FEATURES
Your RadioShack Emergency Phone Di-
aler lets you call for help, even when you
cannot reach the phone. The system in-
cludes a console and a call pendant.
Just press the call pendant’s button and
the console’s built-in dialer calls a friend
or neighbor whose phone number you
have stored. The system then plays a
message recorded in your own voice
and gives the called person the option of
listening in through the system’s built-in
microphone.
The Phone Dialer’s console is Plug ’n
Power®compatible. Its expandable de-
sign lets you add more call pendants or
Plug ’n Power modules to control lamps,
appliances, and other electrical devices
(see “Expanding Your System” on
Page 13).
The Emergency Phone Dialer has these
features:
House Code Selector — lets you con-
trol which optional Plug ’n Power mod-
ules are controlled by the system.
Unit Code Selector — lets you control
which lamps or appliances connected to
a Plug ’n Power module are turned on
when you use the system.
AC Power Indicator — shows that your
system has power.
Backup Batter
y
Indicator — tells you
when it is time to change the backup
battery.
Simple Controls — make it easy to set
up and operate your system.
Built-in Piezo Siren — 95dB siren
alerts people in or near your home when
you need help.
Four Number Memor
y
— stores up to
four phone numbers for the dialer to call
when you need help.
Dialer — dials a friend or neighbor for
assistance and plays back a message
recorded in your own voice.
Wireless Call Pendant — lets you acti-
vate either the dialer or the alarm with
the touch of a button. And, it is water re-
sistant so you can even wear it while
showering, washing dishes, or working
around water.
Panic Alarm — lets you sound the
alarm without the system dialing out, so
you can get immediate help from some-
one in or near your home.
Built-in Microphone — lets the person
you call press any number button on
their touch-tone phone and listen to
what is happening in the room where the
console is located.
Caution: You should not immerse the
call pendant in water. For example, do
not wear it while swimming. The pen-
dant is water resistant, not waterproof.

READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your Emergency
Phone Dialer’s console 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 dialer.
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, your phones
might not ring. In rural areas, a total
REN of three might impair ringer opera-
tion. If ringer operation is impaired, re-
move one of the devices from the line.

FCC STATEMENT
Your console’s telephone dialer com-
plies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules
. You
must, upon request, provide the FCC
registration number and the REN to your
telephone company. Both numbers are
on the bottom of the console.
Note: You must not connect your con-
sole to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key telephone sys-
tems
This equipment complies with the limits
for a Class B digital device 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 corrective mea-
sures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
• Increase the distance between the
equipment and the radio or TV.
• Use outlets on different electrical cir-
cuits for the equipment and the
radio or TV.
Consult your local Radio Shack store if
the problem still exists.
If you cannot eliminate the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your system.

INSTALLING THE SYSTEM
INSTALLING A BACKUP
BATTERY IN THE
CONSOLE
If AC power fails or you unplug the con-
sole, a 9V backup battery (not supplied)
saves all of the information stored in the
console’s memory. To provide at least
12 hours of backup time, we recom-
mend an alkaline battery such as Ra-
dioShack Cat. No. 23-553.
Caution: Use only a fresh battery of the
required size and recommended type.
Follow these steps to install a backup
battery.
1. Slide the battery compartment cover
in the direction of the arrow to
remove it.
2. Snap the battery’s contacts firmly to
the battery connector and place the
battery into the compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
Replace the battery at least once each
year or when the BATTERY LOW indi-
cator on the console lights.
Note: To avoid losing stored informa-
tion, do not unplug the console from AC
power while you replace the battery.
Cautions:
• Always remove an old or weak bat-
tery. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can destroy electronic parts.
• Dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury
them.

