Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack
2.4 GHz Cordless Telephone. Your phone
uses advanced technology to give you
superior audio quality and extended range.
The phone's Caller ID feature records each
caller's telephone number (and name, if
available in your area) and the date and time
of the call, as provided by your local phone
company to Caller ID service subscribers. 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 answering system stores up to 16
minutes, or up to 99 messages without the
use of tapes or tape mechanisms.
This phone's Dual Band transmission
combines the best of 2.4GHz and 900MHz
technologies, providing enhanced
performance over standard cordless
telephones.
ABOUT CALLER ID
(CID)
This product has a Caller ID with Call
Waiting feature that works with service from
your local phone service provider. Caller ID
with Call Waiting lets you see who's calling
before you answer the phone, even when
you're on another call. You may need to
change your phone service to use this
feature. Contact your phone service provider
if:
• You have both Caller ID and Call
Waiting, but as separate services (you
may need a combined service).
• You have only Caller ID service, or only
Call Waiting service.
• You don't subscribe to any Caller ID or
Call Waiting services.
You can use this product with regular Caller
ID service, and you can use this product's
other features without subscribing to either
Caller ID or combined Caller ID with Call
Waiting service. There are fees for Caller ID
services, and some services may not be
available in all areas.
This product can provide information only if
both you and the caller are in areas offering
Caller ID service, and if both telephone
companies use compatible equipment.

ABOUT TELEZAPPER

The TeleZapper feature in your phone is a
patented device that helps you eliminate

IMPORTANT
Ô
- Note
2.4GHz Cordless Phone
with CID, TeleZapper & Answering System
- Caution
many of those annoying telemarketing calls.
The TeleZapper feature covers all the
telephones and answering machines
connected to that line in your home or office.
When you or your answering machine pick
up the phone, the TeleZapper emits a
special tone that fools many computer-
based dialing systems into thinking your
number is disconnected. Instead of
connecting you to a salesperson, the
computer drops the call and stores your
number as disconnected in its database. As
your number is eliminated from more and
more lists, those annoying computer-
generated calls just about stop altogether.
The TeleZapper won't interfere with
manually dialed calls, or with answering
machines, Caller ID or Call Waiting.
Once you've activated the TeleZapper
feature in your phone, if you answer your
telephone and there's no one there, the
odds are that you just "zapped" a
telemarketer. After a few weeks, you'll notice
that you are receiving fewer and fewer of
these calls.
The TeleZapper even works with your
answering machine to "zap" telemarketers
when you are away or when you prefer not
to answer the phone. When your answering
machine picks up a call for you, the
TeleZapper emits its special tone to "zap"
the telemarketer. We recommend that you
re-record your message and delay speaking
for a few seconds to allow time for the
TeleZapper tone prior to the start of your
recorded message.
