INTRODUCTION

IMPORTANT

•

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 Multi Handset Expandable Cordless

Telephone. Unlike other conventional

cordless telephones, your telephone

supports up to four handsets on a single

telephone line. You can add a handset to

any room in your home or office that has an

AC outlet. No more running to the other end

of the house to answer the phone! You can

transfer outside calls to other handsets. If

you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller ID,

the phone shows you the incoming caller

information, even when you are already

talking on the phone.

•

Your phone operates on

standard radio

frequencies as allocated

by the FCC.

It is possible for other

radio units operating

nearby on similar

Cordless phones require AC power to

operate. When the power is off, you cannot

make or receive calls by using your phone.

You should also have a phone that does not

need AC power to operate (not a cordless

phone), so you can still make and receive

frequencies to

unintentionally intercept

your conversation or

cause interference. This

possible lack of privacy

can occur with any

cordless phone.

calls if there is an AC power failure.

The digital answering system stores up to

12 minutes of messages on a computer chip

and records each message’s day and time.

This gives you advanced capabilities over

tape-based answering machines:

• You can delete individual messages

and save the rest.

• There are no tapes to bother with

and no tape mechanisms to wear

out.

The remote operation feature lets you

operate your answering system from a

touch-tone phone (or from a rotary phone

with a pocket tone dialer).

As an ENERGYSTAR Partner,

RadioShack Corporation has

determined that this product

meets the ENERGYSTAR guidelines

for energy efficiency.

IMPORTANT CALLER

ID INFORMATION

To use Caller ID and 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:

are already talking on the phone.

READ THIS BEFORE

INSTALLATION

We have designed your phone to conform

to federal regulations and you can connect it

to most phone lines. However, each device

that you connect to the telephone line draws

power from the line. We refer to this power

draw as the phone’s ringer equivalence

number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom

of your phone.

If you use more than one phone or other

device on the line, add up all the RENs. If

the total is more than five (three in rural

areas), your phones might not ring. If ringer

operation is impaired, remove one of the

devices from the line.

INSTALLATION

Before using your phone, carefully peel the

protective film off the display. The film

protects the handset window during

shipment and is not necessary for use.

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:Ô

• near an accessible AC outlet

• near a 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.

Ô NOTES Ô

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. Ô

•

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.

also controls the headset’s volume.

You can use a handset

holder (available from

your local RadioShack

store) to hang the

handset on your belt for