CHOOSING A LOCATION
Before connecting the console, look for
a location with these conditions in mind.
• Choose a location near a modular
phone line jack and an AC outlet
that is not controlled by a wall
switch.
• Think of the areas where you are
likely to use the call pendant, and
look for a location central to and
within about 50 feet of those areas.
• Because the console’s loud alarm
can be startling if it goes off while
you are nearby or in a small room,
you should place the console in an
open area, such as a living room.
• Try to place the console near a win-
dow, so neighbors are more likely to
hear the alarm.
CONNECTING THE
CONSOLE
Notes:
• The console connects to a modular
telephone line jack. If your phone
line jack is not modular, you can up-
date it yourself, using jacks and
adapters available at your local Ra-
dioShack store. Or, you can let the
phone company update it for you.
• The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C.
1. Plug the supplied modular line cord
into the jack on the back of the con-
sole, and plug the other end into a
modular telephone line jack.
Note: If you do not have an open
jack, use the supplied 1-to-2 jack
adapter to connect the console and
a telephone to the same jack.
2. Plug the console into an AC outlet
that is not controlled by a wall
switch.
49-2559.fm Page 7 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 3:29 PM

3. Set the switch on the bottom of the
console to TONE (touch-tone) or
PULSE (rotary) dialing, based on the
type of service you have.
Im
p
ortant: If the friend or neighbor
whom you choose to accept calls
from your system does not have
touch-tone service, they need to use
a phone that has a tone-pulse
switch. They must send tones to
respond to the dialer’s message.
4. Fully extend the antenna and raise it
to a vertical position.
INITIALIZING THE CALL
PENDANT
After you connect the console, you must
initialize the call pendant so the console
recognizes the pendant’s commands.
1. Set Install/Run all the way to Install.
2. Press EMERGENCY CALL on the call
pendant. The call pendant’s battery
indicator lights and the console
sounds a tone.
3. Set Install/Run to Run.
If you do not hear a tone, remove the
battery from the pendant (see “Testing
and Replacing the Call Pendant’s Bat-
tery” on Page 9). Put the battery back
into the pendant, press EMERGENCY
CALL, and check that the pendant’s bat-
tery indicator flashes twice. Then initial-
ize the call pendant.
You can use up to eight call pendants
with the console for additional security
or for family members. Repeat this pro-
cedure for each additional pendant.

Testing and Replacing the Call
Pendant’s Battery
The call pendant comes with a 3-volt
lithium battery installed. This battery will
last up to 5 years with normal use.
To test the call pendant’s battery, set In-
stall/Run to Install, then press STOP on
the call pendant. If the battery indicator
flashes, the battery is good. If the indica-
tor is dim or does not light, replace the
battery. We recommend a type CR2025
battery, such as RadioShack Cat. No.
23-161.
Follow these steps to replace the call
pendant battery.
Caution: Use only a fresh battery of the
required size and recommended type.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove
the two screws from the back of the
call pendant, then remove the back
of the pendant.
2. Remove the old battery, but not the
cardboard backing beneath it.
Warnin
g
:Keep batteries out of the
reach of children. Swallowing a lith-
ium battery can be fatal.
3. Insert a fresh battery with the posi-
tive (+) side facing up.
Screws Battery
4. Replace the back of the pendant
and secure it with the screws.
Note: Ensure the seal between the
front and back covers is not pinched
when replacing the back cover.
Cautions:
• Always remove an old or weak bat-
tery. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can destroy electronic parts.
• Dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury
them.
After you have installed the new battery,
re-initialize the call pendant (see “Initial-
izing the Call Pendant” on Page 8).
STORING PHONE
NUMBERS
The system can store up to four num-
bers. When you press EMERGENCY
CALL on the call pendant, the dialer will
call each stored number until it receives
a response, you press STOP on the call
pendant, or the system has dialed for 4
minutes without receiving a response.
See “Using the System” on Page 12 for
more details.

