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 cordless phone. For this reason, this phone should not be your only telephone. To be safe, you should also have a phone that does not require AC power to operate (not a cordless phone) so you can still make and receive calls if there is an AC power failure.

This symbol is intended to alert you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that might be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. Do not open the product’s case.

Some cordless phones operate at frequencies that might cause interference to nearby

TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless phone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR.

This symbol is intended to inform you that important operating and maintenance instructions are included in the literature accompanying this product.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the

FCC requires that you stop using your cordless phone.

In the unlikely event that this 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 telephone. The telephone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption 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.

Features

Your RadioShack 2.4 GHz 2-Line Digital

Spread Spectrum Cordless Speakerphone uses advanced cordless telephone technology to give you superior audio quality and extended range. The phone lets you place and receive calls on two separate telephone lines. It is designed to exacting standards that ensure reliability, long life, and outstanding performance.

The phone’s Caller ID unit records each caller’s telephone number (and name, if available 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 can show you the incoming caller information, even when you are already on the phone.

Your phone has these features:

2.4 GHz Operation — provides longer range with less interference than many other cordless phones.

Spread Spectrum Technology — spreads the signal across several frequencies, providing additional security for your phone conversations.

Caller ID Memory — stores up to 80 Caller

ID records (40 for each line).

Speakerphone — lets you make or answer calls without using the handset.

Dual Keypads — a set of keys on both the phone’s handset and base let you use either keypad to make and answer calls or use the phone’s features.

Backlight — lights the handset’s keypad when you press a button or when a call comes in to facilitate operation in a dark room.

40-Number Memory Dialing — lets you store up to 40 numbers in memory (30 on the handset and 10 on the base) for easy dialing.

Paging/Two-Way Intercom System — lets you send a signal from the base to the handset, or from the handset to the base, to page someone or locate the handset when it is away from the base. If someone answers, you can use the phone as an intercom.

3-Line Liquid Crystal Display — lets you view an entire Caller ID record on one screen.

Volume Control — lets you adjust the volume you hear through the handset.

Adjustable Ringer — lets you choose high or low volume for the ringers or turn it off on the handset and the base.

Facedown or Faceup Handset Charging

— you can place the handset on the base facedown or faceup.

Ample Talk and Standby Time — the supplied battery pack provides 6 hours of continuous talk time or 7 days of standby time

(when fully charged).

35 Channels — automatically selects a clear channel when you make or answer a call.

Security Access-Protection Code — automatically prevents other cordless phone users from using your phone line while the handset is off the base.

Two-Line Telephone System — lets you easily handle two telephone lines at the same time. You can use both lines to make 3 or 4 way conference calls, or one line for data communication while you are talking on the other.

Features

Line Status Indicators — show if a line is available, in use, or on hold.

Headset Jack — lets you make or answer calls with handsfree convenience using an optional headset.

Auto Talk — you can set the phone so you can answer a call by just lifting the handset from the base.

Any Key Answer — you can set the phone so you can press any key to answer a call when the handset is away from the base.

Redial — lets you quickly redial any of the last three numbers dialed on the handset, or the last number dialed on the base.

Flash — sends an electronic switchhook signal for use with special phone services, such as Call Waiting.

Tone/Pulse Dialing — lets you use your phone with either type of service, and you can easily switch from pulse to tone dialing for long-distance, bank-by-phone, or other special services.

Hearing-Aid Compatibility — lets you use your phone with hearing aids by setting the handset volume to loud.

IMPORTANT CALLER ID

INFORMATION

To use the phone’s Caller ID and Caller ID with Call Waiting features, 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

Installation

MOUNTING THE PHONE

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. Choose a location that is:

• near an AC outlet

• near a modular telephone line jack

• out of the way of normal activities

• away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal walls or filing cabinets, 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 locations, try each to see which provides the best performance.

Connecting to the Phone Lines

To take full advantage of the phone’s capabilities, you must have two phone lines with separate phone numbers. If you have only one line, you can order a second from your phone company.

You can connect the phone to the lines in one of three ways:

• connect two lines through a two-line modular phone jack

• connect two lines through two one-line modular phone jack

• connect one line through a one-line modular phone jack.

Notes:

• 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 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 line that connects a two-line phone jack to the phone company wiring must be twisted-pair cable. Otherwise, you might hear interference (crosstalk) between the two lines.

• The USOC number of the two-line jack to be installed is RJ14C (RJ14W for a wall plate). The USOC number of a single-line jack is RJ11C.

Cautions:

!

You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 400 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 disconnect it from the phone.

• The supplied RadioShack adapter was designed specifically for your phone.

Use only the supplied adapter.

