Last Number Redial — lets you quickly review and redial  
any of the last 10 numbers that you called.  
Scratchpad Memory — lets you temporarily store a number  
(even during a call), then easily dial it.  
Security Features — to prevent unauthorized phone use,  
you can lock the phone (so it cannot be used at all) or set up

calls can be made, for example).  
Multiple Key Answer — lets you set the phone so pressing  
one of several keys answers a call.  
Ample Talk and Standby Time — the supplied battery pro-  
vides about 85 minutes of talk time or 24 hours of standby  
time, when fully charged.  
Battery and Cellular Signal Strength Meters — easy-to-  
read graduated bar graphs let you quickly check the battery  
power remaining or the current cellular signal strength.  
Automatic Answer — lets you set the phone to answer auto-  
matically after two rings (if you are using optional handsfree  
equipment, for example).  
Two Phone Number Capability — lets you use this one  
phone with two different cellular services, with a different  
phone number from each.  
Handsfree Feature — the phone is preprogrammed to work  
with most optional handsfree equipment.  
We recommend you record your phone’s Electronic Serial  
Number (ESN) here. The number is on the back of the  
handset under the battery.

NoSvc (No Service) Indicator  
Flashes or lights steadily if the  
phone is beyond the range of the  
cellular service area, meaning  
calls cannot be made or re-  
ceived. See “Signal Strength/Ser-  
vice Area” on Page 14.  
Roam Indicator  
Flashes or lights steadily if the  
phone is accessing a service  
area outside of your home sys-  
tem (roaming). See “Roaming” on  
Page 59.  
READING THE DISPLAY  
Your phone’s display provides a full range of messages and  
indicators to assist you with the phone’s operation. Since  
many of these messages contain more characters than your  
phone can display at one time, the phone displays most mes-  
sages across more than one display. For example, the phone  
displays Signalthen (within about 1 second) MtrOnto in-  
dicate that the signal meter display feature is turned on.  
Note: When referring to a displayed message, this manual in-  
cludes the entire message (such as SignalMtrOn).  
For a complete listing of display messages and indicators,  
see “Display Message Glossary” on Page 73.

