Ample Talk and Standby Time — the supplied battery pro-
vides about 85 minutes of talk time or 24 hours of standby
time, when fully charged.
Battery and Cellular Signal Strength Meters — easy-to-
read graduated bar graphs let you quickly check the battery
power remaining or the current cellular signal strength.
Automatic Answer — lets you set the phone to answer auto-
matically after two rings (if you are using optional handsfree
equipment, for example).
Two Phone Number Capability — lets you use this one
phone with two different cellular services, with a different
phone number from each.
Handsfree Feature — the phone is preprogrammed to work
with most optional handsfree equipment.
We recommend you record your phone’s Electronic Serial
Number (ESN) here. The number is on the back of the
handset under the battery.

NoSvc (No Service) Indicator
Flashes or lights steadily if the
phone is beyond the range of the
cellular service area, meaning
calls cannot be made or re-
ceived. See “Signal Strength/Ser-
vice Area” on Page 14.
Roam Indicator
Flashes or lights steadily if the
phone is accessing a service
area outside of your home sys-
tem (roaming). See “Roaming” on
Page 59.
READING THE DISPLAY
Your phone’s display provides a full range of messages and
indicators to assist you with the phone’s operation. Since
many of these messages contain more characters than your
phone can display at one time, the phone displays most mes-
sages across more than one display. For example, the phone
displays Signalthen (within about 1 second) MtrOnto in-
dicate that the signal meter display feature is turned on.
Note: When referring to a displayed message, this manual in-
cludes the entire message (such as SignalMtrOn).
For a complete listing of display messages and indicators,
see “Display Message Glossary” on Page 73.

USING THE BATTERY
Warning:
A detached battery could cause property damage,
injury, or burns if a metal object (such as a pen spring, bead-
ed chain, or piece of jewelry) contacts the battery’s terminals
and causes a short circuit. Be careful when placing a charged
battery inside a coat pocket, purse, or other container that
might contain metal objects.
Caution:
Nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries must be re-
cycled or disposed of properly. They must not be disposed of
in municipal waste.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Latch
Align Here
1. Place the battery flat against the back of the phone and
align the top of the battery below the raised arrows.
2. Slide the battery toward the top of the phone until it
snaps into place.

17-1111.fm Page 10 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 2:23 PM
To remove the battery, be sure the phone is turned off, then
press the latch at the top of the battery and slide the battery
toward the bottom of the phone until it stops. Then lift the bat-
tery off the phone.
Note: If you have an extra charged battery and the currently
installed battery becomes low during a call, you can change
the battery without ending the call or losing the connection.
See “Replacing a Battery During a Call” on Page 12.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
The nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) battery supplied with your
telephone is shipped in a discharged state to extend the bat-
tery’s life. It must be fully charged before you can use your
phone.
We recommend that you charge a new battery overnight, but
no longer than 24 hours, using the AC charger supplied with
your phone. Recharging time for the supplied battery is about
3 hours, although the time varies based on the amount of
charge left in the battery. For the recharging time of any other
battery type, see the instructions provided with that battery.
Follow these steps to charge the supplied (or any approved)
battery using the charger supplied with your phone.
1. Install the battery on the phone.
2. Insert the charger’s flat plug into the charging jack on the
bottom of the phone.
Note: The plug fits into the jack only one way. If you
have difficulty inserting the plug, turn it over and try
again. Do not force it!
3. Plug the charger’s power cord into a standard AC outlet.

Notes:
•
•
•
You can use the phone while it is charging, but charg-
ing takes longer.
For the fastest charging, be sure the phone is turned
off during charging, if you are not expecting a call.
If the phone is on when you connect the charger, the
phone beeps once and the keypad backlight remains
on until you disconnect the charger.
4. When the battery is fully charged, disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet. Then press in the clips on the sides
of the plug and pull it away from the phone to disconnect
the charger.
CHECKING BATTERY POWER
When battery power becomes low, the phone displays Low
Bat and sounds a warning tone every few seconds. When
power becomes too low for the phone to operate, it automati-
cally turns off. Recharge the battery as soon as possible.
FCN
To check the battery’s charge level at any time, press
GHI
4 . The battery strength meter appears on the display for
about 5 seconds. The more bars that appear on the meter,
the higher the battery’s current charge level. If few or no bars
appear, the battery’s power is low.
Notes:
FCN
GHI
• If you press
4 while the phone is charging, the
phone flashes ChrgingBatteryfor about 5 seconds
instead of the battery strength meter.

