Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the RadioShack Digital Telephone 
Answering System. Your system is a sophisticated, fully digital 
message center. Fully digital means the system stores all 
messages on a computer chip. This gives you advanced 
capabilities over a tape-based answering machine. For 
example, you can save or delete individual messages. Because 
your system is fully digital, there are no tape mechanisms to 
wear out and no tapes to bother with. Your system has:

High Capacity — lets you record up to 10 minutes of 
messages, memos, and two-way phone conversations.

Day/Time Stamp — records the day and time each message 
was recorded.

Call Screening — lets you listen to incoming calls so you can 
decide whether or not to answer a call.

Phone Pick-Up Detection — stops recording a caller’s 
message when you pick up any phone on the same line as the 
system, so you can talk to the caller.

Multiple Outgoing Message (OGM) — lets you set the system 
to play your message or the prerecorded message, or just play 
your announcement without recording the caller’s message.

Memo Recording — lets you leave a message for yourself or 
others in your home or office.

Two-Way Recording — lets you record both sides of a 
telephone conversation.