USING THE BATTERY  
Warning:  
A detached battery could cause property damage,  
injury, or burns if a metal object (such as a pen spring, bead-  
ed chain, or piece of jewelry) contacts the battery’s terminals  
and causes a short circuit. Be careful when placing a charged  
battery inside a coat pocket, purse, or other container that  
might contain metal objects.  
Caution:  
Nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries must be re-  
cycled or disposed of properly. They must not be disposed of  
in municipal waste.  
INSTALLING THE BATTERY  
Latch  
Align Here  
1. Place the battery flat against the back of the phone and  
align the top of the battery below the raised arrows.  
2. Slide the battery toward the top of the phone until it  
snaps into place.  
9
17-1111.fm Page 10 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 2:23 PM  
To remove the battery, be sure the phone is turned off, then  
press the latch at the top of the battery and slide the battery  
toward the bottom of the phone until it stops. Then lift the bat-  
tery off the phone.  
Note: If you have an extra charged battery and the currently  
installed battery becomes low during a call, you can change  
the battery without ending the call or losing the connection.  
See “Replacing a Battery During a Call” on Page 12.  
CHARGING THE BATTERY  
The nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) battery supplied with your  
telephone is shipped in a discharged state to extend the bat-  
tery’s life. It must be fully charged before you can use your  
phone.  
We recommend that you charge a new battery overnight, but  
no longer than 24 hours, using the AC charger supplied with  
your phone. Recharging time for the supplied battery is about  
3 hours, although the time varies based on the amount of  
charge left in the battery. For the recharging time of any other  
battery type, see the instructions provided with that battery.  
Follow these steps to charge the supplied (or any approved)  
battery using the charger supplied with your phone.  
1. Install the battery on the phone.  
2. Insert the charger’s flat plug into the charging jack on the  
bottom of the phone.  
Note: The plug fits into the jack only one way. If you  
have difficulty inserting the plug, turn it over and try  
again. Do not force it!  
3. Plug the charger’s power cord into a standard AC outlet.  
10  
17-1111.fm Page 11 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 2:23 PM  
Notes:  
You can use the phone while it is charging, but charg-  
ing takes longer.  
For the fastest charging, be sure the phone is turned  
off during charging, if you are not expecting a call.  
If the phone is on when you connect the charger, the  
phone beeps once and the keypad backlight remains  
on until you disconnect the charger.  
4. When the battery is fully charged, disconnect the charger  
from the AC outlet. Then press in the clips on the sides  
of the plug and pull it away from the phone to disconnect  
the charger.  
CHECKING BATTERY POWER  
When battery power becomes low, the phone displays Low  
Bat and sounds a warning tone every few seconds. When  
power becomes too low for the phone to operate, it automati-  
cally turns off. Recharge the battery as soon as possible.  
FCN  
To check the battery’s charge level at any time, press  
GHI  
4 . The battery strength meter appears on the display for  
about 5 seconds. The more bars that appear on the meter,  
the higher the battery’s current charge level. If few or no bars  
appear, the battery’s power is low.  
Notes:  
FCN  
GHI  
• If you press  
4 while the phone is charging, the  
phone flashes ChrgingBatteryfor about 5 seconds  
instead of the battery strength meter.  
11  
17-1111.fm Page 12 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 2:23 PM  
Note: Rechargeable batteries last longer and perform better  
if occasionally allowed to fully discharge. You can do this by  
leaving the phone on until it automatically turns off or you can  
use the battery discharge feature of any approved accessory  
available for your phone. Do not try to discharge the battery  
by any other means.  
REPLACING A BATTERY  
DURING A CALL  
If you have an extra charged battery and the currently in-  
stalled battery becomes low during a call, follow these steps  
to change the battery without ending the call or losing the  
connection.  
1. Tell the other party on the line what you plan to do (tell  
them, for example, that they will hear some noise as you  
remove the battery and you will call back if for any rea-  
son you lose the connection).  
2. Remove the battery, and within 3 seconds, install the  
fresh battery. Your call is still on the line.  
Note: If you do not complete Step 2 within 3 seconds,  
the call disconnects.  
12  
17-1111.fm Page 13 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 2:23 PM  
IMPORTANT BATTERY TIPS  
• Use only the supplied charger and use only batteries  
designed for this phone.  
• You can purchase additional standard or extended  
capacity batteries through your local RadioShack store.  
• When you are not using the charger, disconnect it from  
power. Do not leave the battery connected to the charger  
for more than 24 hours, since overcharging could  
shorten the battery’s life.  
• When the battery is not in use, store it uncharged in a  
cool and dark place.  
• The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts. Do  
not try to open the case.  
• For the best results, be sure the battery is at or near  
room temperature when you charge it.  
• A battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of  
times, but it eventually wears out. When the operating  
time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter  
than normal, get a new battery and recycle or properly  
dispose of the old one.  
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.  
• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or  
worn out.

BASIC OPERATION  
TURNING THE PHONE ON/OFF  
PWR  
To turn on the phone, flip down the cover then press  
.
The phone performs a short self test and sounds a tone or vi-  
brates (see “Changing the Alert Type” on Page 29), then the  
signal strength meter appears (see “Signal Strength/Service  
Area”) and the keypad backlight turns on for about 16 sec-  
onds. The phone is ready to use when the green power/lock  
indicator begins to flash.  
Notes:  
The keypad backlight turns on for about 16 seconds  
every time you press a key, then it turns off and the display  
goes blank to conserve battery power.  
PWR

blank and the green on/lock indicator turns off.  
SIGNAL STRENGTH/SERVICE AREA  
Each time you turn on the phone, clear the display, or make a  
call, the signal strength meter appears on the display to indi-  
cate the strength of the cellular signal currently being re-  
ceived. The more bars that appear on the meter, the stronger  
the signal.  
Notes:  
• If few or no bars appear (meaning the signal strength is  
weak) and you want to make or receive a call, move the  
phone to a different location so the signal strength  
increases.  
14  
17-1111.fm Page 15 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 2:23 PM  
• You can disable the signal strength meter so it does not  
appear. See “Turning the Signal Strength Meter Off/On”  
on Page 26.

MAKING EMERGENCY CALLS  
Your phone is preprogrammed to let you dial your local emer-  
gency number (such as 911) at the press of a single button,  
even if the phone is locked (see “Locking Your Phone” on  
Page 45). Before you can use this feature, however, you  
must first program the emergency number you want to use in  
memory location 01 of your phone. See “Storing Speed Dial  
Numbers” on Page 36.  
To place an emergency call once you have stored the emer-  
1
gency number, simply hold down

emergency calls using the  
1 key.  
• When you make an emergency call, give your name and  
cellular phone number, as well as the location of the inci-  
dent. Remember that your phone might be the only  
means of communication at the accident scene. Do not  
end the call until you are advised you may do so.

