Narrative:
As the pilot flying; I called for the flaps up. At the same time the pilot not flying (PNF) was contacted by tower to contact departure. While answering that radio call; the PNF retracted the flaps and went over the slat gate and retracted the slats unknowingly. A few moments later while the PNF was checking in with departure; the stick shaker activated and the pli on the FD turned red and met the FD. After a brief second of trying to diagnose the issue; I realized the PNF retracted the flaps and slats prior to slat retract speed and I immediately lowered the nose and extended the slats. The speed combined with the slat extension returned us to normal profile departure and we then retracted the slats on speed.

Title: After takeoff; an MD-11 Captain; distracted while contacting TRACON; raised both the flaps and slats when only flaps up was called for. The First Officer lowered the nose; extended the slats; and stopped the stall warning.
