The Radio Shack System 208 2-Line Telephone with Auto-Dialer and Intercom
can be used as a stand-alone telephone or as part of a complete system of
two-line telephones.  You can connect up to five System 208s to the same
telephone line (depending on the phone line power*) and can place or
receive calls from any extension, using Line 1 or Line 2.  The built-in
intercom uses the telephone line so there is no need for any additional
wiring.  It allows you to page someone at any other System 208 telephone
connected to the lines.

Each Telephone can store up to 20 frequently-called numbers in memory for
automatic dialing.

The System 208 is easy to use and is an asset to your home or office
communications.  We encourage you to take the time to read this manual
completely before operating the telephone so you can enjoy all its many
features.  With proper care and maintenance, this telephone should give
you years of trouble-free service.
