INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 900 MHz
Cordless Telephone. Your telephone provides
excellent clarity and range and integrates Caller ID,
Call Waiting ID, and a digital answering system into
one space-saving device. The 900 MHz band
provides less interference, clearer sound, and
greater range than 46/49 MHz cordless telephones.
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

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

• 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.
If you use 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 one
of the devices from the line.
The digital answering system stores up to 11
minutes of messages 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).

not have a modular jack, you can update the wiring
yourself using jacks and adapters (available at your

with a new 3.6V, 600 mAh battery pack with a
connector that fits the socket in the battery
compartment. You can order a replacement battery

CARE
Keep the phone dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry
immediately. Use and store the phone only in
normal temperature environments. Handle the
phone carefully; do not drop it. Keep the phone
away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp
cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal
components can cause a malfunction 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.
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.
Ô NOTE Ô
You must not connect your
telephone to:
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

most electronic key
phone 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.
•
Some cordless
telephones operate on
frequencies that might
cause interference to
nearby TVs and VCRs.
To minimize or prevent
such interference, the
base of the cordless
telephone should not be
placed near or on top of
a TV or VCR.
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. Ô

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.