17-1111.fm Page 12 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 2:23 PM
Note: Rechargeable batteries last longer and perform better
if occasionally allowed to fully discharge. You can do this by
leaving the phone on until it automatically turns off or you can
use the battery discharge feature of any approved accessory
available for your phone. Do not try to discharge the battery
by any other means.
REPLACING A BATTERY
DURING A CALL
If you have an extra charged battery and the currently in-
stalled battery becomes low during a call, follow these steps
to change the battery without ending the call or losing the
connection.
1. Tell the other party on the line what you plan to do (tell
them, for example, that they will hear some noise as you
remove the battery and you will call back if for any rea-
son you lose the connection).
2. Remove the battery, and within 3 seconds, install the
fresh battery. Your call is still on the line.
Note: If you do not complete Step 2 within 3 seconds,
the call disconnects.

IMPORTANT BATTERY TIPS
• Use only the supplied charger and use only batteries
designed for this phone.
• You can purchase additional standard or extended
capacity batteries through your local RadioShack store.
• When you are not using the charger, disconnect it from
power. Do not leave the battery connected to the charger
for more than 24 hours, since overcharging could
shorten the battery’s life.
• When the battery is not in use, store it uncharged in a
cool and dark place.
• The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts. Do
not try to open the case.
• For the best results, be sure the battery is at or near
room temperature when you charge it.
• A battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of
times, but it eventually wears out. When the operating
time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter
than normal, get a new battery and recycle or properly
dispose of the old one.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or
worn out.

BASIC OPERATION
TURNING THE PHONE ON/OFF
PWR
To turn on the phone, flip down the cover then press
.
The phone performs a short self test and sounds a tone or vi-
brates (see “Changing the Alert Type” on Page 29), then the
signal strength meter appears (see “Signal Strength/Service
Area”) and the keypad backlight turns on for about 16 sec-
onds. The phone is ready to use when the green power/lock
indicator begins to flash.
Notes:
The keypad backlight turns on for about 16 seconds
every time you press a key, then it turns off and the display
goes blank to conserve battery power.
PWR
To turn off the phone, press
again. The display goes
blank and the green on/lock indicator turns off.
SIGNAL STRENGTH/SERVICE AREA
Each time you turn on the phone, clear the display, or make a
call, the signal strength meter appears on the display to indi-
cate the strength of the cellular signal currently being re-
ceived. The more bars that appear on the meter, the stronger
the signal.
Notes:
• If few or no bars appear (meaning the signal strength is
weak) and you want to make or receive a call, move the
phone to a different location so the signal strength
increases.

17-1111.fm Page 15 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 2:23 PM
• You can disable the signal strength meter so it does not
appear. See “Turning the Signal Strength Meter Off/On”
on Page 26.
If the NoSvc indicator (above the display) turns on, the phone
is outside the cellular service area and you cannot make or
receive calls until you reach an area with service your phone
can use.

MAKING EMERGENCY CALLS
Your phone is preprogrammed to let you dial your local emer-
gency number (such as 911) at the press of a single button,
even if the phone is locked (see “Locking Your Phone” on
Page 45). Before you can use this feature, however, you

Numbers” on Page 36.
To place an emergency call once you have stored the emer-
1
gency number, simply hold down
for about 1 second.

cellular phone number, as well as the location of the inci-
dent. Remember that your phone might be the only
means of communication at the accident scene. Do not
end the call until you are advised you may do so.

The call screening function lets you set your phone so Call
appears and the phone sounds several unique beeps (or vi-
brates) when it receives a call, but you cannot answer the
call. The caller receives the standard “not in service” mes-
sage that they would normally hear when you have the phone
turned off. This function is handy if you want to use your
phone only for outgoing calls.

call forwarding) and you subscribe to that service, turning on
your phone’s call screening function so means Call ap-

USING SCRATCHPAD MEMORY
Your phone’s scratchpad memory lets you temporarily store a
telephone number on the display during a call. This is handy,
for example, when someone gives you a number during a call
and you don’t have a place to write it down.
To store a number in the scratchpad memory during a call,
simply press the keys to enter that number. After you press
END
to end the call, you can press SND to immediately dial
the scratchpad memory number.
Note
: Unless you previously selected the silent scratchpad
feature (see “Using Silent Scratchpad” on Page 27), be sure
to tell the other party on the call that they will hear tones as
you press the keys to enter the number.
MEMORY DIALING TIPS
Frequently Dialed Area Codes/Prefixes
To reduce the number of keystrokes you use to dial frequent-
ly called area codes or prefixes, store that area code or prefix
(including the 1, if necessary) in memory. To dial a number
using that memory, simply recall that memory, enter the re-
maining digits of the telephone number you are calling, then
SND
press
to place the call.
Banking or Other Phone Services
For convenience, you can store in your phone’s memory the
touch-tone command sequences you use when calling your
bank or other phone services. See “Using Touch-Tone Ser-
vices” on Page 61.

