This symbol is intended to alert you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that might be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. Do not open the product’s case. This symbol is intended to inform you that important operating and maintenance instructions are included in the literature accompanying this product. Important: Cordless phones such as this one require AC power to operate. When the AC power is off, you cannot dial out or receive incoming calls using your SP-809. For this reason, the SP-809 cordless phone should not be your only telephone. To be safe, you should also have a 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. Your SP-809 operates on standard radio frequencies, as allocated by the FCC. Therefore, it is possible for other radio units operating on similar frequencies, within a certain area, to inadvertently intercept your conversations and/or cause interference on your cordless telephone. This lack of privacy can occur with any cordless telephone. RadioShack is a registered trademark used by Tandy Corporation.

Its cordless operation lets you handle calls just about anywhere in your home or office. The telephone answering device (TAD) stores all messages on a computer chip. This gives you advanced capabilities over tape- based answering machines. For example, you can save individual messages while the rest are deleted. Because your system is fully digital, there are no tape mechanisms to wear out and no tapes to bother with. The SP-809 has these features: Four User Mailboxes — let you store and play back messages for up to four different users. Date/Time Stamp — records the day and time each message was recorded. Digitally-Synthesized Voice — guides you through operation of the system. Remote Operation — lets you use a touch-tone phone (or rotary phone and pocket tone dialer) to operate the answering system while you are away from your home or office. Programmable Remote Access Code — lets you set your own security code for remote operation. Remote Answer-On — lets you call the answering system from a remote location and set it to answer calls. Toll-Saver — lets you avoid unnecessary toll charges when you call by long-distance to check your messages. Two-Way Recording — lets you record both sides of your phone conversation. 3 43-5809.fm Page 4 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 1:43 PM Priority Calling Code — lets select callers alert you of a priority call. 25 Channels — automatically selects a clear channel when you make or answer a call. You can also manually change channels during a call. 20-Number Memory Dialing — lets you store 20 numbers in memory for easy dialing. Security Access-Protection Code — changes each time you unplug the phone from AC power, to help prevent other cordless phone users from using your phone line while the handset is off the base. Two-Way Intercom/Paging System — lets you send a signal from the base to the handset, or from the handset to the base, to page someone or locate the handset when it is away from the base. If someone answers, you can use the SP-809 as an intercom. Flash — sends an electronic switchhook signal for use with special phone services such as Call Waiting. Volume Control — so you can adjust the volume you hear through the handset. Hold — lets you put a call on hold, so you can answer another call or page someone. Redial — lets you quickly redial the last number dialed. Touch/Pulse Dialing — lets you use your phone with tone or pulse service. 4 43-5809.fm Page 5 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 1:43 PM This telephone has been tested and found to comply with all applicable UL and FCC standards.

Serial Number: __________________ READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION Each device that you connect to the phone line draws power from the phone line. We refer to this power draw as the device’s ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of the base. If you are using more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than five, your phone might not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer operatio...
