INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 900
MHz Cordless Telephone. Your phone uses
advanced technology to give you superior audio
quality and extended range. The phone’s Caller
ID unit records each caller’s telephone number
(and name, if available in your area) and the date
and time of the call, as provided by your local
phone company to Caller ID service subscribers.
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.
Cordless phones require AC power to operate.
When the power is off, you cannot make or
receive calls by using your phone. 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
IMPORTANT

• When AC power is lost,
the phone loses the digital
security code connection
between the base and the
handset. When power is
restored, put the handset
on the base briefly to
failure.
!
restore this connection so
you can use the handset.
• 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.

As an ENERGYSTAR Partner,
RadioShack Corporation has
determined that this product
meets the ENERGYSTAR
guidelines for energy
efficiency.
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
This telephone has been tested and found to
comply with all applicable UL and FCC standards.
FCC STATEMENT
Your telephone compiles with Part 68 of the FCC
Rules. Upon request, you must provide the phone’s
FCC registration number and REN to your phone
company. These numbers are on the base unit.
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
We have designed your phone to conform to
federal regulations, and you can connect it to most
telephone lines. However, each phone (and each
device, such as a telephone or answering machine)
that you connect to the telephone line draws power
from the telephone line. We refer to this power
draw as the device’s ringer equivalence number,
or REN on the back of your phone.
Ô NOTE Ô
You must not connect your
phone to:
• coin-operated systems
• most electronic key
telephone systems

The lightning symbol is intended to alert you to the presence of
uninsulated dangerous voltage within this product’s enclosure

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.
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

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 ID and Caller ID,
the system can show you the incoming caller
information, even when you are already talking
on the phone.
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

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.
Ô NOTES Ô
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. Ô
• If your home has
specially wired alarm
equipment connected to
the telephone line, be
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.

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 and the bracket.
Drill two holes 315/16 inches apart. Thread a
screw into each hole, letting the heads extend
about 1/8 inch. Ô
Ô NOTE Ô
If the base unit is mounted
on the wall, always put the
handset in the base with
the CID display facing
forward to make sure the
handset does not fall out of
the base.
1. Remove the bracket
from the base and
snap it into the
notches on the
bottom of the base.
2. 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 base’s back.
3. Plug the supplied AC adapter's barrel plug
into the DC IN 9V jack.
4. Route the adapter
and modular cords
through the
bracket’s grooves.
5. For a wall plate,
align the base and
the bracket's
keyhole slots with
the wall plate studs

CHOOSING THE DIALING MODE
Most phone systems use tone dialing which
sends DTMF tones through the phone lines.
However, some phone systems (such as those in
rural areas) still use pulse dialing. The default
setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing
system, set the mode as follows: Ô
Ô NOTES Ô
• Make sure your battery
pack is fully charged
before choosing the
dialing mode.
• If your phone system
requires pulse dialing
and you need to send
the DTMF tones for
certain situations during
a call, you may switch
over to tone dialing.
(Refer to “Tone Dialing
Switch-over” on
Dialing mode switch is next to the DC IN 9V jack
at the top of the base. Place the switch in the
TONE position for tone dialing, or the PULSE
position for pulse dialing.
If you are not sure of your dialing system, set for
tone dialing. Make a trial call. If the call connects,
leave the setting as is. Otherwise set for pulse
dialing.