OTHER FEATURES
USING THE MESSAGING FUNCTIONS
Some cellular systems provide services that can send up to
three different types of messages to your phone, including
calling line ID, voice mail notification, and short (alphanumer-
ic) messages. Your phone is preprogrammed to work with
these services.
Note:
In order to use these functions on your phone, your
cellular carrier must provide, and you must subscribe to,
these services. Otherwise, selecting or setting them will have
no effect. For more information about these services, call
your cellular carrier.
Overview/Receiving Messages
When your phone is turned on and receives calling line ID,
voice mail notification, or short message data from your cellu-
lar carrier, it alternately displays:
You See
Meaning
xx New
Number (xx) of new messages received
YY Total
Total number (YY) of messages currently
stored in the message stack
Your phone stores each message in a special memory area
called the “message stack.” The message stack can hold up
to 20 messages at once, with messages stored in order from
newest (memory position 1) to oldest (memory position 20).

17-1111.fm Page 51 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 2:23 PM
Notes:
• If the message stack is full (20 messages are currently
stored) and the phone receives a new message, it auto-
matically stores the new message and deletes the oldest
message in the stack.
• Your phone does not receive messages while it is turned
off. Contact your cellular carrier to find out how the car-
rier handles undeliverable/queued messages.
Viewing/Recalling Messages
RCL
1. Press and release
, then hold it down for about 1
second. The phone displays the first (newest) message
in the stack.
If the message is a calling line ID message, the phone
briefly displays CIDyy(where yy is the message num-
ber) then the number of the party that called (up to 14
digits).
If the message is a short (text) message, the phone
briefly displays yyNew(where yy is the message num-
ber of a new message) then the message (up to 14 char-
acters).
If the message is voice mail notification, the phone dis-
plays the message data (such as a message number
and number of total/new messages waiting) sent by your
cellular carrier. The type and format of the message wait-
ing information sent varies by carrier — contact your cel-
lular carrier for more information.
Note: If there are no messages in the stack, the phone
displays No Msgs for about 8 seconds then exits the
CLR
message display. To exit sooner, press

USING THE PHONE WITH HANDSFREE
EQUIPMENT
Your phone is preprogrammed to work with most optional
handsfree equipment that lets you automatically switch from
handset to handsfree mode in your vehicle when you place
the phone in the handsfree holder.
Some handsfree equipment might require you to turn off
(mute) the phone’s microphone when switching to handsfree,
using the procedure described in “Using Mute” on Page 18.
See the owner’s manual provided with your handsfree equip-
ment for more information, or contact your local RadioShack
store for assistance.

USING THE CALL TIMERS
Your phone has three call timers that let you check the length
of your calls (“air time”):
• Individual call timer — times each call you make or
answer in minutes and seconds, and automatically
resets each time you make or answer a call or turn off
the phone. See “Displaying the Individual Call Timer.”
• Resettable call timer — times the calls you make or
answer in minutes, and it can be reset at any time. See
“Using the Resettable Call Timer” on Page 54.
• Cumulative call timer — times all the calls you make or
answer in minutes, and it cannot be reset. See “Display-
ing the Cumulative Call Timer” on Page 54.
Notes:
• Each call timer begins counting when you hear the first
ring (during an outgoing call) or when your phone rings
(or vibrates) to signal an incoming call.
• If your phone receives a call but you do not answer it,
each timer resets to the time it had before it received that
incoming call.
Displaying the Individual Call Timer
The individual call timer tracks each call you make in minutes
and seconds, and automatically resets each time you make
or answer a call or when you turn off the phone.

SELECTING THE ACTIVE PHONE
NUMBER
If you subscribe to two cellular services (for example, com-
petitive cellular systems in your area or cellular systems in
different cities), your dealer programs your phone with two
different phone numbers.
If you have two phone numbers programmed into your
phone, the phone displays one of the following messages
each time you turn it on, to indicate which cellular system
type and phone number are currently active.

Notes:
• Calls can be made on your phone from only one phone
number at a time, and you cannot activate the other
phone number while a call is in progress.
• To receive calls on both numbers at the same time (if you
subscribe to no-answer transfer or call forwarding ser-
vice through your cellular carrier), you can set both num-
bers to forward to the other number if not answered.
Otherwise, a caller who calls the inactive number
receives the standard “not in service” message.
SETTING THE CELLULAR
SYSTEM TYPE
Each cellular market area has two cellular service providers.
One of the providers is designated Provider A and the other
Provider B. When your phone is activated for service, find out
from your dealer whether your cellular provider is type A or B.
Notes:
• Usually, it is less expensive to use the same company for
cellular service when you are in your home city and
when you roam (see “Roaming” on Page 59). To do this,
you need to know whether your cellular service provider
is type A or B in your home city and in each city where
you plan to travel.
• It is possible for a cellular service provider to be (or have
agreements with) Provider A in some cities and Provider
B in others.

