INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 2.4 GHz Cordless
Telephone. Your phone uses the 2.4 GHz band for less
interference and greater range than many other cordless
telephones. Its headset jack lets you connect an optional
headset for hands-free convenience.
!
INSTALLATION
You can place the phone 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 base’s location affects the handset’s range. If you have
a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides
the best performance.
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 online
at RadioShack.com), 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
and the
requirements adapted by the ACTA. The telephone cord
and modular plug provided is Part 68 compliant for
connecting to the telephone company network.
Ô
To mount the phone directly on a wall, you need two screws
(not supplied) with heads that fit into the keyhole slots on
the back of the base. Drill two holes 3
15
/
16
inches (100 mm)
apart. Then thread a screw into each hole, letting the heads
extend about
1
/
8
inch (3 mm) from the wall.

IMPORTANT
!
•
Cordless phones such as this
one require AC power to
operate. When the power is off,
you cannot make or receive
calls using your phone. To be
safe, you should also have a
phone that does not need AC
power to operate (not a cord-
less phone), so you can still
make and receive calls if there
is an AC power failure.
•
When AC power is lost, the
phone loses the security
access-protection code con-
nection between the base and
the handset. When power is
restored, put the handset on
the base briefly to restore this
connection so you can use the
handset.
•
Your phone operates on
standard radio frequencies as
allocated by the FCC. It is
possible for other radio units
operating nearby on similar
frequencies to unintentionally
intercept your conversation or
cause interference. This
possible lack of privacy can
occur with any cordless phone.
Ô
NOTE
Ô
•
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.
•
The USOC number of the jack
to be installed is RJ11C (or
RJ11W for a wall plate jack).
