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.

SURGE PROECTION
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.

9. Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bathtub,
wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool.
10. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The
product may fall, causing serious damage to the product.
11. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are
provided for ventilation. To protect it from overheating, these
openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should
never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-
in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.
12. This product should be operated only from the type of power source

power supply to your home, consult your local power company.
4
13. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this
product where the cord will be stepped on.
14. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in
a risk of fire or electric shock.
15. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots
as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the product.
16. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product.
Take it to a qualified service technician when service or repair work
is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 2.4
GHz 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 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

Recharging the Battery Pack
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work and

loses its ability to fully recharge.
• The handset loses its security access-

completely discharged. While holding
PAGE, place the handset on the base to
recharge the battery pack and change
the code.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset and
base 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

replace it with a new 3.6-volt, 600 mAh
battery pack with a connector that fits
the socket in the battery compartment.
You can order a replacement battery
