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.
