43-2101.fm Page 5 Wednesday, February 23, 2000 9:12 AM ˆ Introduction Your RadioShack Hands-free Phone combines the clarity of 900 MHz communication with portability and convenience. The phone’s cordless keypad 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. The phone displays a caller’s phone number, name (if available), and the date and time the call was received.
43-2101.fm Page 6 Wednesday, February 23, 2000 9:12 AM Dual Charging Slots — lets you charge a spare battery pack (not supplied), so the phone is always ready to go. 40-Channel Auto Scan — automatically selects a clear channel when you make or answer a call. Advanced Super CCT Circuitry — provides sound clarity comparable to that of a corded phone. Security Access-Protection Code — prevents other cordless phone users from using your phone line.
43-2101.fm Page 7 Wednesday, February 23, 2000 9:12 AM IMPORTANT CALLER ID INFORMATION To use the phone’s Caller ID and Call Waiting features, you must be in an area where Caller ID and Call Waiting services are available and you must subscribe to the services.
43-2101.fm Page 8 Wednesday, February 23, 2000 9:12 AM READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION Each device that you connect to the phone line draws power from the phone line. We refer to this power draw as the device’s ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of the base. If you are using 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 phone might not ring.
43-2101.fm Page 9 Wednesday, February 23, 2000 9:12 AM ˆ Preparation SELECTING A LOCATION You can place the phone’s base on a flat surface such as a desk, shelf, or table. Select a location that is: • near an easily accessible AC outlet • near a telephone line jack • out of the way of normal activities • away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal walls, filing cabinets, wireless intercoms, security alarms, and room monitors The base’s location affects the phone’s range.

Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the phone or the adapter. ! • Always connect the AC adapter to the base before you connect it to AC power.
