INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing RadioShack Handsfree Phone.
It combines the clarity of 900 MHz communication with
portability and convenience. The cordless handset 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.

INSTALLATION
You can place the phone on a desk or table. 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

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.

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.
!
CAUTION
!
You must use a Class 2
power source that
supplies 9V DC and
delivers at least 210 mA.
Its center tip must be set to positive
and its plug must fit the phone's
DC
IN 9V
jack. The supplied adapter
meets these specifications. Using an
adapter that does not meet these
specifications could damage the
phone or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter
to the phone before you connect it to
AC power. When you finish,
disconnect the adapter from AC
power before you disconnect it from
the phone.
