• Set the TAD to answer or not answer
calls.
• Listen to your messages.
• Record a new outgoing message.
• Record a memo.
Notes:
• If the TAD does not respond, try entering
your pin again. If you enter an incorrect
PIN three times, the TAD beeps and
hangs up.
• Erase messages.
Note:
You cannot remotely operate the TAD
using its handset or another telephone on
the same line as the TAD.
• When the TAD is in remote operation, it

If you still have problems, disconnect the TAD. If other phones on the same line work properly,
the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the problem, take your phone to
your local RadioShack store for assistance.
CARE
To enjoy your phone for a long time:
• 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 gently and carefully.
Do not drop it.
• Keep the phone away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occa-
sionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s in-
ternal 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 assis-
tance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone
lines, the phone company can ask you to dis-
connect your phone until you have resolved
the problem.
