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.

SURGE PROECTION  
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.

INTRODUCTION  
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 2.4  
GHz 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 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

When AC power is lost,  
the phone loses the  
security access-

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.

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

AC power. When you  
finish, disconnect the  
adapter from AC power  
before you disconnect it  
from the phone.

sure that installing the  
system does not disable  
your alarm equipment.  
If you have questions  
about what will disable  
alarm equipment,  
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  
contact your telephone  
company or a qualified  
installer.  
The USOC number of  
the jack to be installed is  
RJ11C (or RJ11W for a  
wall plate jack).