CONNECTING, CHARGING,

AND REPLACING THE

BATTERY PACK

The phone comes with a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery pack installed 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 then slide off the battery compartment cover.

2. Lift the battery pack out of the compartment.

3. Plug the battery pack’s connector into the socket in the compartment (the connector fits only one way), replace the battery pack, then replace the cover.

To charge the battery pack, simply place the handset on the base, facing either up or down. The base’s CHARGE indicator lights.

Recharge the battery pack when

Bem 8Wjj[ho flashes on the handset’s display.

Important: Be sure the battery pack is properly connected before you try to charge it.

The CHARGE indicator lights when the handset is on the base even if the battery pack is not properly 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 LINE

1 or LINE 2 . If this happens, return the handset to the base for about 5 seconds. This resets the security accessprotection code.

• Using a pencil eraser, clean the charging contacts on the handset and the base about once a month.

12

Installation

• If the handset’s 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 the battery pack becomes weak during a call, the handset beeps every 3 seconds and

Bem 8Wjj[ho

flashes. When this happens, you cannot make another call on the phone until you recharge the battery pack.

• About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by keeping the handset off the base until

Bem 8Wjj[ho

flashes. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge.

• If the battery pack is completely discharged or the base loses power while the handset is away from it, place the handset on the base to reset the security access-protection code. If the handset loses power, recharge the battery pack.

The supplied battery pack should last about one 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.

Note: To avoid losing memory numbers, install and begin charging the new battery pack within 2 minutes.

Warning: Dispose of the old battery pack promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it

(see “Battery Safety Instructions” on Page 5 for additional information on proper battery handling).

If you have trouble replacing the battery, take the phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

Troubleshooting

We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you do, the following suggestions might help.

Problem

The phone does not work or works poorly.

The handset stops working or works poorly during a call.

Low volume of unusual sounds.

Severe noise interference.

Suggestion

Be sure the base’s phone line cord and AC adapter are correctly and securely connected.

Be sure the handset’s battery pack is connected and charged.

Return the handset to the base for a few seconds to reset the security access-protection code.

Move the handset closer to the base.

Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical position.

Be sure the handset’s battery pack is charged. (If the battery power is too low,

Bem 8Wjj[ho

does not flash on the handset’s display)

Someone has picked up another phone on the same phone line. Hang up the other phone.

Keep the handset and base away from computers, remote control toys, wireless microphones, alarm systems, intercoms, room monitors, fluorescent lights, and electrical appliances.

Move to another location or turn off the source of the interference.

Hang up and redial the number.

Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical position.

Be sure neither antenna is touching a metal surface.

Recharge the battery pack.

The phone cannot be operated at a useful distance from the base because the signal becomes weak or noisy (handset’s range has decreased).

The handset battery pack does not charge.

Check the charging contacts on the handset and base. If they are dirty, clean them with a pencil eraser.

Be sure the battery pack is connected correctly (see “Connecting, Charging, and Replacing the Battery Pack” on

Page 12).

Be sure the handset is properly seated on the base.

Replace the battery pack.

26

Troubleshooting

Problem

The handset does not ring or receive a page.

You have an incoming call, but do not receive any Caller ID information.

Suggestion

Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical position.

Move the handset closer to the base.

Move the handset and base away from other electrical devices.

Set the ringer volume to either high or low.

Recharge the battery pack.

If the base loses power while the handset is off of it, the security access-protection code might change. Restore power to the base, then place the handset back on the base and leave it there for a few seconds.

Check the number of devices connected to your phone line and add up the RENs. See “Read This Before Installation” on

Page 2.

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.

Call your phone company to verify that your Caller ID service is active.

If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line work properly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the problem, take your 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 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.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

RadioShack will, at its option, unless otherwise provided by law: (a) correct the defect by product repair without charge for parts and labor; (b) replace the product with one of the same or similar design; or (c) refund the purchase price. All replaced parts and products, and products on which a refund is made, become the property of RadioShack. New or reconditioned parts and products may be used in the performance of warranty service. Repaired or replaced parts and products are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. You will be charged for repair or replacement of the product made after the expiration of the warranty period.

This warranty does not cover: (a) damage or failure caused by or attributable to acts of God, abuse, accident, misuse, improper or abnormal usage, failure to follow instructions, improper installation or maintenance, alteration, lightning or other incidence of excess voltage or current; (b) any repairs other than those provided by a RadioShack Authorized Service Facility; (c) consumables such as fuses or batteries; (d) cosmetic damage; (e) transportation, shipping or insurance costs; or (f) costs of product removal, installation, set-up service adjustment or reinstallation.
