Read This Before Installation
This telephone has been tested and found to
comply with all applicable UL and FCC stan-
dards.
We have designed your 900MHz Cordless
Phone with Call Waiting/Caller ID to conform
to federal regulations, and you can connect it
to most telephone lines. However, each de-
vice, such as a telephone or answering ma-
chine, that you connect to the telephone line
draws power from the telephone line. We re-
fer to this power draw as the device's ringer
equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on
the bottom of your phone.
If you use more than one phone or other de-
vice 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 oper-
ation is impaired, remove a device from the
line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC
Rules. You must, upon request, provide the
FCC registration number and the REN to
your telephone company. Both numbers are
on the bottom of your telephone.
Note: You must not connect your telephone
to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key telephone systems
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone causes
problems on the phone line, the phone com-
pany can temporarily discontinue your ser-
vice. 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 proce-
dures that could affect the operation of this
telephone. The telephone company notifies
you of these changes in advance, so you can

take the necessary steps to prevent interrup-
tion of your telephone service.
LIGHTNING
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. Neverthe-
less, 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.

ˆ
Features
Your RadioShack 900 MHz Cordless Tele-
phone uses advanced technology to give you
superior audio quality and extended range.
The phone’s Caller ID unit records each call-
er’s telephone number (and name, if avail-
able 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 in-
formation, even when you are already talking
on the phone.
Your phone’s other features include:
10-Number Memory Dialing — lets you
store up to 10 numbers in memory for easy
dialing.
Headset Jack — lets you connect an option-
al headset for hands-free convenience.
Hearing-Aid Compatibility — lets you use
the phone with hearing aids that have a T
(telephone) switch.
20-Record CID Capacity — stores up to 20
call records in Caller ID.
Volume Control — lets you adjust the
volume you hear through the handset.
Page — lets you send a signal from the base
to the handset to page someone or to help
you locate the handset.
Adjustable Ringer/Tone Volume — lets
you choose between two volumes and tones
for the phone’s ringer.
Facedown or Faceup Handset Charging
— you can place the handset on the base
facedown or faceup to show the Caller ID
display.
Ample Talk and Standby Time — the sup-
plied battery (when fully charged) provides
about 7 hours of talk time or 7 days of stand-
by time.
Security Access-Protection Code — auto-
matically prevents other cordless phone us-
ers from using your phone line while the
handset is off the base.
Auto Talk — lets you set the phone to an-
swer a call by simply lifting the handset from
the base.
Important:
• Cordless phones such as this one
require AC power to operate. When the
power is off, you cannot make or receive
calls using your phone. To be safe, you
should also have a phone that does not
need AC power to operate (not a cord-
less phone), so you can still make and
receive calls if there is an AC power fail-
ure.
• When AC power is lost, the phone loses
the security access-protection code con-
nection between the base and the hand-
set. 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 unin-
tentionally intercept your conversation or
cause interference. This possible lack of
privacy can occur with any cordless
phone.

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:
• near an accessible AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery, electri-
cal appliances, metal walls or filing cabi-
nets, 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 loca-
tions, try each to see which provides the best
performance.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 9V DC
and delivers at least 210 mA.
Its center tip must be set to positive and
its plug must fit the phone's DC IN 9V
jack. The supplied adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications
could damage the phone or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the
phone before you connect it to AC
power. When you finish, disconnect the
adapter from AC power before you dis-
connect it from the phone.
Your telephone connects directly to a modu-
lar telephone line jack. If your telephone wir-
ing 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 up-
date the wiring for you. You must use com-
patible modular jacks that are compliant with
Part 68 of
FCC Rules
.
Note: The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate
jack).
On a Desk Top
Follow these steps to place the base on a
desk, shelf, or table.
1. Plug one end of the supplied long modu-
lar cord into the TEL LINE jack on the
back of the base.
2. Plug the modular cord’s other end into a
modular phone line jack.
3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel
plug into the DC IN 9V jack on the back of
the base.
4. Route the adapter’s cord through the
strain relief slot on the base.
5. Plug the adapter into a standard AC out-
let.
6. Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical posi-
tion.

1. Plug one end of the supplied short mod-
ular cord into the TEL LINE jack on the
back of the base.
2. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel
plug into the DC IN 9V jack on the back of
the base.
3. Route the adapter and modular cords
through the grooves on the bottom of

4. Plug the short modular cord into the wall
plate jack, then align the base’s keyhole
slots with the wall plate studs and slide
the base down to secure it.
5. Plug the adapter into a standard AC out-
let.
6. Push up on the handset holder, then lift
and remove it. Turn it over and rotate it
so that the oval-shaped indention is at
the bottom, then slide it down into its
slot. Snap it back into place so that it
holds the handset.
On a Wall
To mount the phone directly on a wall, you
need two screws (not supplied) with heads
that fit into the keyhole slots on the bottom of
the base.
1. Drill two holes 315/16
inches (100 mm) apart.
Then thread a screw
into each hole, letting
the heads extend about
1/8 inch (3 mm) from the
wall.
2. Plug one end of the supplied long modu-
lar cord into the TEL LINE jack on the
back of the base.
3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel
plug into the DC IN 9V jack on the back of
the base.
4. Route the adapter and modular cords
through the grooves on the bottom of
the base.
5. Align the bracket’s keyhole slots with the
mounting screws and slide the base
downward to secure it.

CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE BATTERY
PACK
The phone comes with a rechargeable
nickel-cadmium battery pack in the handset,
but not connected. Before using your phone,
you must connect the battery pack, then
charge it for about 24 hours.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
compartment cover.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the compart-
ment.
3. Plug the battery pack’s connector into
the socket in the compartment (the con-
nector fits only one way), then place the
battery pack in the compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, place the hand-
set either faceup or facedown on the base.
The CHARGE/IN USE indicator on the base
lights and Total:00 appears on the hand-
set display.
Recharge the battery pack when Low Bat-
tery flashes on the display.
Important: Be sure the battery pack is prop-
erly connected before you try to charge it.
The CHARGE/IN USE indicator lights when
the handset is on the base, even if the bat-
tery pack is not connected.
Notes:
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery pack,
the phone might not work and you might
hear an error tone when you press
TALK. Return the handset to the base for
about 5 seconds to reset the security
access-protection code.
• If the base loses power for about an
hour while the handset is away from it,
the security access-protection code
might be lost. To reset the code, return
the handset to the base for about 5 sec-
onds.
The handset does not lose its security
access-protection code even if the bat-
tery pack is completely discharged.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the charg-
ing contacts on the handset and base
about once a month.
• If the battery pack becomes weak during
a call, the handset beeps every 3 sec-
onds and Low Battery flashes. When
this happens, you cannot make a call
until you recharge the battery pack.
• About once a month, fully discharge the
battery by keeping the handset off the
base until Low Battery flashes on
the display. Otherwise, the battery pack
loses its ability to fully recharge.
• If the display is blank and the phone
does not work, recharge the battery
pack. (The battery power might be too
low to light the display.)
• If you are not going to use your phone
for an extended period, disconnect the
battery pack. This increases the battery
pack’s usable life.
43-1122.C.fm Page 9 Wednesday, December 13, 2000 1:56 PM
10 Installation
• The supplied battery pack should last for
about a year. If the battery pack does
not hold a charge for more than 2 hours
after an overnight charge, replace it with
a new 3.6-volt, 600 mAh battery pack
with a connector that fits the socket in
the battery compartment. You can order
a replacement battery pack through your
local RadioShack store. Install the new
battery pack and charge it for about 24
hours.
Warning: Dispose of the old battery pack
promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it.
See “Battery Safety Instructions” on Page 4
for additional information on proper battery
handling.
If you have trouble replacing the battery
pack, take the phone to your local
RadioShack for assistance.
Important: The EPA certified
RBRC® Battery Recycling Seal
on the nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd)
battery indicates RadioShack
is voluntarily participating in an
industry program to collect and recycle these
batteries at the end of their useful life, when
taken out of service in the United States or
Canada. The RBRC program provides a con-
venient alternative to placing used Ni-Cd bat-
teries into the trash or the municipal waste
stream, which may be illegal in your area.
Please call 1-800-THE-SHACK (1-800-843-
7422) for information on Ni-Cd battery recy-
cling and disposal bans/restrictions in your
area. RadioShack’s involvement in this pro-
gram is part of the company’s commitment to
preserving our environment and conserving
our natural resources.

ˆ
Caller ID Operation
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone company
sends information about the call, as well as
the time and date, between the first and sec-
ond rings of every call you receive. The
phone displays this information after the sec-
ond ring, and it stores up to 20 Caller ID
records for later review. It also shows if the
caller information is unavailable or if the
name and number were blocked by the caller
(see “Caller ID Messages”).
If you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller
ID, you hear a tone through the handset
when a call comes in, then the Caller ID
record appears.
If the phone’s Caller ID memory becomes
full, any new call replaces the oldest call’s
record.
IMPORTANT CALLER ID
INFORMATION
To use the phone’s Caller ID and Caller ID

Troubleshooting
We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you do, these suggestions
might help.
Problem Suggestions
The phone does not
work or works poorly.
Be sure the base’s phone line cord and AC adapter are correctly and securely
connected.
Be sure the battery pack in the handset is connected and charged.
Return the handset to the base for about 5 seconds to reset the security
access-protection code.
The display flashes
slowly when the hand-
set is faceup on the
base.
Make sure the battery pack in the handset is properly connected.
The handset stops
working or works
poorly during a call.
Move the handset closer to the base.
Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical position.
Be sure the handset’s battery pack is charged. (If the battery pack power is too
low, the handset cannot display Low Battery.)
Low volume or
unusual sounds.
Someone has picked up another phone on the same line. Hang up the other
phone.
Your conversation is
difficult to hear due to
dropout or muting.

trical appliances.
Move to another location or turn off the source of interference.
Press CH to change the channel.
Hang up and redial the number.
The phone cannot be
operated at a useful
distance from the base
because the signal

Troubleshooting
If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line work proper-
ly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the problem, take the phone to
your local RadioShack store for assistance.
CARE
Keep the phone dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the phone only in nor-
mal 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 telephone’s internal components can cause a malfunction and
might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your telephone 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 telephone
until you have resolved the problem.
The handset does not
ring or receive a page.
Move the handset closer to the base.
Lift base’s antenna to a vertical position.
Be sure the battery pack in the handset is connected and charged.
Move the base away from other electrical devices.
You have an incoming
call, but do not receive
any Caller ID informa-
tion.
Let the phone ring twice before you answer so the system has time to record
the Caller ID information.
Check that the system is correctly and securely connected.
Check with your phone company to verify that your Caller ID service is active.
