Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this RadioShack 5.8 GHz
Accessory handset. Your handset is designed for use with
a RadioShack 5.8 GHz Expandable Cordless Telephone.
You can use this handset in any room in your home or
office that has an AC outlet. You can also transfer an
outside call to another handset.
This handset is designed to work only with a RadioShack
5.8 GHz Expandable Cordless Telephone (Cat. No.
43-141, 43-142 and 43-143). Do not try to use it with other
cordless telephones.
Selecting a Location
Select a location for the base that is near an accessible AC
standard wall outlet and away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, metal walls, filing cabinets, wireless
intercoms, alarms, room monitors, and other cordless
phones.
ꢂ
Installing the Charger
You can power the charger
using the supplied 9V,
210 mA AC adapter.
Insert the supplied AC
adapter’s barrel plug into
the DC IN 9V jack on the
bottom of the charger. Route
the cord through the strain relief slot and plug the adapter
into a standard AC outlet.
Caution: You must use a Class 2 power source that
supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 210 mA. Its
center tip must be set to positive and its plug must
fit the charger’s DC IN 9V jack. The supplied adapter
meets these specifications. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications could damage the
handset or the adapter.
Connecting/Charging the Battery
The phone comes with a rechargeable nickel metal
hydride (Ni-MH) battery pack. The supplied battery pack
should last for about a year. If the battery pack does not
hold a charge for more than 2 hours after an overnight
charge, replace it with a new 3.6 volt, 750 mAh battery
pack with a connector that fits the socket in the battery
compartment. You can order a replacement battery pack
through your local RadioShack store or online at
ꢃ
Before using your phone, you must install the battery
pack, and then charge it for about 15-20 hours.
1. Press down and slide the
battery compartment cover off.
2. Plug the battery pack’s
connector into the socket
in the compartment (the
connector fits only one way),
then place the battery pack in
the compartment. MODELS VARY! PLACE HANDSET
ON THE BASE FOR REGISTRATION OR REFER TO
OWNER’S MANUAL appears.
3. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, place the handset on the
charger. The CHARGE indicator on the charging cradle
lights. Proceed to “Registering the Handset” on page 9.
Important: Be sure the battery pack is properly
connected before you try to charge it. The CHARGE
indicator lights when the handset is on the charger.
Recharge the battery pack when LOW BATTERY appears.
• About once a month, use a damp cloth to clean the
charging contacts on the handset.
• If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, the
handset beeps and LOW BATTERY appears. When
this happens, you cannot make a call until you
recharge the battery pack.
• If the display is blank and the phone does not work,
recharge the battery pack. (The battery power
might be too low to light the display.)
ꢄ
About once a month, fully discharge the battery by
keeping the handset off the base or charger until LOW
BATTERY stays lit. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its
ability to fully recharge.
If you are not going to use your phone for an extended
period, disconnect the battery pack. This increases the
battery pack’s usable life.
If you have trouble installing the battery pack, take the
handset to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
Warning:
• Dispose of old battery packs promptly and properly.
Do not burn or bury them.
• There is a risk of explosion if batteries are replaced
by the wrong type.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions.
ꢅ
Installing a Belt Clip
To attach the belt clip, insert the belt
clip into the holes on each side of the
cordless handset. Press down until it
clicks.
To remove the belt clip, pull either side
of the belt clip to release the tabs from
the holes.
Using an Optional Headset
You can make or answer calls handsfree using an optional
headset that has a 3/32-inch (2.5-mm) plug. Your local
RadioShack store has a variety of headsets available.
1. To connect the headset, gently flip
open the rubber headset jack cover
on the side of the cordless handset.
Then insert the headset’s plug into
the jack.
2. Use
or
on the handset to
adjust the headset’s volume.
3. With a headset connected, you can make or answer
calls as usual using the keys on the handset.
4. When you finish using the headset, disconnect it from the
handset and close the rubber cover to protect the jack.
ꢆ
• Always place the handset properly on the charger
whenever you are recharging the handset.
• You can use a handset holder (available from your
local RadioShack store) to hang the handset on
your belt for added convenience.
