INTRODUCTION  
IMPORTANT  
!
!
Your phone operates on  
standard radio  
frequencies as allocated  
by the FCC.  
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 2.4  
GHz Multi Handset Expandable Corded  
Telephone. Unlike other conventional  
telephones, your telephone supports up to  
four cordless handsets on a single  
It is possible for other  
radio units operating  
nearby on similar  
telephone line. You can add a cordless  
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.  
frequencies to  
unintentionally intercept  
your conversation or  
cause interference. This  
possible lack of privacy  
can occur with any  
cordless phone.  
The digital answering system stores up to  
12 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).  
Corded handset does not need AC power to  
operate. It allows you to make/receive calls  
if there is an AC power failure.  
Cordless phones require AC power to  
operate. When the power is off, you cannot  
make or receive calls by using your cordless  
handset.

INFORMATION  
This telephone has been tested and found  
to comply with all applicable UL and FCC  
standards.  
coin-operated systems

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. Ô  
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.  
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 insure 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.

For body worn operation, 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.  
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 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 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.

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  
contact your telephone  
company or a qualified  
installer.  
• near an accessible AC outlet  
• near a telephone line jack  
The USOC number of  
the jack to be installed is  
RJ11C (or RJ11W for a  
wall plate 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  
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. A plug and jack used to connect this  
equipment to the premises wiring and  
telephone network must comply with the  
applicable FCC Part 68 rules and  
requirements adopted by the ACTA. A  
compliant telephone cord and modular plug  
is provided with this product. It is designed  
to be connected to a compatible modular  
jack that is also compliant. See installation  
instructions for details. Ô  
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.
