Your phone operates on
standard radio
frequencies as allocated
by the FCC.
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 5.8
GHz Dual Handset Expandable 2-Line
Cordless Telephone. Unlike other
conventional cordless telephones, your
telephone supports up to two handsets on a
single telephone line. You can add a

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
another handset. If you subscribe to Call

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 (for each line) 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).
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 failure.

IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
This telephone has been tested and found
to comply with all applicable UL and FCC
standards.
As an ENERGYSTAR Partner,
RadioShack Corporation has
determined that this product
meets the ENERGYSTAR
guidelines for energy
efficiency.
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 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 may explode. Check with
local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

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.
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.
7
INSTALLATION
Ô NOTE Ô
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.
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.
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
• 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.
The handset antenna is located on the
back, above the ringer speaker. For
maximum communication range, do not
hold the handset in such a way as to cover
the antenna by your hand. Also, place the
handset in the upright position while not in
use so the antenna can pick up the signals
from the base.
When there is obstacle such as metal or
concrete wall between the handset and the
base, the operation might be affected. Try to
keep free from obstruction.

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. Ô
Ô NOTE Ô
The USOC number of the
jack to be installed is

loses its ability to fully recharge.
• Using a damp cloth, clean the charging
contacts on the handset about once a
month.
• If you are not going to use your phone
for an extended period, disconnect the
battery pack. This increases the battery
pack’s usable life.
• The supplied battery pack should last
for about a 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, 800 mAh
battery pack with a connector that fits
the socket in the battery compartment.
You can order a replacement battery
pack through RadioShack. Install the
new battery pack and charge it for

handset’s earpiece and microphone.
CID/VOL/ or REDIAL/P/ on the handset
also controls the headset’s volume.
You can use a handset
holder (available from
your local RadioShack
store) to hang the
handset on your belt for
greater convenience
when using a headset.
With a headset connected, you can make or
answer calls as usual using the keys on the
handset.
When you finish using the headset,
disconnect it from the handset and close the
rubber cover to protect the jack.

NOTE ABOUT HANDSET-BASE
REGISTRATION
When you register the handset with the base, unique data is written on
both the base and the handset. The handset registered to one base unit
cannot be used with other base unit unless the registration data is “de-
registered” with the original base unit. This means the handset must be
within the range of the original base unit to de-register. If for any reason
the original base unit is not within the range (or the registration data in
the original base unit is erased), “Out of Range” error takes place and
you cannot de-register the handset.
Should you encounter this trouble, follow these steps to individually de-
register the handset and the base.
1. Remove the handset if it sits on the base.
2. On the handset, press and hold END and # at the same time until you
hear beep.
3. Disconnect the AC adapter.
4. While holding PAGE, connect the AC adapter. Keep pressing PAGE
until the CHARGE LED starts to blink.
5. Place the handset on the base and wait until the CHARGE LED
stops flashing.
This erases all the handset registration data on the base, not limited to
the handset you placed at Step 5 above. You need to register other
handset(s) also if you have more than one. First de-register the handset
as in Step 1 above, and then place it on the base.
If you have trouble in de-registration, take your base and handset
(including extra handset(s) if you have) to your local RadioShack or call
1-800-The Shack (843-7422) for assistance.
Also, when you request repair or service, please be sure to bring in the
entire system (including extra handset if used) so we can keep your
registration data intact.
