INTRODUCTION  
When AC power is lost,  
the phone loses the  
digital security code  
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.  
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  
phone company to Caller ID service subscribers.  
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.

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.

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

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  
INSTALLATION

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.

appliances, metal walls or filing cabinets,  
wireless intercoms, alarms, and room monitors

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).  
CAUTION  
You must use a  
Class two power  
source that supplies

certain situations during  
a call, you may “switch-  
over” to tone dialing  
(Refer to “Tone Dialing  
Switch-over” on page
