INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 2.4 GHz 
Multi-Handset Expandable Cordless Telephone. 
Unlike other conventional cordless telephones, your 
telephone supports up to eight 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 Caller ID (CID) lets you see who’s 
calling before you answer the phone, even when 
you are already talking on the phone. 

The digital answering system provides clear, 
reliable messaging with call screening, day/time 
stamp, call counter, remote access, and instant skip 
or replay messaging. 

Before using your phone, be sure to carefully peel 
the protective film off the handset’s display window.

IMPORTANT SAFETY 

INSTRUCTIONS

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety 
precautions should always be followed to reduce 
the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, 
including the following.

1. Read and understand all instructions.

2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on 

the product.

3. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning 

storm.

!

 IMPORTANT 

!

Cordless phones require AC 
power to operate. When the 
power is off, you cannot 
make or receive calls using 
your phone. To be safe, you 
should also have a corded 
phone that does not require 
AC power to operate (not a 
cordless phone), so you can 
still make and receive calls if 
there is an AC power failure.
