INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 2.4
GHz Multi Handset Expandable Corded
Telephone. Unlike other conventional
telephones, your telephone supports up to
four cordless handsets on a single
telephone line. You can add a cordless
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
other handsets. 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 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).
Corded handset does not need AC power to
operate. It allows you to make/receive calls
if there is an AC power failure.
Cordless phones require AC power to
operate. When the power is off, you cannot
make or receive calls by using your cordless
handset. !
!
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.
