ˆ Introduction
Thank you for purchasing our 900 MHz
Cordless Telephone. It provides excellent
clarity and range and integrates Caller ID,
Call Waiting ID, and a digital answering
system into one space-saving device. The
900 MHz band provides less interference,
clearer sound, and greater range than 46/49
MHz cordless telephones.
Where Caller ID is offered, one or more
options are generally available:
• caller’s number only
• caller’s name only
• caller’s name and number
If you subscribe to Call Waiting ID and Caller
ID, the system can show you the incoming
caller information, even when you are
already talking on the phone.
The digital answering system provides clear
reliable messaging with call screening, day/
time stamp, call counter, remote access and
instant skip or replay messaging.
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
The Caller ID records each caller’s name (if
available in your area), telephone number,
and the date and time of the call, as provided
by your local phone company to Caller ID
service subscribers.
We have designed your phone to conform to
federal regulations and you can connect it to
most phone lines. However, each device that
you connect to the telephone line draws
power from the line. We refer to this power
draw as the phone’s ringer equivalence
number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom
of your phone.
IMPORTANT
Cordless phones such as this one require
AC power to operate. When the AC power is
off, you cannot dial out or receive incoming
calls using your phone. To be safe, 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 calls if
there is an AC power failure.
If you use 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 phones might not ring. If ringer
operation is impaired, remove one of the
devices from the line.
When AC power is lost, the phone loses the
security access-protection code connection
between the base and the handset. When
power is restored, put the handset on the
base briefly to restore this connection.
The digital answering system stores up to 16
minutes of messages on a computer chip
and records each message’s day and time.
This gives you advanced capabilities over
tape-based answering machines:
IMPORTANT CALLER ID
INFORMATION
• You can delete individual messages and
save the rest.
To use Caller ID and Call Waiting, you must
be in an area where those services are
available and you must subscribe to those
services through your local phone company.
• There are no tapes to bother with and no
tape mechanisms to wear out.

the handset, but not connected. Before using
your phone, you must connect the battery
pack, then charge it for about 24 hours.

while the handset is away from it, place
the handset on the base to reset the
security access-protection code. If it was
the handset that lost power, recharge
the battery pack.
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Your phone comes set for tone dialing. If you
have pulse service, you need to change the
dialing mode. If you are not sure which type
of service you have, do this test.
The supplied 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 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 pack through your local RadioShack
store. Install the new battery pack and
charge it for about 24 hours.
TALK
Lift the handset, press

dial tone. Press any number other than 0 or,
if required, an outside line access code (9,

sends information about the call, as well as
the time and date, between the first and
second rings of every call you receive.
Note:
If the handset is faceup on the base, it

you can see if you have new records to
review.
Repeatedly press 9 to scroll through the
Caller ID records from the most recent to the
oldest, or 8 to scroll back through the
records. To scroll quickly through the
records, hold down 8 or 9.
The phone displays this information after the
second ring, and it stores up to 30 Caller ID
records for later review. It also shows if caller
information is unavailable or if the name and
number were blocked by the caller (see
“Caller ID Messages” on Page 16).
When you scroll past the last record, the total
