Your RadioShack 900 MHz Digital Cordless Telephone with
Caller ID and Call Waiting offers the latest advances in cordless
phone technology. It combines a cordless phone and a Caller
ID unit in one system. It saves up to 50 Caller ID records that
you can review and call back. Its headset jack means you can
connect an optional headset for hands-free convenience while
you use the phone. The base’s space-saving, upright design
makes it perfect for areas where space is limited.
Your cordless phone includes these additional features:
2-Line Dot Matrix Display — lets you view a caller’s name and
number on one screen.
Caller ID Memory — Stores up to 50 Caller ID records with
name and number or name only, depending on the information
your phone company provides.
Call Waiting ID — displays Caller ID information about an in-
coming call when you are on the phone (if you subscribe to this
service from your local phone company).
New Call Indicator — lets you see at a glance that you have
new calls.
Review Scrolling — lets you scroll through all records in Caller
ID memory and stored number memory.
Callback — lets you dial the phone number in a Caller ID
record.

IMPORTANT CALLER ID INFORMATION
To use the System’s Caller ID features, you must be in an area
where Caller ID service is available and you must subscribe to
that service.
Where Caller ID is offered, one or more of the following options
are generally available:
• caller’s number only
• caller’s name only
• caller’s name and number
For the cordless phone’s Caller ID memory dial feature to oper-
ate, you must receive the caller’s number.
Important: Cordless phones such as this one require AC power
to operate. When the AC power is off, you cannot dial out or re-
ceive incoming calls using your cordless phone. For this rea-
son, the cordless 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.
Your cordless phone operates on standard radio frequencies,
as allocated by the FCC. Therefore, it is possible for other radio
units operating on similar frequencies, within certain areas, to
inadvertently intercept your conversations and/or cause interfer-
ence on your cordless telephone. This lack of privacy can occur
with any cordless telephone.

Features
READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION
We have designed your telephone to conform to federal regula-
tions, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However,
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 your phone’s 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 your phone’s base.
Note: You must not connect your phone to any of the following:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems

ˆ Installation
SELECTING A LOCATION
Select a location for the telephone that is:
• near an AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, and
metal walls or filing cabinets
• away from wireless intercoms, 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.
Note: 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 com-
pany update the wiring for you. The USOC number of the jack
to be installed is RJ11C.

Installation
CONNECTING THE PHONE
Follow these steps to set up and connect the base.
1. Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the TEL.
LINE jack on the bottom of the base.
2. Plug the supplied AC adapter’s L-shape barrel plug into the
9V DC jack on the bottom of the base.
3. Press the modular cord into the left groove and the
adapter’s cord into the right groove on the bottom of the
base.
4. Plug the modular cord’s other end into a modular phone
line jack.
5. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

10 Preparation
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power source that sup-
plies 9V DC and delivers at least 300mA. Its cen-
ter tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit
the phone's 9V DC 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.
ˆ Preparation
CONNECTING AND CHARGING THE
BATTERY PACK
Your phone comes with a rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride
battery pack. You must connect the battery pack and charge it
for at least 16 hours before you use the phone.
Important: You must install the battery pack inside the handset
before charging the phone and using it.
To connect the battery pack, slide the battery compartment cov-
er in the direction of the arrow to remove it. Install the recharge-
able battery pack in the compartment as indicated by the
polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside. Then replace the cov-
er.