Using Call Screening  
The call screening function lets you set your phone so Call  
appears and the phone sounds several unique beeps (or vi-  
brates) when it receives a call, but you cannot answer the  
call. The caller receives the standard “not in service” mes-  
sage that they would normally hear when you have the phone  
turned off. This function is handy if you want to use your  
phone only for outgoing calls.  
Note: If your carrier offers no-answer transfer service (like  
call forwarding) and you subscribe to that service, turning on  
your phone’s call screening function so means Call ap-  
pears and the phone sounds several unique beeps (or vi-  
brates) when a call is received and is being transferred.

USING SCRATCHPAD MEMORY  
Your phone’s scratchpad memory lets you temporarily store a  
telephone number on the display during a call. This is handy,  
for example, when someone gives you a number during a call  
and you don’t have a place to write it down.  
To store a number in the scratchpad memory during a call,  
simply press the keys to enter that number. After you press  
END  
to end the call, you can press SND to immediately dial  
the scratchpad memory number.  
Note  
: Unless you previously selected the silent scratchpad  
feature (see “Using Silent Scratchpad” on Page 27), be sure  
to tell the other party on the call that they will hear tones as  
you press the keys to enter the number.  
MEMORY DIALING TIPS  
Frequently Dialed Area Codes/Prefixes  
To reduce the number of keystrokes you use to dial frequent-  
ly called area codes or prefixes, store that area code or prefix  
(including the 1, if necessary) in memory. To dial a number  
using that memory, simply recall that memory, enter the re-  
maining digits of the telephone number you are calling, then  
SND  
press  
to place the call.  
Banking or Other Phone Services  
For convenience, you can store in your phone’s memory the  
touch-tone command sequences you use when calling your  
bank or other phone services. See “Using Touch-Tone Ser-  
vices” on Page 61.

OTHER FEATURES  
USING THE MESSAGING FUNCTIONS  
Some cellular systems provide services that can send up to  
three different types of messages to your phone, including  
calling line ID, voice mail notification, and short (alphanumer-  
ic) messages. Your phone is preprogrammed to work with  
these services.  
Note:  
In order to use these functions on your phone, your  
cellular carrier must provide, and you must subscribe to,  
these services. Otherwise, selecting or setting them will have  
no effect. For more information about these services, call  
your cellular carrier.  
Overview/Receiving Messages  
When your phone is turned on and receives calling line ID,  
voice mail notification, or short message data from your cellu-  
lar carrier, it alternately displays:  
You See  
Meaning  
xx New  
Number (xx) of new messages received  
YY Total  
Total number (YY) of messages currently  
stored in the message stack  
Your phone stores each message in a special memory area  
called the “message stack.” The message stack can hold up  
to 20 messages at once, with messages stored in order from  
newest (memory position 1) to oldest (memory position 20).  
50  
17-1111.fm Page 51 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 2:23 PM  
Notes:  
• If the message stack is full (20 messages are currently  
stored) and the phone receives a new message, it auto-  
matically stores the new message and deletes the oldest  
message in the stack.  
• Your phone does not receive messages while it is turned  
off. Contact your cellular carrier to find out how the car-  
rier handles undeliverable/queued messages.  
Viewing/Recalling Messages  
RCL  
1. Press and release  
, then hold it down for about 1  
second. The phone displays the first (newest) message  
in the stack.  
If the message is a calling line ID message, the phone  
briefly displays CIDyy(where yy is the message num-  
ber) then the number of the party that called (up to 14  
digits).  
If the message is a short (text) message, the phone  
briefly displays yyNew(where yy is the message num-  
ber of a new message) then the message (up to 14 char-  
acters).  
If the message is voice mail notification, the phone dis-  
plays the message data (such as a message number  
and number of total/new messages waiting) sent by your  
cellular carrier. The type and format of the message wait-  
ing information sent varies by carrier — contact your cel-  
lular carrier for more information.  
Note: If there are no messages in the stack, the phone  
displays No Msgs for about 8 seconds then exits the  
CLR  
message display. To exit sooner, press

USING THE PHONE WITH HANDSFREE  
EQUIPMENT  
Your phone is preprogrammed to work with most optional  
handsfree equipment that lets you automatically switch from  
handset to handsfree mode in your vehicle when you place  
the phone in the handsfree holder.  
Some handsfree equipment might require you to turn off  
(mute) the phone’s microphone when switching to handsfree,  
using the procedure described in “Using Mute” on Page 18.  
See the owner’s manual provided with your handsfree equip-  
ment for more information, or contact your local RadioShack  
store for assistance.

