INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 5.8
GHz Dual Handset Expandable 2-Line
Cordless Telephone. Unlike other
conventional cordless telephones, your
telephone supports up to two handsets on a
single telephone line. You can add a
handset to any room in your home or office
that has an AC outlet. No more running to
the other end of the house to answer the
phone! You can transfer outside calls to
another handset. If you subscribe to Call
Waiting with Caller ID, the phone shows you
the incoming caller information, even when
you are already talking on the phone.
The digital answering system stores up to
12 minutes of messages (for each line) on a
computer chip and records each message’s
day and time. This gives you advanced
capabilities over tape-based answering
machines:
• You can delete individual messages
and save the rest.
• There are no tapes to bother with and
no tape mechanisms to wear out.
The remote operation feature lets you
operate your answering system from a
touch-tone phone (or from a rotary phone
with a pocket tone dialer).
Cordless phones require AC power to
operate. When the power is off, you cannot
make or receive calls by using your phone.
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. !
!
IMPORTANT
!
• 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.
