CAUTION:
When using telephone equipment, there are basic safety instructions that should
always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this product
and save them for future reference.
Congratulations on purchasing the RCA Cellular Phone Docking System. This system operates in
the 2.4 GHz frequency range, and is unique to conventional cordless telephones. When the base is
connected to electrical power and a telephone line, you can place a fully-featured cordless handset
anywhere electrical power is available.
Features:
• Cell Phone Docking—which features upgradable software, connection cables to support a variety
of cell phone models, cellular phone docking station charger and call timer
• 2.4 GHz digital spread spectrum technology
• Handset to Handset Intercom (with purchase of optional Model 23210A Handset with recharge cradle)
• 3-way Conference/Call Transfer
• Call Waiting and Caller ID Compatible
• VIP Melody (different ring tones available for cell and home calls)
• Up to 50 Name and Number Memory Dialing
• Room Monitor Between Handset and Handset (with purchase of optional Model 23210A Handset
with recharge cradle)
• Expandable up to 3 handsets (with purchase of optional Model 23210A Handset with recharge cradle)
This telephone has been designed to be simple to use, however, you can reach its full potential more
quickly by taking a few minutes to read this Instruction Book. This telephone is a multifunction product
for use with Call Waiting and Caller ID services available from your local telephone company.
Your Caller ID Call Waiting phone allows you to:
• View the name and telephone number of a caller (Call Waiting Caller ID) while you are on the phone.
• Identify callers before you answer the phone.
• View the time and date of each incoming call on the home line.
• Record up to 40 Caller ID messages sequentially.
• Know who called while you are on the other line or when you were away.
• Screen unwanted calls, eliminate harassment from annoying calls, or to get prepared before
answering a call.
IMPORTANT:
Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should have at least one
phone in your home that isn’t cordless, in case the power in your home goes out.
IMPORTANT:
In order to use all of the features of this telephone, you must subscribe to two
separate services available from your local telephone company: the standard Name/Number
Caller ID Service to know who is calling when the phone rings and Call Waiting Caller ID Service
to know who is calling while you are on the phone. Not all cell phones support the transfer of
this feature to the Cellular Phone Docking System.