Important: Only program the dialer to
call persons with whom you have dis-
cussed your Emergency Phone Dialer.
You should
not
program the dialer to call
the police or other emergency services
directly.
Follow these steps to store your chosen
phone numbers.
1. Set Install/Run to Install.
2. Press PROG.
3. Enter the first phone number that
you want the dialer to call in the
event of a problem.
4. Press MEM.
5. Press 1to store the phone number
in memory location 1.
To store additional numbers, repeat
Steps 2–5, but store the numbers (in
Step 5) in memory locations 2, 3, or 4.
You should store a number in each of
the 4 memory locations, even if you
have to store the same number more
than once.
RECORDING YOUR
MESSAGE
The message you record on your sys-
tem can be up to 15 seconds long and
should tell the person called that you
need help. Be sure the message states
that the listener can press any number
on their touch-tone phone to listen in. A
typical message might be:
“This is your neighbor Jane. I need help.
Please press any number button on your
phone so you can listen in, then come to
my house as quickly as you can.”
Follow these steps to record your mes-
sage.
1. Plug the supplied earphone into the
jack on the right side of the console.
49-2559.fm Page 10 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 3:29 PM

2. Set Install/Run to Install.
3. Press RECORD and wait for the
RECORD/PLAY indicator to light.
4. Speak clearly into the microphone
on the front of the console. After 15
seconds, recording ends and the
RECORD/PLAY indicator turns off.
5. Set Install/Run to Run. The console
plays back your message through
the earphone. To hear the message
again, set Install/Run to Install, then
back to Run.
TESTING THE DIALER
After you have stored the phone num-
bers and recorded your message, follow
these steps to test the dialer.
1. Set Install/Run to Install, then back
to Run. The console plays your
recorded message.
2. After the RECORD/PLAY indicator
turns off, call everyone whose
phone number you have stored to
let them know you are going to test
the dialer. Tell them to listen to the
message and hang up without
pressing a number button on their
phone, so the system will call the
next number.
3. Press EMERGENCY CALL on the call
pendant. The console sounds its
alarm and begins dialing the stored
phone numbers.
Note: To stop the test before it is
done, press STOP on the call pen-
dant.
4. Check with everyone the system is
supposed to call to make sure that
they received the call and heard
your message.
Test your system periodically to ensure
the siren sounds and the correct phone
numbers are dialed.

USING THE SYSTEM
You can leave your call pendant in an
easily accessible location or attach a
cord or chain to the pendant and wear it
around your neck. You can also buy ad-
ditional pendants to leave in several lo-
cations.
We recommend you test the pendant’s
battery at least once a week (see “Test-
ing and Replacing the Call Pendant’s
Battery” on Page 9).
To have the alarm sound and summon
help, press EMERGENCY CALL on your
call pendant.
When someone answers the call, the
console plays your message. If that per-
son presses any number on their touch-
tone phone, the alarm stops so they can
monitor the room where the console is
located. After 75 seconds, the console
disconnects the call and resumes the
alarm, but does not dial another number.
Note: The console does not respond to
the pendant while the monitor is active.
If no one answers within about 48 sec-
onds, or answers but does not press a
number, the console dials the next num-
ber. If the console receives no answer
within 4 minutes, the alarm stops and
the console stops dialing.
Note: If the dialer reaches an answering
machine, it plays its message as if
someone picked up the phone. Howev-
er, since the answering machine cannot
respond, and since the answering ma-
chine’s beep will not turn on the con-
sole’s monitor, the dialer will continue
calling until you press STOP on the call
pendant or 4 minutes have elapsed.
If the system does not seem to work
properly, see “Troubleshooting” on
Page 15.
To stop the alarm and dialer, press
STOP on the call pendant.
USING THE PANIC ALARM
The panic alarm lets you sound the con-
sole’s alarm without the console dialing
out. This lets you get immediate help
from someone nearby without calling
outside your home.
To activate the panic alarm, press STOP
and EMERGENCY CALL on the call pen-
dant at the same time.
The console sounds a two-tone alarm
for 4 minutes. Or you can stop the alarm
by pressing STOP on the call pendant.

