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 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

connection between the  
base and the handset.  
When power is restored,  
put the handset on the  
base briefly to 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  
Ô NOTE Ô  
You must not connect your  
phone to:  
equivalence number, or REN on the back of  
your phone.  
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  
coin-operated systems

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 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.

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: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.  
Ô NOTES 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,  
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).
