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 unit 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.

In the unlikely event that your phone causes
problems on the phone line, the phone
