INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 5.8
GHz Multi-Handset Expandable Cordless
Telephone. Unlike other conventional
cordless telephones, your telephone
supports up to ten 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 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 day and time information for
each message. 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.
