nFeatures
Your RadioShack SP-815 900 MHz Digital Cordless Telephone offers the latest advances in cordless phone
technology. Its cordless operation lets you handle calls just about anywhere in your home or office. It comes
complete with a spare battery charger that lets you keep a spare, fully charged battery on hand and ready for
use in case the handset’s battery runs low.
Its other features include:
900 MHz Digital Transmission — operates in the 900 MHz band, for a clearer signal that penetrates walls
and other physical barriers better than conventional cordless telephones, with full digital transmission between
the base and handset to eliminate static and interference.
40 Channels — automatically selects a clear channel when you make or answer a call. You can also manually
change channels during a call.
20-Number Memory Dialing — lets you store 20 numbers in memory for easy dialing.
Volume Control — so you can adjust the volume you hear through the handset.
Redial — lets you quickly redial the last number dialed.
Touch-Tone/Pulse Dialing — lets you use your phone with tone or pulse service.
Power Outage Protection — automatically switches to battery back-up during a power outage, so you can
continue using the phone.
Quick Charge — charges the handset battery in as little as 4 hours.
Memory Guard — protects the numbers you store in memory from loss when you charge the handset battery
or even in the event of a power failure.
Security Access-Protection Code — changes each time you unplug the phone from AC power, to help pre-
vent other cordless phone users from using your phone line while the handset is off the base.
Paging/Handset Locator System — lets you send a signal from the base to the handset to page someone or
locate the handset when it is away from the base.
Hold — lets you put a call on hold, so you can answer another call or page someone.
Flash — sends an electronic switchhook signal for use with special phone services such as Call Waiting.
This telephone has been tested and found to comply with all applicable UL and FCC standards.
We recommend you record your phone’s serial number here. The number is on the bottom of the base.

This symbol is intended to alert you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that
might be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. Do not open the product’s case.
This symbol is intended to inform you that important operating and maintenance instructions are included in the literature
accompanying this product.
Important: Cordless phones such as this one require AC power to operate. When the AC power is off, you
cannot dial out or receive incoming calls using your SP-515. For this reason, the SP-515 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 SP-515 operates on standard radio frequencies, as allocated by the FCC. Therefore, it is possible for oth-
er radio units operating on similar frequencies, within a certain area, to inadvertently intercept your conversa-
tions and/or cause interference on your cordless telephone. This lack of privacy can occur with any cordless
telephone.
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, your phone might not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer operation. If ringer oper-
ation is impaired, 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 bottom of the base.
Note: You must not connect your SP-515 to any of the following:
²coin-operated systems
²party-line systems
²most electronic key phone systems
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DO NOT OPEN.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
REMOVE COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, do not

SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone on a desk top or table, mount it on a standard wall plate, or mount it directly on the
wall. Select a location that is:
²near an AC outlet not controlled by a wall switch
²near a telephone line jack
²out of the way of normal activities
²away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal walls or filing cabinets, 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.
Caution: The supplied AC adapter was designed specifically for your SP-515. Use only the supplied adapter.
Notes:
²Your 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.
²The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (RJ11W for a wall plate).
PLACING THE BASE ON A DESK TOP
Follow these steps when you place the base on a desk, shelf, or table.
1Plug one end of the supplied long modular cord into the TEL LINE jack on the back of the base.
2Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug into the POWER jack on the back of the base.
3Plug the modular cord’s other end into a modular phone line jack.
4Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
5Raise the base’s antenna to a vertical position.

Installation
MOUNTING THE BASE ON A WALL
Note: To mount the base directly on the wall, you need two screws (not supplied) with heads that fit into the
keyhole slots on the bottom of the base. Drill two holes 315/16 inches (100 mm) apart, one above the other.
Then thread a screw into each hole, letting the heads extend about 5/16 inch (7 mm) from the wall.
1Remove the bracket by pressing on the arrows and gently pulling out
the wide end of the bracket.
2Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the LINE jack. Route
the modular cord through the curved channel on the bottom of the base.
Then wrap any excess modular cord around the two crescent-shaped
tabs in the mounting bracket. Plug the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug
into the POWER jack on the back of the base. Route the adapter cord
through the straight channel on the bottom of the base.
3Insert the tabs on the narrow end of the bracket into the upper slots
on the bottom of the base. Insert the loose end of the modular cord
through the center of the bracket. Route the end of the adapter cord
through the opening on the wide end of the bracket. Then push the tabs
on the wide end of the bracket into the lower slots on the bottom of the
base.
4Plug the modular cord’s other end into the wall plate jack (or a modu-
lar phone line jack), align the base’s keyhole slots with the wall plate studs
(or the screws in the wall), and slide the base downward to secure it.
5Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet. Fully extend the base’s
antenna and raise it to a vertical position.
INSTALLING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
The SP-515 is packaged with a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery pack. Before using your phone, you must
install the battery pack and then charge it for 10 hours.
1Press down and slide off the compartment cover. Plug the battery
pack connector into the phones socket. The connector fits only one way.

