FEATURES
Your RadioShack MessageLite brings the latest in telephone technology to the problem of knowi ng when you have
a message waiting at your voice mail box (with your local
phone company). You don’t even have to pick up your
phone’s handset!
When a caller leaves a message, the pho ne company sends
message waiting signals on your phone line. Your MessageLite picks up these signals and flashes its indicator. If
you pick up the handset, you hear a “stutter” dial tone until
you retrieve the message. (The stutter tone sounds like a
broken dial tone, instead of the constant tone you normally
hear.)
And, if there is a power failure, you can still hear the stutter
dial tone, even though the indicator does not l ight.
To use the MessageLite, you must be in an area where
message waiting service is available from your phone company, and you must sub scribe to the service.
Note:
The MessageLite is designed for use with a singleline phone jack (RJ11). It might not operate properly if connected to a PBX phone system or to a 2-line phone jack
(RJ14).
