INTRODUCTION  
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 900  
MHz Cordless Telephone. Your phone uses  
advanced technology to give you superior audio  
quality and extended range. 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  
information, even when you are already talking  
on the phone.  
Cordless phones require AC power to operate.  
When the power is off, you cannot make or  
receive calls by using your phone. 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  
IMPORTANT  
!
!
• When AC power is lost,  
the phone loses the digital  
security code connection  
between the base and the  
handset. When power is  
restored, put the handset  
on the base briefly to  
failure.  
!
restore this connection so  
you can use the handset.  
• Your phone operates on  
standard radio  
frequencies as allocated  
by the FCC.  
• It is possible for other  
radio units operating  
nearby on similar  
frequencies to  
unintentionally intercept  
your conversation or  
cause interference. This  
possible lack of privacy  
can occur with any  
cordless phone.

As an ENERGYSTAR Partner,  
RadioShack Corporation has  
determined that this product  
meets the ENERGYSTAR  
guidelines for energy  
efficiency.  
IMPORTANT  
INFORMATION  
This telephone has been tested and found to  
comply with all applicable UL and FCC standards.  
FCC STATEMENT  
Your telephone compiles with Part 68 of the FCC  
Rules. Upon request, you must provide the phone’s  
FCC registration number and REN to your phone  
company. These numbers are on the base unit.  
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. Ô  
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.  
Ô NOTE Ô  
You must not connect your  
phone to:  
• coin-operated systems  
• most electronic key  
telephone systems

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 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, 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.  
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC  
rules. Operation is subject to the following two  
conditions: (1) This device may not cause  
harmful interference, and (2) This device must  
accept any interference received, including  
interference that may cause undesired operation.  
Privacy of communications, may not be ensured  
when using this phone.  
SURGE PROTECTION  
Your telephone 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  
telephone or power lines can damage your  
telephone.  
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.

IMPORTANT CALLER ID  
INFORMATION  
To use Caller ID and Call Waiting, you must be in  
an area where those services are available and  
you must subscribe to those services through  
your local phone company. Where Caller ID is  
offered, one or more options are generally  
available:  
• caller’s number only  
• caller’s name only  
• caller’s name and number  
If you subscribe to Call Waiting ID and Caller ID,  
the system can show you the incoming caller  
information, even when you are already talking  
on the phone.  
INSTALLATION  
Before using your phone, carefully peel the  
protective film off the display. The film protects  
the handset window during shipment and is not  
necessary for use.  
SELECTING A LOCATION  
You can place the phone’s base on a desk or  
table, or mount it on a standard wall plate or  
directly on a wall. Select a location that is:  
• near an accessible AC outlet  
• near a telephone line jack  
• out of the way of normal activities  
• away from electrical machinery, electrical  
appliances, metal walls or filing cabinets,  
wireless intercoms, alarms, and room  
monitors  
• away from other cordless phones

The base’s location affects the handset’s range.  
If you have a choice of several locations, try each  
to see which provides the best performance.  
Ô NOTES Ô  
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 compatible modular jacks  
that are compliant with Part 68 of FCC Rules. Ô  
• If your home has  
specially wired alarm  
equipment connected to  
the telephone line, be  
sure that installing the  
system does not disable  
your alarm equipment.  
If you have questions  
about what will disable  
alarm equipment,  
contact your telephone  
company or a qualified  
installer.

CHOOSING THE DIALING MODE  
Most phone systems use tone dialing which  
sends DTMF tones through the phone lines.  
However, some phone systems (such as those in  
rural areas) still use pulse dialing. The default  
setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing  
system, set the mode as follows: Ô

the DTMF tones for  
certain situations during  
a call, you may switch  
over to tone dialing.  
(Refer to “Tone Dialing  
Switch-over” on  
Dialing mode switch is next to the DC IN 9V jack  
at the top of the base. Place the switch in the  
TONE position for tone dialing, or the PULSE
