IMPO RTANT

•

Your phone operates on

standard radio

frequencies as allocated

by the FCC.

Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 5.8

GHz Multi-Handset Expandable Cordless

Telephone. Unlike other conventional

cordless telephones, your telephone

supports up to ten handsets on a single

telephone line. You can add a handset to

any room in your home or office that has an

AC outlet. No more running to the other end

of the house to answer the phone! You can

transfer outside calls to other handsets. 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.

ino

It is possible for other

radio units operating

nearby on similar

oudct

frequencies to

unintentionally intercept

your conversation or

cause interference. This

possible lack of privacy

can occur with any

cordless phone.

The digital answering system stores up to

12 minutes of messages on a computer chip

and records day and time information for

each message. This gives you advanced

capabilities over tape-based answering

machines:

• You can delete individual messages

and save the rest.

• There are no tapes to bother with

and no tape mechanisms to wear

out.

The remote operation feature lets you

operate your answering system from a

touch-tone phone (or from a rotary phone

with a pocket tone dialer).

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 failure.

INFO RMATIO N

This telephone has been tested and found

to comply with all applicable UL and FCC

standards.

As an ENERGYSTAR Partner,

RadioShack Corporation has

determined that this product

meets the ENERGYSTAR

guidelines for energy

efficiency.

FCC STATEMENT

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the

FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the

ACTA. On the base of this equipment is a label

that contains, among other information, a

product identifier in the format

US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number

must be provided to the telephone company.

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

The REN is used to determine the number of

devices that may be connected to a telephone

line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may

result in the devices not ringing in response to

an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the

sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To

be certain of the number of devices that may be

connected to a line, as determined by the total

RENs, contact the local telephone company.

For products approved after July 23, 2001, the

REN for this product is part of the product

identifier that has the format

ant

ion

US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented

by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g.,

03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the

REN is separately shown on the label.

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.

SURGE PRO TECTIO N

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.

IMPO RTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIO NS

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:

READ THIS BEFO RE

INSTALLATIO N

We have designed your phone to conform

to federal regulations when 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 phone.

INSTALLATIO N

Ô NO TE Ô

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.

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.

SELECTING A LO CATIO N

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:Ô

• 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 location of the base affects the

handset’s range. If you have a choice of

several locations, try each to see which

provides the best performance.

The handset antenna is located on the

back, above the ringer speaker. For

maximum communication range, do not

hold the handset in such a way as to cover

the antenna by your hand. Also, place the

handset in the upright position while not in

use so the antenna can pick up the signals

from the base.

When there is an obstacle such as a metal

or concrete wall between the handset and

the base, the operation might be affected.

Try to keep it free from obstructions.

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 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.)

• About once a month, fully discharge the

battery by keeping the handset off the

base until Low Bat t er y flashes on

the display. Otherwise, the battery pack

loses its ability to fully recharge.

• Using a damp cloth, clean the charging

contacts on the handset about once a

month.

• 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.

• 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, 800 mAh

battery pack with a connector that fits

the socket in the battery compartment.

You can order a replacement battery

available.

To connect the headset, gently flip open the

rubber headset jack cover on the side of the

handset. Then insert the headset’s plug into

the jack. Ô

Ô NO TES Ô

•

If you place the handset

on the base to recharge

it while the headset is

connected, be sure the

handset seats properly.

Connecting a headset disconnects the

handset’s earpiece and microphone.

VOL/RING/ or VOL/RING/ on the handset

also controls the headset’s volume.

You can use a handset

holder (available from

your local RadioShack

store) to hang the

handset on your belt for

greater convenience

when using a headset.

With a headset connected, you can make or

answer calls as usual using the keys on the

handset.

When you finish using the headset,

disconnect it from the handset and close the

rubber cover to protect the jack.

CARE

Keep the phone dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store

the phone only in “room” temperature environments. Handle the phone

carefully; do not drop it. Keep the phone away from dust and dirt, and

wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.

SERVICE AND REPAIR

If your phone is not performing as it should, take it to your local

RadioShack store for assistance. To locate your nearest RadioShack,

use the store locator feature on RadioShack’s website

(www.radioshack.com), or call 1-800-The Shack (843-7422) and follow

the menu options. Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal

components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty

and void your FCC authorization to operate it.

NO TE ABO UT HANDSET-BASE

REGISTRATIO N

When you register the handset with the base, unique data is written on

both the base and the handset. The handset registered to one base unit

cannot be used with another base unit unless the registration data is "de-

registered" with the original base unit. This means the handset must be

within the range of the original base unit to de-register. If for any reason

the original base unit is not within the range (or the registration data in

the original base unit is erased), "Out of Range" error takes place and

you cannot de-register the handset.

Should you encounter this trouble, follow these steps to individually de-

1. Remove the handset if it sits on the base.

2. On the handset, press and hold END and # at the same time until you

hear a beep.

3. Disconnect the AC adapter.

4. While holding FLASH/PAGE, connect the AC adapter. Keep pressing

FLASH/PAGE until the CHARGE LED starts to blink.

5. Place the handset on the base and wait until the CHARGE LED

stops flashing.

This erases all the handset registration data on the base, not limited to

the handset you placed at Step 5 above. You need to register other

handset(s) also if you have more than one. First de-register the handset

as in Step 1 and 2 above, and then place it on the base.

If you have trouble in de-registration, take your base and handset

(including extra handset(s) if you have) to your local RadioShack or call

1-800-The Shack (843-7422) for assistance.

rta

Also, when you request repair or service, please be sure to bring in the

entire system (including extra handset if used) so we can keep your

registration data intact.