EXPANDING YOUR SYSTEM
This section offers some suggestions for
expanding your personal security sys-
tem and describes some of the accesso-
ries you can use with your Emergency
Phone Dialer. Visit your local Ra-
dioShack store for details.
HOW PLUG 'N POWER
WORKS
Plug ’n Power controllers, such as your
Emergency Phone Dialer’s console,
send signals through your household
wiring. Plug ’n Power modules (sold
separately) receive the controller’s sig-
nals and turn the connected devices on
or off.
Two types of codes (house codes and
unit codes) allow you to control groups
of modules or individual modules within
your home. Set the Emergency Phone
Dialer’s console and the modules you
want it to control to the same house and
unit codes. There are 16 house codes to
choose from (Athrough P), and 16 unit
codes (1through 16).
For more information about how house
and unit codes work, read the instruc-
tions supplied with the individual mod-
ules.
Note: Intercom systems that send voice
signals over existing electrical wiring
might interfere with the ability to control
modules from your console when the in-
tercom is in use. Intercom systems with
separate wiring will not cause this prob-
lem.
ADDING CALL PENDANTS
You can purchase additional call pen-
dants for added security or for other
family members. You must initialize
each pendant before it will work with
your system (see “Initializing the Call
Pendant” on Page 8).
ADDING LAMP MODULES
Lamp modules (Cat. No. 61-2682) let
you control lamps through your Emer-
gency Phone Dialer’s console. If you ac-
tivate the console’s alarm, the lamps
controlled by these modules flash on
and off for about 4 minutes or until you
press STOP on the call pendant.
You can also control lamp modules us-
ing an optional remote control.
Note: If you add a lamp module to the
system but do not add a remote control,
you must reset the module to turn off the
lamp if the console’s alarm has been
tripped. Simply unplug the module and
plug it in again.
49-2559.fm Page 13 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 3:29 PM

14
ADDING WALL SWITCH
MODULES
Wall switch modules (Cat. No. 61-2683)
let you use your Emergency Phone Dial-
er to control lights connected to wall
switches. If you activate the console’s
alarm, the lights controlled by these
modules flash on and off for about 4
minutes or until you press STOP on the
call pendant.
Wall switch modules have a push button
so you can turn them on or off manually,
or you can control them using an option-
al remote control.
ADDING A REMOTE
CONTROL
You can use a handheld remote control
(RSU 10508042) to control up to 16
modules that you set to different unit
codes. You can even dim and brighten
lights connected to lamp and wall switch
modules.
POWERHORN REMOTE
SIREN
The Powerhorn Remote Siren®(RSU
10037638) sounds a loud (110 decibel)
siren and flashes its lights when you ac-
tivate the console’s alarm.
Set the house and unit code dials on the
remote siren to the same letter and
number as the console.
Warning: The Powerhorn Remote Siren
is extremely loud. Do not stand near it
when you activate the console’s alarm.
Prolonged exposure to its 110-decibel
output could cause permanent hearing
damage.

TROUBLESHOOTING
We do not expect you to have any problems with your Emergency Phone Dialer, but
if you do, the following suggestions might help.
Problem Suggestion
The console’s alarm does not
turn on when you press EMER-
GENCY CALL on the pendant.
Be sure the console is plugged in (the AC
Power indicator is on).
Check that Install/Run is set to Run.
Test the call pendant’s battery and replace it
if necessary (see “Testing and Replacing the
Call Pendant’s Battery” on Page 9).
The console does not dial out
when you press EMERGENCY
CALL on the call pendant.
Be sure that you have stored phone numbers
(see “Storing Phone Numbers” on Page 9).
Make sure the console is connected to the
phone line.
Test the call pendant’s battery and replace it
if necessary (see “Testing and Replacing the
Call Pendant’s Battery” on Page 9).
The call pendant’s battery indi-
cator stays on when you initialize
the pendant.
Remove the call pendant’s battery, wait a
few seconds, then replace the battery. Initial-
ize the pendant (see “Initializing the Call
Pendant” on Page 8).
The console’s BATTERY LOW
indicator is on. Replace the backup battery (see “Installing a Backup Battery in the Console” on Page 6).
You lose your call pendant. Purchase another call pendant and re-install
your system. This prevents anyone from
using the lost pendant to activate your sys-
tem.
The console dials or its alarm
goes off by itself. Re-install the system.
The console does not play back
a message when someone
answers its call.
Check your recorded message and record a
new one if necessary (see “Recording Your
Message” on Page 10).
49-2559.fm Page 15 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 3:29 PM

