Important Caller ID Information
FCC STATEMENT
To use the phone's Caller ID and Caller
ID with Call Waiting features, you must
be in an area where those services are
available and you must subscribe to
those services through your local phone
company.
Your phone complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules. You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number
and the REN to your phone company.
These numbers are on the bottom of the
base.
Where Caller ID is offered, one or more
options are generally available:
You must not connect your phone to any
of the following:
• caller's number only
• caller's name only
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• caller's name and number
• most electronic key phone systems
Note: Your telephone operates on stan-
dard radio frequencies, as allocated by
the FCC. Even though the security ac-
cess-protection code prevents unautho-
rized use of your phone line, it is
possible for radios operating on similar
frequencies within a certain area to unin-
tentionally intercept your conversations
and/or cause interference. This lack of
privacy can occur with any cordless
phone.
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your phone to con-
form to federal regulations, and you can
connect it to most telephone lines. How-
ever, each device that you connect to
the phone line draws power from the
phone line. We refer to this power draw
as the device's ringer equivalence num-
ber, or REN. The REN is on the bottom
of the base. If you are using more than
one phone or other device 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 operation
is impaired, remove a device from the
line.

CALLER ID OPERATION
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone compa-
ny sends information about the call, as
well as the time and date, between the
first and second rings of every call you
receive. This information appears after
the second ring on both the handset's
and the base's displays. The display
also shows if caller information is un-
available or if the name and number
were blocked by the caller (see “Caller
ID Messages” on Page 21).
To dial a number stored in one-touch
dial memory, simply press the button
(M1-M4). You do not need to press
SPEAKER to dial the number in one-
touch dial memory.
Note: If you select an empty one-touch
dial memory, the base beeps five error
beeps.
Chain-Dialing Service Numbers
If you subscribe to Call Waiting with
Caller ID, you will hear a tone through
the handset when a call comes in, then
the Caller ID record appears. If you want
to answer the incoming call, press
FLASH. To resume the previous phone
conversation, press FLASH again.
For quick recall of numbers for special
services (such as bank by phone), store
each group of numbers in its own mem-
ory location. Dial the service's main
number first. Then, at the appropriate
place in the call, press MEM (or MEMO-
RY on the base) and enter the number
for the location where the additional in-
formation is stored.
The handset has Caller ID memory to
store the information received up to 50
Caller ID records for later review. It
stores the information even when you
answer the call using the speakerphone.
Testing Stored Emergency
Numbers
If the Caller ID memory becomes full,
any new call replaces the oldest call's
record.
If you store an emergency service's
number (police department, fire depart-
ment, ambulance) and you choose to
test the stored number, make the test
call during the late evening or early
morning hours to avoid peak demand
periods. Also, remain on the line to ex-
plain the reason for your call.
The base's NEW CALL indicator also
flashes when the phone receives a call
with Caller ID information and you have
not yet reviewed it. Use the handset's
Caller ID memory to review the informa-
tion about the call(s) received.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack Digital 900 MHz Dual Keypad Cordless Speakerphone is an ex-
ample 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 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might
contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-
age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the phone away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.
Handle the phone gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit
boards and cases and can cause the phone to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your phone’s electronic
parts.
Wipe the phone base and handset with a damp cloth occasionally to
keep them looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents,
or strong detergents to clean the phone.
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal components can cause a malfunc-
tion 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 assistance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the phone company
can ask you to disconnect your phone until you have resolved the problem.

Follow these steps to replace the batter-
ies.
REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover.
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 8, the battery pack should last
about one 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, 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.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the com-
partment, then gently pull on the
battery connector to disconnect it.
3. Insert the new battery pack's con-
nector into the socket in the com-
partment and place the battery pack
into the compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
Install the new battery pack as de-
scribed below, then charge it for about
24 hours (see “Connecting and Charg-
ing the Battery Pack” on Page 8).
If you have trouble replacing the battery,
take the phone to your local RadioShack
store for assistance.

If you cannot eliminate the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your phone.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can temporarily discon-
tinue your service. If this happens, the
phone company attempts to notify you in
advance. If advance notice is not practi-
cal, the phone company notifies you as
soon as possible and advises you of
your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.
Some cordless telephones operate on
frequencies that might cause interfer-
ence to nearby TVs and VCRs. To mini-
mize or prevent such interference, the
base of the cordless telephone should
not be placed near or on top of a TV or
VCR.
LIGHTNING
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect the
operation of this telephone. The tele-
phone company notifies you of these
changes in advance, so you can take
the necessary steps to prevent interrup-
tion of your telephone service.
Your telephone has built-in surge pro-
tection to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone line and power
line current. This protection meets or ex-
ceeds FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking the telephone or power
lines can damage your telephone.
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-
ertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibility of dam-
age.
Your phone might cause TV or radio in-
terference even when it is operating
properly. To determine whether your
phone is causing the interference, turn
off your phone. If the interference goes
away, your phone is causing it. Try to
eliminate the interference by:
• moving your phone away from the
receiver
• connecting your phone to an AC
outlet that is on a different electrical
circuit from the receiver
• contacting your local RadioShack
store for help
