INTRODUCTION

IMPORTANT

•

Your phone operates on

standard radio

frequencies as allocated

by the FCC.

Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 5.8

GHz Multi Handset Expandable Cordless

Telephone. Unlike other conventional

cordless telephones, your telephone

supports up to ten 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.

It is possible for other

radio units operating

nearby on similar

frequencies to

unintentionally intercept

your conversation or

cause interference. This

possible lack of privacy

can occur with any

cordless phone.

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).

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

calls if there is an AC power failure.

IMPORTANT

INFORMATION

This telephone has been tested and found

to comply with all applicable UL and FCC

standards.

As an ENERGYSTAR Partner,

RadioShack Corporation has

determined that this product

meets the ENERGYSTAR

guidelines for energy

efficiency.

FCC STATEMENT

Your telephone compiles with Part 68 of the

FCC Rules.Upon request, you must provide

the phone’s FCC registration number and

REN to your phone company. These

numbers are on the base unit.

Your phone is not intended to be used with

party-line systems. Connection to party line

service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the

state public utility commission, public

service commission, or corporation

commission for information. Ô

We have designed your phone to conform to

federal regulations, and you can connect it to

most telephone lines. However, each phone

(and each device, such as a telephone or

answering machine) that you connect to the

telephone line draws power from the

telephone line. We refer to this power draw

as the device’s ringer equivalence number,

or REN on the back of your phone.

If you use more than one phone or other

device 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 operation is impaired, remove a

device from the line.

In the unlikely event that your 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.

Ô NOTE Ô

You must not connect your

phone to:

•

coin-operated systems

established criteria for the amount of radio

frequency energy various products may

produce depending on their intended usage.

This product has been tested and found to

comply with the FCC’s exposure criteria.

For body worn operation, the FCC RF

exposure guidelines were also met when

used with the RadioShack accessories

supplied or designed for this product. Use of

other accessories may not ensure

compliance with FCC RF exposure

guidelines and should be avoided.

SURGE PROTECTION

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.

Nevertheless, 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should

always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to

persons, including the following:

1. Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bathtub,

wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a

swimming pool.

2. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an

electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from

lightning.

3. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the

leak.

4. Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with

local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

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:

• caller’s number only

• caller’s name only

• caller’s name and number

If you subscribe to Call Waiting ID and

Caller ID, the system can show you the

incoming caller information, even when you

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

Ô NOTE Ô

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.

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.

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.

The handset antenna is located on the

back, above the ringer speaker. For

maximum communication range, do not

hold the handset in such a way as to cover

the antenna by your hand. Also, place the

handset in the upright position while not in

use so the antenna can pick up the signals

from the base.

Correct

When there is obstacle such as metal or

concrete wall between the handset and the

base, the operation might be affected. Try to

keep free from obstruction.

Incorrect

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

Ô NOTE Ô

The USOC number of the

jack to be installed is

RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall

plate jack).

loses its ability to fully recharge.

• Using a damp cloth, clean the charging

contacts on the handset about once a

month.

• 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.

• 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,

You can use a handset

holder (available from

your local RadioShack

store) to hang the

handset on your belt for

greater convenience

when using a headset.

With a headset connected, you can make or

answer calls as usual using the keys on the

handset.

When you finish using the headset,

disconnect it from the handset and close the

rubber cover to protect the jack.
