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:  
READ THIS BEFORE  
INSTALLATION  
We have designed your telephone to  
conform to federal regulations, and you  
can connect it to most telephone lines.  
However, each telephone (and each de-  
vice, such as an answering machine)  
that you connect to the telephone line  
draws power from the telephone line.  
We refer to this power draw as the de-  
vice’s ringer equivalence number, or  
REN. The REN is on the bottom of your  
telephone.  
• 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 RadioShack store if  
the problem still exists.  
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 (or  
three in rural areas), your telephones  
might not ring. If ringer operation is im-  
paired, remove a device from the line.  
You must use shielded interface cables  
with this equipment.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS  
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of  
FCC Rules. You must, upon request,  
provide the FCC registration number  
and the REN to your telephone compa-  
ny. Both numbers are on the bottom of  
your telephone.  
When using your telephone equipment,  
basic safety precautions should always  
be followed to reduce the risk of fire,  
electric shock and injury to persons, in-

do any of the following:

sages, but Line 2 has one, the tele-  
phone answers after five rings when you

Page 15), the phone answers after three  
rings if you have new messages (ones  
you have not listened to). If there are no

ˆ Troubleshooting  
We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you do, the follow-  
ing suggestions might help.  
Problem  
Suggestion  
The phone does not work or  
works poorly.  
• Be sure the base’s phone line cord and AC adapter are  
correctly and securely connected.  
• Be sure the handset’s battery pack is charged.  
• Return the handset to the base for a few seconds to reset  
the security-access protection code.  
The handset stops working  
or works poorly during a  
call.  
• Move the handset closer to the base.  
• Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical position.  
• Be sure the handset’s battery pack is charged.  
Low volume or unusual  
sounds.  
• Someone has picked up another phone on the same line.  
Hang up the other phone.  
Severe noise interference.  
• Keep the handset and base away from computers, remote  
control toys, wireless microphones, alarm systems, inter-  
coms, room monitors, fluorescent lights, and electrical  
appliances.  
• Move to another location or turn off the source of interfer-  
ence.  
CH  
• Press  
to change the channel.  
• Hang up and redial the number.  
The phone cannot be oper-  
ated at a useful distance  
from the base because the  
signal becomes weak or  
noisy (handset’s range has  
decreased).  
• Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical position.  
• Be sure neither antenna is touching a metal surface.  
• Recharge the battery pack.  
The handset battery pack  
does not charge.  
• Check the charging contacts on the handset and base. If  
they are dirty, clean them with a pencil eraser.  
• Be sure the handset is properly seated on the base.  
• Replace the battery pack (see “Replacing the Battery  
Pack” on Page 30).

• Microprocessor failure. Disconnect the AC adapter, wait 15  
seconds, then plug in the adapter again.  
If the base loses power while the handset is off of it, the security access-protection  
code might change. Restore power to the base, then place the handset back on the  
base and leave it there for a few seconds.  
If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line  
work properly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the prob-  
lem, take your phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.  
ˆ Care  
To enjoy your RadioShack 2-Line 900 MHz Cordless Answering System for a long  
time:  
• Keep the telephone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  
• Use and store the telephone only in normal temperature environments.  
• Handle the telephone gently and carefully. Do not drop it.  
• Keep the telephone away from dust and dirt.  
• Wipe the telephone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.  
Care

Modifying or tampering with the tele-  
phone’s internal components can cause  
a malfunction and might invalidate its  
warranty and void your FCC authoriza-  
tion to operate it. If your telephone is not  
performing as it should, take it to your lo-  
cal RadioShack store for assistance. If  
the trouble is affecting the telephone  
lines, the phone company can ask you  
to disconnect your telephone until you  
have resolved the problem.  
3. Insert the new battery pack’s con-  
nector into the socket in the com-  
partment, place the battery pack into  
the compartment.  
4. Replace the cover.  
If you have trouble replacing the battery  
pack, take the phone to your local Ra-  
dioShack store for assistance.  
Cautions:  
REPLACING THE  
BATTERY PACK  
• You must use a replacement battery  
of the same size and type.  
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-  
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on  
Page 13, the battery pack should last  
about one year. If the battery pack does  
not hold a charge for more than 2 hours  
after an overnight charge, replace it with  
a 600 mAh battery pack with a connec-  
tor that fits the socket in the battery com-  
partment. You can order a replacement  
battery pack through your local Ra-  
dioShack store.  
• Do not dispose of the battery in a  
fire because it might explode.  
• Do not open or mutilate the battery.  
• Be careful not to short the battery by  
touching the connector’s pins with  
conducting materials, such as rings,  
bracelets, and keys. The battery  
pack or conductor might overheat  
and burn.

Care  
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO  
KNOW  
In the unlikely event that your phone  
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 this telephone. The tele-  
phone company notifies you of these  
changes in advance, so you can take  
the necessary steps to prevent interrup-  
tion of your telephone service.  
LIGHTNING  
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 tele-  
phone or power lines can damage your  
telephone.  
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-  
ertheless, if you live in an area that has  
severe electrical storms, we suggest  
that you unplug your phone when  
storms approach to reduce the possibili-  
ty of damage.
