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.  
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.  
from a Caller ID  
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  
3
 
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  
most electronic key  
telephone systems  
Also, the phone company can make  
changes to its lines, equipment,  
operations, or procedures that could  
affect the operation of this phone. The  
telephone company notifies you of these  
changes in advance, so you can take  
the necessary steps to prevent  
interruption of your telephone service.Ô  
SURGE PROTECTION  
Your phone 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 phone or power lines can  
damage your phone.  
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.

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 cordless  
phone), so you can still  
make and receive calls  
if there is an AC power  
failure.  
INTRODUCTION  
Thank you for purchasing RadioShack  
Handsfree Phone. It combines the  
clarity of 900 MHz communication with  
portability and convenience. The  
cordless handset clips to your belt or  
clothing so you can make and answer  
calls away from the base. The headset  
allows you to use your hands while you  
talk. 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  
shows you the incoming caller  
When AC power is lost,  
the phone loses the  
security access-

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

CONNECTING/CHARGING  
THE BATTERY PACK  
The phone comes with a rechargeable  
nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery  
pack in the handset, but not connected.  
Before using your phone, you must  
connect the battery pack, then charge it  
for about 15–20 hours.  
Ô NOTE Ô

from it, the security access  
protection code might be lost.  
Place the handset on the base to  
reset the code.  
WARNING  
o
o
Dispose of the old  
battery pack promptly  
and properly. Do not  
burn or bury it. See  
“Battery Safety  
Instructions” on Page 9  
for additional information  
on proper battery  
handling.  
• If the battery pack becomes weak  
during a call, the handset beeps  
every 3 seconds and Low Battery  
flashes. When this happens, you  
cannot make a call until you  
recharge the battery pack.  
• 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.)  
• About once a month, fully  
discharge the battery by keeping  
the handset off the base until Low  
Batteryflashes on the display.  
Otherwise, the battery pack loses  
its ability to fully recharge.

the base to recharge the battery  
pack and reset the code.  
• Using a dry cloth, clean the  
charging contacts on the handset  
and base 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, 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

company sends information about the  
call, as well as the time and date,  
between the first and second rings of

every call you receive. The phone  
displays this information after the  
second ring, and it stores up to 30  
Caller ID records for later review. It also  
shows if the caller information is

were blocked by the caller (see “Caller  
ID Messages” on Page 35).  
If you subscribe to Call Waiting with