ROAMING
In some areas, the cellular system’s computer automatically
recognizes roaming telephones. In other areas, you must
contact the service provider before it can recognize your
phone. The operator needs to know your telephone number,
your phone’s ESN (Electronic Serial Number), and how you
plan to pay for your calls. There is normally an additional
charge for roaming calls.
Note
: Your phone’s ESN is under the phone’s battery; how-
ever, the roaming cellular service provider can usually auto-
matically determine your phone’s ESN when you call.
When you roam, the Roam indicator on your phone flashes
slowly when the phone is using a home-type cellular system.
The indicator flashes rapidly when the phone is using a cellu-
lar system that is different from your home system.
USING CELLULAR SYSTEM
PIN DIALING
Your cellular carrier might require that you use a personal
identification number (PIN) when you make calls. This num-
ber assures the cellular system that the person placing the
call is an authorized user.
Contact your cellular service provider to determine if a PIN is
required and obtain the PIN (7 digits or less) to place calls
through the cellular system you subscribe to. If a PIN is re-
quired, follow the steps in “Storing Speed Dial Numbers” on
Page 36 to store your PIN in memory 07, then follow the
steps in “Enabling/Disabling PIN Dialing” on Page 60 to en-
able PIN dialing on your phone.

• Enable PIN dialing on your phone only if it is required by
your cellular provider.
• You must store your PIN in memory 07, otherwise your
phone cannot properly make calls through your cellular
system.

• Do not use a handheld phone while driving a vehicle. If
using a handheld phone, park the vehicle before taking
or making a call.
• Always secure the phone in its holder; do not place the
phone on the passenger seat or where it can break loose
in a collision or sudden stop.
• Never install a phone alert device that operates your
vehicle’s lights or horn. This is illegal in most areas.
Remember, always put road safety first!
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
• Remember to follow all special regulations and always
turn off your phone whenever you are required to do so,
or when it might cause interference or be dangerous.
• Any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular
phones, might interfere with inadequately protected
medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufac-
turer of the medical device if you have any questions.
Other electronic equipment might also be subject to
interference.
• As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, for
your safety, only use your phone in the normal operating
position (held to your ear with the antenna pointing over
your shoulder).
• Turn off the phone while getting gasoline (at a filling sta-
tion). Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment
in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas),
chemical plants, or around blasting operations.

• Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explo-
sive materials in the same compartment as a cellular
phone or any of its parts or accessories.
• Only qualified personnel should install or service the
phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service might be
dangerous and could invalidate the phone’s warranty.
• Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-lock
braking systems, electronic cruise control systems, and
other electronic systems can malfunction due to the lack
of protection from radio signals. Check regularly that all
cellular phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and
operating properly.
• Turn off your cellular phone when in an aircraft. The use
of cellular phones in an aircraft might be dangerous to
the operation of the aircraft, disrupt cellular networks,
and is illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions could lead to suspen-
sion or denial of cellular telephone services, legal action, or
both.
EMERGENCY CALLS
IMPORTANT!
This phone, like any cellular phone, operates
using radio signals, cellular, and land-line networks, as well
as user-programmed functions. These factors make it impos-
sible to guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you
should never rely solely upon any cellular phone for essential
communications (such as medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls, the phone must be
turned on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal
strength.

17-1111.fm Page 69 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 2:23 PM
You might not be able to make emergency calls on all cellular
phone networks or when certain network services or phone
features are set. Check with your local service providers.
FCC REGULATIONS
A cellular phone might cause TV or radio interference, even
when it is operating properly. The FCC can require you to
stop using your cellular phone if you cannot eliminate the in-
terference. If you need assistance, contact your local Ra-
dioShack store.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Opera-
tion is subject to the condition that this device does not cause
harmful interference.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack CT-502 Flip-Style Handheld Cellular Tele-
phone with Silent Vibrating Alert is an example of superior
design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will
help you care for your phone so you can enjoy it for years.
• Keep the phone and all of its parts and accessories out
of the reach of children.
• Keep the phone dry. Liquids might contain minerals that
corrode electronic circuits.
• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas. Its
moving parts can be damaged.
• Do not store the phone in hot areas. Temperature
extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-
age batteries, and warp or melt plastic parts.
• Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the phone
warms up (to its normal operating temperature), mois-
ture can form inside the phone, which could damage the
phone’s electronic circuits.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the phone. Rough handling
can break internal circuit boards.
• Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning sol-
vents, or strong detergents to clean your phone.
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal components
can cause a malfunction and invalidate your phone’s warran-
ty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your
phone is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