17-1111.fm Page 53 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 2:23 PM  
USING THE CALL TIMERS  
Your phone has three call timers that let you check the length  
of your calls (“air time”):  
Individual call timer — times each call you make or  
answer in minutes and seconds, and automatically  
resets each time you make or answer a call or turn off  
the phone. See “Displaying the Individual Call Timer.”  
Resettable call timer — times the calls you make or  
answer in minutes, and it can be reset at any time. See  
“Using the Resettable Call Timer” on Page 54.  
Cumulative call timer — times all the calls you make or  
answer in minutes, and it cannot be reset. See “Display-  
ing the Cumulative Call Timer” on Page 54.  
Notes:  
• Each call timer begins counting when you hear the first  
ring (during an outgoing call) or when your phone rings  
(or vibrates) to signal an incoming call.  
• If your phone receives a call but you do not answer it,  
each timer resets to the time it had before it received that  
incoming call.  
Displaying the Individual Call Timer  
The individual call timer tracks each call you make in minutes  
and seconds, and automatically resets each time you make  
or answer a call or when you turn off the phone.

If you subscribe to two cellular services (for example, com-  
petitive cellular systems in your area or cellular systems in  
different cities), your dealer programs your phone with two  
different phone numbers.

Notes:  
• Calls can be made on your phone from only one phone  
number at a time, and you cannot activate the other  
phone number while a call is in progress.  
To receive calls on both numbers at the same time (if you  
subscribe to no-answer transfer or call forwarding ser-  
vice through your cellular carrier), you can set both num-  
bers to forward to the other number if not answered.  
Otherwise, a caller who calls the inactive number  
receives the standard “not in service” message.  
SETTING THE CELLULAR  
SYSTEM TYPE  
Each cellular market area has two cellular service providers.  
One of the providers is designated Provider A and the other  
Provider B. When your phone is activated for service, find out  
from your dealer whether your cellular provider is type A or B.  
Notes:  
• Usually, it is less expensive to use the same company for  
cellular service when you are in your home city and  
when you roam (see “Roaming” on Page 59). To do this,  
you need to know whether your cellular service provider  
is type A or B in your home city and in each city where  
you plan to travel.  
• It is possible for a cellular service provider to be (or have  
agreements with) Provider A in some cities and Provider  
B in others.

ROAMING  
In some areas, the cellular system’s computer automatically  
recognizes roaming telephones. In other areas, you must  
contact the service provider before it can recognize your  
phone. The operator needs to know your telephone number,  
your phone’s ESN (Electronic Serial Number), and how you  
plan to pay for your calls. There is normally an additional  
charge for roaming calls.  
Note  
: Your phone’s ESN is under the phone’s battery; how-  
ever, the roaming cellular service provider can usually auto-  
matically determine your phone’s ESN when you call.  
When you roam, the Roam indicator on your phone flashes  
slowly when the phone is using a home-type cellular system.  
The indicator flashes rapidly when the phone is using a cellu-  
lar system that is different from your home system.  
USING CELLULAR SYSTEM  
PIN DIALING  
Your cellular carrier might require that you use a personal  
identification number (PIN) when you make calls. This num-  
ber assures the cellular system that the person placing the  
call is an authorized user.  
Contact your cellular service provider to determine if a PIN is  
required and obtain the PIN (7 digits or less) to place calls  
through the cellular system you subscribe to. If a PIN is re-  
quired, follow the steps in “Storing Speed Dial Numbers” on  
Page 36 to store your PIN in memory 07, then follow the  
steps in “Enabling/Disabling PIN Dialing” on Page 60 to en-  
able PIN dialing on your phone.  
59  
17-1111.fm Page 60 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 2:23 PM  
Notes:  
• Enable PIN dialing on your phone only if it is required by  
your cellular provider.  
You must store your PIN in memory 07, otherwise your  
phone cannot properly make calls through your cellular  
system.  
• If you enter a service area that does not require PIN dial-  
ing, disable PIN dialing on your phone.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
If the phone’s power does not come on or stay on:  
• Make sure the battery is properly installed and charged.  
• Be sure that the contacts on the battery are clean. If they  
are not, clean them with a soft cloth or pencil eraser.  
• The battery charge might be too low for operation. Check  
the display and listen for the low battery warning tones.  
If the power comes on, but the phone does not work:  
• Make sure that the antenna is fully extended.  
• Be sure you selected the correct cellular system type  
(see “Setting the Cellular System Type” on Page 56).  
• Make sure that functions you might have previously  
selected (but forgotten) are not causing the phone to  
operate differently than you expect it to (see “Function  
Status Quick-Review” on Page 23).  
• Check the display for error messages.  
If you see an error message that is not covered in any section  
in this Owner’s Manual, or if your phone does not seem to be  
operating properly, contact your local RadioShack store for  
assistance.

