Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 2.4 GHz
Cordless Telephone. Your telephone provides
excellent clarity and range and integrates Caller ID,
Caller ID on Call Waiting, and a digital answering
system into one space-saving device. The 2.4 GHz
band provides superior audio quality and extended
range.
The digital answering system provides clear reliable
messaging with call screening, day/time stamp, call
counter, remote access and instant skip or replay
messaging.

Your phone operates on
standard radio
frequencies as allocated
by the FCC.
It is possible for other
radio units operating
nearby on similar
The Caller ID records each caller’s name (if
available in your area), telephone number, and the
date and time of the call, as provided by your local

frequencies to
unintentionally intercept
your conversation or
cause interference. This
possible lack of privacy
can occur with any
cordless phone.
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.
3
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
Ô NOTE Ô
You must not connect your
telephone to:
•
•
coin-operated systems
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.
most electronic key
phone systems
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.
4
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:
As an ENERGYSTAR Partner,
RadioShack Corporation has
determined that this product
meets the ENERGYSTAR
guidelines for energy
efficiency.
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 Caller ID on 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.
IMPORTANT
!
!
Cordless phones such as
this one require AC power
to operate. When the AC
power is off, you cannot dial
out or receive incoming
calls using your phone. To
be safe, you should also
have a phone that does not
need AC power to operate
(not a cordless phone) so
you can still make and

• away from other cordless phones
You can try different locations to see which provides
the best performance.

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 online at
RadioShack.com), 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. The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C (RJ11W for a wall plate).
