ˆ Introduction  
Your RadioShack Hands-free Phone combines the clarity of  
900 MHz communication with portability and convenience. The  
phone’s cordless keypad clips to your belt or clothing so you  
can make and answer calls away from the base. The headset  
allows you to use your hands while you talk.  
The phone displays a caller’s phone number, name (if avail-  
able), and the date and time the call was received. It can store  
up to 40 records as provided by your local phone company to  
Caller ID service subscribers.  
If you have Call Waiting with Caller ID, the phone displays in-  
coming caller information for a new call when you are already  
on the phone.  
Your phone’s other features include:  
10-Memory Speed Dial  
— stores up to 10 frequently called  
phone numbers for easy dialing.  
Receiver Volume Control  
— lets you adjust the volume you  
hear during a call.  
Ringer Volume Control  
— lets you choose high or low volume  
on the keypad’s ringer.  
Ample Talk and Standby Time  
— when fully charged (about  
12 hours), the supplied battery provides about 7 hours of talk  
time or 7 days of standby time.

43-2101.fm Page 6 Wednesday, February 23, 2000 9:12 AM  
Dual Charging Slots  
— lets you charge a spare battery pack  
(not supplied), so the phone is always ready to go.  
40-Channel Auto Scan  
— automatically selects a clear chan-  
nel when you make or answer a call.  
Advanced Super CCT Circuitry  
— provides sound clarity  
comparable to that of a corded phone.  
Security Access-Protection Code  
— prevents other cordless  
phone users from using your phone line.  
Redial  
— lets you redial the last number dialed with the touch of  
a button.  
Mute  
— prevents the person on the other end of the phone line  
from hearing you converse with someone else in the room.  
Flash  
— sends an electronic switchhook signal for use with  
special phone services such as Call Waiting.  
Tone or Pulse (Rotary) Dialing  
— lets you use your phone  
with tone or pulse dialing and lets you easily switch from pulse  
to tone dialing for bank-by-phone or other special services.  
Hearing-Aid Compatibility  
— lets you use your phone with  
hearing aids that have a T (telephone) switch.  
Your phone is ETL listed to UL standards and meets all applica-  
ble FCC standards.

Introduction  
 
43-2101.fm Page 7 Wednesday, February 23, 2000 9:12 AM  
IMPORTANT CALLER ID INFORMATION  
To use the phone’s Caller ID and Call Waiting features, you  
must be in an area where Caller ID and Call Waiting services  
are available and you must subscribe to the services.  
Where Caller ID is offered, one or more of the following options  
are generally available:  
• caller’s number only  
• caller’s name only  
• caller’s name and number  
For the phone’s Caller ID memory dial feature to operate, you  
must receive the caller’s number.  
Important:  
Cordless phones generally require AC power to op-  
erate. You should also have a corded phone that does not re-  
quire AC power to operate so you can still make and receive  
calls if there is an AC power failure.  
Your telephone operates on standard radio frequencies as allo-  
cated by the FCC. Even though the access protection code pre-  
vents unauthorized use of your phone line, it is possible for  
other radio units operating on similar frequencies within a cer-  
tain area to unintentionally intercept your conversations and/or  
cause interference. This lack of privacy can occur with any  
cordless phone.

Introduction  
 
43-2101.fm Page 8 Wednesday, February 23, 2000 9:12 AM  
READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION  
Each device that you connect to the phone line draws power  
from the phone line. We refer to this power draw as the device’s  
ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom  
of the base.  
If you are using more than one phone or other device on the  
line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than five (three in  
rural areas), your phone might not ring. If ringer operation is im-  
paired, remove a device from the line.  
FCC STATEMENT  
This telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must,  
upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the  
REN to your phone company. These numbers are on the bot-  
tom of the base.  
Note:  
You must not connect your phone to any of the following:  
• coin-operated systems  
• party-line systems  
• most electronic key phone systems

ˆ Preparation  
SELECTING A LOCATION  
You can place the phone’s base on a flat surface such as a  
desk, shelf, or table. Select a location that is:  
• near an easily accessible AC outlet  
• near a telephone line jack  
• out of the way of normal activities  
• away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal  
walls, filing cabinets, wireless intercoms, security alarms,  
and room monitors  
The base’s location affects the phone’s range. If you have a  
choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the  
best performance.  
Notes:  
Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone  
line jack. If your phone line jack is not a modular jack, you  
can update the wiring yourself, using jacks and adapters  
available at your local RadioShack store. Or, you can let  
the phone company update the wiring for you.  
• The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C.

Preparation  
 
43-2101.fm Page 10 Wednesday, February 23, 2000 9:12 AM  
CONNECTING THE BASE  
You can power the base using the supplied 12V, 300-mA AC  
adapter.  
Cautions:  
You must use a Class 2 power source that sup-  
plies 12V DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its  
center tip must be set to positive and its plug  
!
DC12V 300mA  
must fit the phone's  
jack. Using an adapter  
that does not meet these specifications could damage the  
phone or the adapter.  
• Always connect the AC adapter to the base before you  
connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the  
adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the  
base.  
Follow these steps to connect the base to a phone line and AC  
power.  
1. Plug one end of the supplied  
TEL LINE  
modular cord into the  
jack.  
2. Plug the modular cord’s other  
end into a modular phone line  
jack.  
3. Plug the supplied AC adapter’s  
DC 12V 300mA  
TEL LINE  
DC 12V  
barrel plug into the  
300mA  
.

4. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.  
5. Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical position.  
CONNECTING AND CHARGING THE  
BATTERY PACK  
The phone comes with a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery  
pack. You must connect the battery pack and charge it for at  
least 12 hours for the first time before you use the phone.  
To connect the battery pack, line up  
the slots on the battery pack with the  
posts on the back of the keypad.  
Press down and slide the battery pack  
forward until the latch clicks.  
To charge the battery pack, place the keypad in the base’s front  
charging slot. The STATUS/MESSAGE indicator lights.  
To charge a spare battery pack,

place it in the rear charging slot  
with its latch end facing down  
and its contacts toward the rear  
of the base. The CHARGE indi-

43-2101.fm Page 12 Wednesday, February 23, 2000 9:12 AM  
Notes:  
• Recharge the battery pack anytime LOW BATTERY  
appears, or if the keypad beeps while you are on the  
phone.  
• When you first use the phone after charging or recharging  
the battery pack, the phone might not work. Return the key-  
pad to the base for about 5 seconds to reset the security  
access-protection code. The keypad blinks once.  
• About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by  
keeping the phone off the base until LOW BATTERY  
appears, or if the keypad beeps while you are on the  
phone. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully  
recharge.  
• If the STATUS/MESSAGE indicator does not light when  
you place the keypad on the base, be sure the battery pack  
and AC adapter are correctly and securely connected.  
Also, check the charging contacts on the keypad and base.  
If the contacts are dirty or tarnished, clean them with a pen-  
cil eraser.  
• If the battery pack becomes completely discharged or the  
base loses power while the keypad is away from it, place  
the keypad on the base for about 5 seconds to reset the  
security access protection code. The keypad blinks once. If  
the keypad loses power, leave it on the base to charge the  
battery pack.  
• If you are not going to use your phone for an extended  
period of time, disconnect its battery pack. This helps  
increase the battery pack’s usable life.

ˆ Troubleshooting  
We do not expect you have any problem with your telephone,  
but if you do, the following suggestions might help. If you still  
have problems, check the other phones on the same line to see  
if they work properly. If they do and the problem does not  
seems to be with your phone service, take the phone to your lo-  
cal RadioShack store for assistance.

Troubleshooting  
 
43-2101.fm Page 33 Wednesday, February 23, 2000 9:12 AM  
ˆ Care  
To enjoy your phone for a long time:  
• Keep the phone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  
• Use and store the phone only in normal temperature envi-  
ronments.  
• Handle the phone gently and carefully. Don’t drop it.  
• Keep the phone away from dust and dirt.  
• Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it  
looking new.  
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal components  
can cause a malfunction and invalidate its warranty. If your  
phone is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra-  
dioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the tele-  
phone lines, the phone company can ask you to disconnect  
your phone until you have resolved the problem.  
REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK  
If you follow the instructions in “Connecting and Charging the  
Battery Pack” on Page 11, the battery pack should last about a  
year. If the battery pack does not hold a charge for more than 2  
hours after an overnight charge, replace it. You can order a re-  
placement battery pack through your local RadioShack store.  
33  
Care  
 
43-2101.fm Page 34 Wednesday, February 23, 2000 9:12 AM  
Note:  
To avoid losing numbers stored in memory, you must in-  
stall and begin charging the new battery pack within 2 minutes  
of removing the old one.  
1. To remove the old battery pack, press the latch release,  
then slide the battery pack off the keypad.  
2. To connect the new battery pack, line up the slots on the  
battery pack with the posts on the keypad, then press down  
and slide it forward until the latch clicks.  
3. Charge the battery pack for 12 hours before using it.  
Cautions:  
• Be careful not to short the battery pack by touching it with  
conducting materials, such as rings, bracelets, and keys.  
The battery pack or conductor might overheat and burn.  
• Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire because it might  
explode.  
• Do not open or mutilate the battery pack.  
Note:  
If you have trouble replacing the battery pack, take the  
phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.  
Important:  
This phone can use nickel-  
cadmium rechargeable batteries. At the end of  
a nickel-cadmium battery's useful life, it must  
be recycled or disposed of properly. Contact  
your local, county, or state hazardous waste  
management authorities for information on re-  
cycling or disposal programs in your area or

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW  
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, equip-  
ment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation  
of this telephone. The telephone company notifies you of these  
changes in advances, so you can take the necessary steps to  
prevent interruption of your telephone service.  
This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital de-  
vice 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 cor-  
rective measures:  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
• Increase the distance between the equipment and the radio  
or TV.  
35  
Care  
 
43-2101.fm Page 36 Wednesday, February 23, 2000 9:12 AM  
• Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the equipment  
and the radio or TV.  
Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem still exists.  
LIGHTNING  
Your telephone has built-in lightning protection to reduce the  
risk of damage from surges in telephone line and power line  
current. This lightning protection meets or exceeds FCC re-  
quirements. 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 un-  
plug your phone before storms to reduce the possibility of dam-  
age.