16
If you cannot find the problem, take your Emergency Phone Dialer to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
A Plug ’n Power module does
not work correctly with your sys-
tem.
Be sure you set the house and unit codes on
the module to the same letter and number as
the console.
Check that the module is on the same electri-
cal circuit as the console.
Refer to the owner’s manual that came with
the module.
Lights turn off when you activate
the alarm. The system flashes lights by alternately transmitting the All Lights On and All Units
Off signals, so appliances that were on when
the console activated turn off from the All
Units Off code, and stay off. To avoid this,
set the light modules to a different house
code than you set on the console.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack Emergency Phone Dialer is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your system so you
can enjoy it for years.
Keep the system dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the system only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-
age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the system away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.
Handle the system gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit
boards and cases and can cause the system to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your system’s electronic
parts.
Wipe the system with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to
clean the system.
Modifying or tampering with the Emergency Phone Dialer’s internal components can
cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty. If your system is not performing
as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is af-
fecting the telephone lines, the phone company can ask you to disconnect your Emer-
gency Phone Dialer until you have resolved the problem.
49-2559.fm Page 17 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 3:29 PM

18
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your dialer
causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can temporarily discon-
tinue your service. If this happens, the
phone company attempts to notify you in
advance. If advance notice is not practi-
cal, 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, equipment, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect the
operation of the dialer. The telephone
company notifies you of these changes
in advance, so you can take the neces-
sary steps to prevent interruption of your
telephone service.
LIGHTNING
Your dialer has built-in protection cir-
cuits to reduce the risk of damage from
surges in telephone line and power line
current. These protection circuits meet
or exceed the FCC requirements. How-
ever, lightning striking the telephone or
power lines can damage your dialer.
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-
ertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your dialer during
storms to reduce the possibility of dam-
age.

ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THE WRITTEN LIMITED WARRANTIES
CONTAINED HEREIN. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, RadioShack SHALL HAVE NO LIABIL-
ITY OR RESPONSIBILITY TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY WITH RE-
SPECT TO ANY LIABILITY, LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY USE
OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS WAR-
RANTY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM INCONVE-
NIENCE, LOSS OF TIME, DATA, PROPERTY, REVENUE, OR PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF RadioShack HAS BEEN AD-
VISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Some states do not allow the limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion of in-
cidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
In the event of a product defect during the warranty period, take the product and the RadioShack
sales receipt as proof of purchase date to any RadioShack store. RadioShack will, at its option, un-
less otherwise provided by law: (a) correct the defect by product repair without charge for parts and
labor; (b) replace the product with one of the same or similar design; or (c) refund the purchase
price. All replaced parts and products, and products on which a refund is made, become the prop-
erty of RadioShack. New or reconditioned parts and products may be used in the performance of
warranty service. Repaired or replaced parts and products are warranted for the remainder of the
original warranty period. You will be charged for repair or replacement of the product made after the
expiration of the warranty period.
This warranty does not cover: (a) damage or failure caused by or attributable to acts of God, abuse,
accident, misuse, improper or abnormal usage, failure to follow instructions, improper installation or
maintenance, alteration, lightning or other incidence of excess voltage or current; (b) any repairs
other than those provided by a RadioShack Authorized Service Facility; (c) consumables such as
fuses or batteries; (d) cosmetic damage; (e) transportation, shipping or insurance costs; or (f) costs
of product removal, installation, set-up service adjustment or reinstallation.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state.
