6FeaturesˆFeaturesYour RadioShack 900 MHz Cordless Tele-phone uses advanced technology to give yousuperior 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 ofthe call, as provided by your local phonecompany to Caller ID service subscribers. Ifyou subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller ID,the phone shows you the incoming caller in-formation, even when you are already talkingon the phone.Your phone’s other features include:10-Number Memory Dialing — lets youstore up to 10 numbers in memory for easydialing.Headset Jack — lets you connect an option-al headset for hands-free convenience.Hearing-Aid Compatibility — lets you usethe phone with hearing aids that have a T(telephone) switch.20-Record CID Capacity — stores up to 20call records in Caller ID.Volume Control — lets you adjust thevolume you hear through the handset.Page — lets you send a signal from the baseto the handset to page someone or to helpyou locate the handset.Adjustable Ringer/Tone Volume — letsyou choose between two volumes and tonesfor the phone’s ringer.Facedown or Faceup Handset Charging— you can place the handset on the basefacedown or faceup to show the Caller IDdisplay.Ample Talk and Standby Time — the sup-plied battery (when fully charged) providesabout 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 thehandset is off the base.Auto Talk — lets you set the phone to an-swer a call by simply lifting the handset fromthe base.Important:• Cordless phones such as this onerequire AC power to operate. When thepower is off, you cannot make or receivecalls using your phone. To be safe, youshould also have a phone that does notneed AC power to operate (not a cord-less phone), so you can still make andreceive calls if there is an AC power fail-ure.• When AC power is lost, the phone losesthe security access-protection code con-nection between the base and the hand-set. When power is restored, put thehandset on the base briefly to restorethis connection so you can use thehandset.• Your phone operates on standard radiofrequencies as allocated by the FCC. Itis possible for other radio units operatingnearby on similar frequencies to unin-tentionally intercept your conversation orcause interference. This possible lack ofprivacy can occur with any cordlessphone.43-1122.C.fm Page 6 Wednesday, December 13, 2000 1:56 PM
7InstallationˆInstallationSELECTING A LOCATIONYou can place the phone’s base on a desk ortable, or mount it on a standard wall plate ordirectly 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, androom monitors• away from other cordless phonesThe base’s location affects the handset’srange. If you have a choice of several loca-tions, try each to see which provides the bestperformance.Cautions:You must use a Class 2 powersource that supplies 9V DCand delivers at least 210 mA.Its center tip must be set to positive andits plug must fit the phone's DC IN 9Vjack. The supplied adapter meets thesespecifications. Using an adapter thatdoes not meet these specificationscould damage the phone or the adapter.• Always connect the AC adapter to thephone before you connect it to ACpower. When you finish, disconnect theadapter 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 canupdate the wiring yourself using jacks andadapters (available at your local RadioShackstore), or have the telephone company up-date the wiring for you. You must use com-patible modular jacks that are compliant withPart 68 of FCC Rules.Note: The USOC number of the jack to beinstalled is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall platejack).On a Desk TopFollow these steps to place the base on adesk, shelf, or table. 1. Plug one end of the supplied long modu-lar cord into the TEL LINE jack on theback of the base.2. Plug the modular cord’s other end into amodular phone line jack.3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrelplug into the DC IN 9V jack on the back ofthe base.4. Route the adapter’s cord through thestrain 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.!Strain Relief Slot43-1122.C.fm Page 7 Wednesday, December 13, 2000 1:56 PM
8InstallationOn a Wall Plate1. Plug one end of the supplied short mod-ular cord into the TEL LINE jack on theback of the base.2. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrelplug into the DC IN 9V jack on the back ofthe base.3. Route the adapter and modular cordsthrough the grooves on the bottom ofthe base.4. Plug the short modular cord into the wallplate jack, then align the base’s keyholeslots with the wall plate studs and slidethe base down to secure it.5. Plug the adapter into a standard AC out-let.6. Push up on the handset holder, then liftand remove it. Turn it over and rotate itso that the oval-shaped indention is atthe bottom, then slide it down into itsslot. Snap it back into place so that itholds the handset.On a WallTo mount the phone directly on a wall, youneed two screws (not supplied) with headsthat fit into the keyhole slots on the bottom ofthe base.1. Drill two holes 315/16inches (100 mm) apart.Then thread a screwinto each hole, lettingthe heads extend about1/8 inch (3 mm) from thewall.2. Plug one end of the supplied long modu-lar cord into the TEL LINE jack on theback of the base.3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrelplug into the DC IN 9V jack on the back ofthe base.4.

9Installation6. Plug the modular cord’s other end intothe phone jack, and plug the adapterinto a standard AC outlet.CONNECTING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY PACKThe phone comes with a rechargeablenickel-cadmium battery pack in the handset,but not connected. Before using your phone,you must connect the battery pack, thencharge it for about 24 hours.1. Press down and slide off the batterycompartment cover.2. Lift the battery pack out of the compart-ment. 3. Plug the battery pack’s connector intothe socket in the compartment (the con-nector fits only one way), then place thebattery 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 baselights 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 whenthe handset is on the base, even if the bat-tery pack is not connected. Notes:• When you first use the phone aftercharging or recharging the battery pack,the phone might not work and you mighthear an error tone when you pressTALK. Return the handset to the base forabout 5 seconds to reset the securityaccess-protection code.• If the base loses power for about anhour while the handset is away from it,the security access-protection codemight be lost. To reset the code, returnthe handset to the base for about 5 sec-onds.The handset does not lose its securityaccess-protection code even if the bat-tery pack is completely discharged.• Using a pencil eraser, clean the charg-ing contacts on the handset and baseabout once a month.• If the battery pack becomes weak duringa call, the handset beeps every 3 sec-onds and Low Battery flashes. Whenthis happens, you cannot make a calluntil you recharge the battery pack.• About once a month, fully discharge thebattery by keeping the handset off thebase until Low Battery flashes onthe display. Otherwise, the battery packloses its ability to fully recharge.• If the display is blank and the phonedoes not work, recharge the batterypack. (The battery power might be toolow to light the display.)• If you are not going to use your phonefor an extended period, disconnect thebattery pack. This increases the batterypack’s usable life.43-1122.C.fm Page 9 Wednesday, December 13, 2000 1:56 PM
10 Installation• The supplied battery pack should last forabout a year. If the battery pack doesnot hold a charge for more than 2 hoursafter an overnight charge, replace it witha new 3.6-volt, 600 mAh battery packwith a connector that fits the socket inthe battery compartment. You can ordera replacement battery pack through yourlocal RadioShack store. Install the newbattery pack and charge it for about 24hours.Warning: Dispose of the old battery packpromptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it.See “Battery Safety Instructions” on Page 4for additional information on proper batteryhandling.If you have trouble replacing the batterypack, take the phone to your localRadioShack for assistance.Important: The EPA certifiedRBRC® Battery Recycling Sealon the nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd)battery indicates RadioShackis voluntarily participating in anindustry program to collect and recycle thesebatteries at the end of their useful life, whentaken out of service in the United States orCanada.

19TroubleshootingIf 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 toyour local RadioShack store for assistance.CAREKeep 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 phoneaway 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 andmight invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your telephone isnot performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. If the troubleis affecting the telephone lines, the phone company can ask you to disconnect your telephoneuntil 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.Problem Suggestions43-1122.C.fm Page 19 Wednesday, December 13, 2000 1:56 PM
