Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the RadioShack
900 MHz Cordless Telephone. Your system
combines a 900 MHz cordless telephone and
a digital answering system. The 900 MHz
band provides less interference, clearer
sound, and greater range than 46/49 MHz
cordless telephones.
The digital answering system stores up to 16
minutes of messages on a computer chip
and records each message’s day and time.
Advantages over tape-based answering
machines include:
• Ability to delete individual messages
and save the rest.
• No tapes to bother with and no tape
mechanisms to wear out.
• Remote operation from a touch-tone
phone (or from a rotary phone with a
pocket tone dialer).
TELEPHONE

numbers (3 one-touch and 7 speed-dial) in