SAFETY INFORMATION  
TRAFFIC SAFETY  
• Do not use a handheld phone while driving a vehicle. If  
using a handheld phone, park the vehicle before taking  
or making a call.  
• Always secure the phone in its holder; do not place the  
phone on the passenger seat or where it can break loose  
in a collision or sudden stop.  
• Never install a phone alert device that operates your  
vehicle’s lights or horn. This is illegal in most areas.  
Remember, always put road safety first!  
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT  
• Remember to follow all special regulations and always  
turn off your phone whenever you are required to do so,  
or when it might cause interference or be dangerous.  
• Any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular  
phones, might interfere with inadequately protected  
medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufac-  
turer of the medical device if you have any questions.  
Other electronic equipment might also be subject to  
interference.  
• As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, for  
your safety, only use your phone in the normal operating  
position (held to your ear with the antenna pointing over  
your shoulder).  
• Turn off the phone while getting gasoline (at a filling sta-  
tion). Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment  
in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas),  
chemical plants, or around blasting operations.  
67  
17-1111.fm Page 68 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 2:23 PM  
• Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explo-  
sive materials in the same compartment as a cellular  
phone or any of its parts or accessories.  
• Only qualified personnel should install or service the  
phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service might be  
dangerous and could invalidate the phone’s warranty.  
• Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-lock  
braking systems, electronic cruise control systems, and  
other electronic systems can malfunction due to the lack  
of protection from radio signals. Check regularly that all  
cellular phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and  
operating properly.  
• Turn off your cellular phone when in an aircraft. The use  
of cellular phones in an aircraft might be dangerous to  
the operation of the aircraft, disrupt cellular networks,  
and is illegal.  
Failure to observe these instructions could lead to suspen-  
sion or denial of cellular telephone services, legal action, or  
both.  
EMERGENCY CALLS  
IMPORTANT!  
This phone, like any cellular phone, operates  
using radio signals, cellular, and land-line networks, as well  
as user-programmed functions. These factors make it impos-  
sible to guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you  
should never rely solely upon any cellular phone for essential  
communications (such as medical emergencies).  
Remember, to make or receive any calls, the phone must be  
turned on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal  
strength.  
68  
17-1111.fm Page 69 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 2:23 PM  
You might not be able to make emergency calls on all cellular  
phone networks or when certain network services or phone  
features are set. Check with your local service providers.  
FCC REGULATIONS  
A cellular phone might cause TV or radio interference, even  
when it is operating properly. The FCC can require you to  
stop using your cellular phone if you cannot eliminate the in-  
terference. If you need assistance, contact your local Ra-  
dioShack store.  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Opera-  
tion is subject to the condition that this device does not cause  
harmful interference.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack CT-502 Flip-Style Handheld Cellular Tele-  
phone with Silent Vibrating Alert is an example of superior  
design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will  
help you care for your phone so you can enjoy it for years.  
• Keep the phone and all of its parts and accessories out  
of the reach of children.  
• Keep the phone dry. Liquids might contain minerals that  
corrode electronic circuits.  
• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas. Its  
moving parts can be damaged.  
• Do not store the phone in hot areas. Temperature  
extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-  
age batteries, and warp or melt plastic parts.  
• Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the phone  
warms up (to its normal operating temperature), mois-  
ture can form inside the phone, which could damage the  
phone’s electronic circuits.  
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the phone. Rough handling  
can break internal circuit boards.  
• Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it  
looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning sol-  
vents, or strong detergents to clean your phone.  
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal components  
can cause a malfunction and invalidate your phone’s warran-  
ty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your  
phone is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra-  
dioShack store for assistance.