Preparation
Note: You can place the handset on the base faceup or facedown.
Recharge the battery pack when: the LOW BATT indicator on the handset
flashes, the phone beeps four times when you press PHONE, the LOW
BATT indicator is on when the phone is off, or the phone does not operate
when you press PHONE.
Notes:
²When you first use the phone after charging or recharging the battery pack, the phone might not work and
you might hear a two-beep signal when you press TALK. If this happens, return the handset to the base for
about 15 seconds. This resets the security access protection code.
²If the CHARGING indicator does not light when you place the handset on the base, be sure the battery pack
and AC adapter are correctly and securely connected.
Also, check the charging contacts on the handset and the base. If the
contacts are dirty or tarnished, clean them with a pencil eraser.
²If the battery pack gets completely discharged or the base loses power while the handset is away from it,
the security access-protection code needs to be reset. To reset the code, place the handset on the base for
about 15 seconds. If it was the handset that lost power, leave the handset on the base to charge the battery
pack.
²If the battery pack gets weak during a call, the handset sounds 4 beeps every 30 seconds. If this happens,
you cannot make another call on the phone until you recharge the battery pack.
²About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by keeping the handset off the base until the LOW
BATT indicator lights. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge.
²If you are not going to use your phone for an extended period of time, disconnect the battery pack. This
increases the battery pack’s usable life.
²The supplied battery pack should last for about a year. When it loses its ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement battery pack from your local RadioShack store (see “Replacing the Handset battery pack” on
Page 24).

Notes:
²The redial memory holds up to 16 digits, so you can redial long-distance as well as local numbers.
²We recommend you not use REDIAL to dial numbers that include a tone entry. This could result in a wrong
number being dialed. (See “Using Tone Services on a Pulse Line” on Page 12.)
²The redial memory does not store a flash entry or any digits entered after you press FLASH (see “Using
Flash” on Page 12).
USING FLASH
FLASH performs the electronic equivalent of a switchhook operation for special services, such as Call Waiting.
For example, if you have Call Waiting, press FLASH to answer an incom-
ing call without disconnecting the current call. Press FLASH again to re-
turn to the first call.
Note: If you do not have any special phone services, pressing FLASH might disconnect the current call.

a Number in Memory
Notes:
²If the dialing mode is set for pulse service and you want to use tone dialing for a memory number, you must
store a tone as the first entry of the number (see “Using Tone Services on a Pulse Line” on Page 12).
²Do not store a number with both pulse and tone entries in the same memory location. This could result in a
wrong number being dialed.
²Each pause (see “Entering a Pause” on Page 13) and tone entry uses one digit of memory.
²To keep your accounts secure, we recommend you do not store your personal access code for services
such as bank-by-phone in a memory location.
²An error tone sounds and the phone exits the programming mode if you wait more than 15 seconds
between each keypress or enter more than 24 digits. You must start over at Step 1.

Remote Operation
nRemote Operation
While you are away from your home or office, you can use a touch-tone phone or a pulse (rotary) phone with a
pocket tone dialer to enter your remote operation security code and do any of the following:
²set the TAD to answer calls
²listen to your messages
²record a new announcement
²record a memo
²delete messages
Note: You cannot remotely operate the TAD from another phone on the same line as your SP-515.
You can also use your SP-515 handset to operate many of the TAD features.
USING THE TOLL-SAVER
If the ring select switch is set to SA (toll-saver) (see “Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 9), the TAD an-
swers after two rings if you have new messages. If there are no new messages, the TAD waits for four rings
before it answers. This gives you time to hang up before the TAD answers so you can avoid unnecessary long-
distance charges.
USING REMOTE COMMANDS
Whether you are using the handset or calling from a touch-tone phone, you press the same buttons to operate
the TAD. The only difference is the way you connect with the answering system.
From a remote touch-tone phone:
Dial your phone number. When the TAD answers, enter your remote access code. The TAD announces
the number of messages and beeps twice to confirm that you entered the correct code.
Notes:
²If you do not enter each digit of the remote access code within 8 seconds, the TAD hangs up.
²If the TAD is not set to answer calls or the memory is full, it will answer after 10 rings.
From the handset:
Press ANS SYS. The ANS SYS indicator lights. The TAD announces the number of messages and beeps
twice.
After connecting with the TAD, enter a remote command (see “Remote Commands” on Page 21), or press 5to
hear voice prompts, or wait until the TAD begins playing all messages (after about 4 seconds).
When you finish, simply hang up (remote phone) or press ANS SYS (SP-515’s handset).
