READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION
Each device that you connect to the phone line draws power
from the phone line. We refer to this power draw as the device’s
ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom
of the base.
If you are using 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 phone might not ring. If ringer operation is im-
paired, remove a device from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
This telephone complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules
. You must,
upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the
REN to your phone company. These numbers are on the bot-
tom of the base.
Note: You must not connect your phone to any of the following
coin-operated systems, party-line systems, or most electronic
key phone systems.
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.
Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equip-
ment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation
of this telephone. The telephone company notifies you of these

changes in advances, so you can take the necessary steps to
prevent interruption of your telephone service.
This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital de-
vice as specified in Part 15 of
FCC Rules.
These limits provide
reasonable protection against radio and TV interference in a
residential area. However, your equipment might cause TV or
radio interference even when it is operating properly. To elimi-
nate interference, you can try one or more of the following cor-
rective measures.
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the equipment and the radio
or TV.
• Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the equipment
and the radio or TV.
Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem still exists.
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.

ˆ Features
Your RadioShack 2-Line 900 MHz Handsfree Cordless Phone
combines the clarity of 900 MHz communication with portability
and convenience. The phone’s cordless keypad clips to your
belt or clothing so you can make and answer calls away from
the unit’s base. The headset allows you to use your hands while
you talk.
10-Memory Speed Dial — stores up to 10 frequently-called
phone numbers for easy dialing.
Ring/Vibrate Dual Mode Selection — lets you set the ringer to
ring, vibrate, or both.
Receiver Volume Control — lets you adjust the volume you
hear during a call.
Ample Talk and Standby Time — when fully charged (about
12 hours), the supplied battery provides about 7 hours of talk
time or 7 days of standby time.
10-Channel Auto Scan — automatically selects a clear chan-
nel when you make or answer a call.
Conference — lets you talk to parties on both lines at the same
time.
Security Access-Protection Code — prevents other cordless
phone users from using your phone line.
Hearing-Aid Compatible — lets you use your phone with hear-
ing-aids that have a T (telephone) switch.

• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal
walls, filing cabinets, wireless intercoms, security alarms,
and room monitors
The base’s location affects the phone’s range. If you have a
choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the
best performance.
Notes:
• Your telephone is designed to be connected to the tele-
phone network using a compatible modular jack that is Part
68 compliant.
• Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone
line jack. If your phone line jack is not a modular jack, you
can update the wiring yourself, using jacks and adapters
available at your local RadioShack store. Or, you can let
the phone company update the wiring for you.
• The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ14C (for
TEL LINE 1/2) or RJ11C (for both telephone line jacks).
CONNECTING THE BASE
You can power the base using the supplied 15V, 300-mA AC
adapter.

Preparation
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies
15V DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its center tip
must be set to positive and its plug must fit the
phone's 15V 300 mA jack. 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 con-
nect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter
from AC power before you disconnect it from the phone.
1. If you have a RJ14C modular telephone line jack for 2 line
usage, plug one end of the supplied 4-pin modular cord into
TEL LINE 1/2. Then plug the other end into the RJ14C mod-
ular phone line jack.
If you have two RJ11C modular telephone line jacks for
using 2 lines, plug one end of the supplied 4–pin modular
cord into TEL LINE 1/2, and one end of the supplied 2–pin
modular cord into TEL LINE 2. Then plug the modular cords’
other ends into the RJ11C modular phone line jacks.
2. Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical position.
CONNECTING AND CHARGING THE
BATTERY PACK
The phone comes with two rechargeable nickel-cadmium bat-
tery packs. You must connect the battery pack and charge it for
at least 12 hours for the first time before you use the phone.

10 Preparation
To connect the battery pack, line up
the slots on the battery pack with
the posts on the back of the keypad.
Press down and slide the battery
pack forward until the latch clicks.
To charge the battery
pack, place the keypad in
the base’s front charging
slot. The CHARGE indica-
tor at the front of the unit
lights.
To charge the spare bat-
tery pack, place it in the
rear charging slot with its
latch end facing down and
its contacts toward the rear of the base. The CHARGE indicator
between the two slots lights.
Notes:
• Recharge the battery pack anytime the LOW BATT indica-
tor flashes, or if the keypad beeps while you are on the
phone.
• When you first use the phone after charging or recharging
the battery pack, the phone might not work. Return the key-
pad to the base for about 5 seconds to reset the security
access-protection code.
• About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by
keeping the phone off the base until the LOW BATT indica-
tor flashes, or if the keypad beeps while you are on the
