Features
n
Your Sprint SP-809 Digital Phone Answering System offers the lat-
est advances in answering machine and cordless phone technolo-
gy. 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.

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 un-
plug 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 inter-
com.
Flash — sends an electronic switchhook signal for use with spe-
cial 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.

This telephone has been tested and found to comply with all appli-
cable UL and FCC standards.
We recommend you record your phone’s serial number here. The
number is on the bottom of the base.
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 op-
eration. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the
line.
FCC STATEMENT
This telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must,
upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the REN
to your phone company. These numbers are on the bottom of the
base.
Note: You must not connect your SP-809 to any of the following:
² coin-operated systems
² party-line systems
² most electronic key phone systems

SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone on a desk top or table, mount it on a stan-
dard wall plate, or mount it directly on the wall. Select a location
that is:
² near an AC outlet not controlled by a wall switch
² near a telephone line jack
² out of the way of normal activities
² away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal
walls or filing cabinets, wireless intercoms, alarms, and room mon-
itors
The base’s location affects the phone’s range. If you have a choice
of several locations, try each to see which provides the best perfor-
mance.
Caution: The supplied AC adapter was designed specifically for
your SP-809. Use only the supplied adapter.
Notes:
² Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone line
jack. If your phone line jack is not a modular jack, you can update
the wiring yourself, using jacks and adapters available at your local
RadioShack store. Or, you can let the phone company update the
wiring for you.
² The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (RJ11W
for a wall plate).

INSTALLING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
The SP-809 is packaged with a rechargeable nickel-cadmium bat-
tery pack. Before using your phone, you must install the battery
pack and then charge it for 12–15 hours.
Press down and slide off the
compartment cover. Place
the battery pack into the com-
partment aligning the battery
pack with the polarity marks
(+ and –) inside. Replace the
cover.
To charge the battery pack,
simply place the handset on
the base. The CHARGING in-
dicator on the base lights.
Note: You can place the handset on the base faceup or facedown.
Recharge the battery pack
when the LOW BATT indica-
tor on the handset flashes.

Notes:
² When you first use the phone after charging or recharging the
battery pack, the phone might not work and you might hear a two-
TALK
beep signal when you press
. If this happens, return the
handset to the base for about 30 seconds. This resets the security
access protection code.

² If the CHARGING indicator does not light when you place the
handset on the base, be sure the battery pack and AC adapter are
correctly and securely connected.
Also, check the charging
contacts on the handset and
the base. If the contacts are
dirty or tarnished, clean them
with a pencil eraser.

² If the battery pack gets completely discharged or the base loses
power while the handset is away from it, the security access-
protection code needs to be reset. To reset the code, place the
handset on the base for about 30 seconds. If it was the handset
that lost power, leave the handset on the base to charge the bat-
tery pack.
² If the battery pack gets weak during a call, the handset sounds
4 beeps every 30 seconds. If this happens, you cannot make
another call on the phone until you recharge the battery pack.
² About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by keep-
ing the handset off the base until the LOW BATT indicator lights.
Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge.
² If you are not going to use your phone for an extended period of
time, disconnect the battery pack. This increases the battery
pack’s usable life.
² The supplied battery pack should last for about a year. When it
loses its ability to fully recharge, order a replacement battery pack
through your local RadioShack store (see “Replacing the Handset
Battery Pack” on Page 46).

ABOUT THE MAILBOXES
The SP-809 has four voice mailboxes, providing a convenient way
to share the system with other members of your household or busi-
ness. Callers using a touch-tone phone can select the mailbox
where they want their message to be recorded by pressing the de-
sired mailbox number (1–4) after the announcement. Callers using
a pulse (rotary) phone can leave messages in mailbox 1.
ANNOUNCEMENT OPTIONS
Before using the SP-809, you can record an announcement (up to
three minutes long) that callers hear when the system answers a
call. The TAD lets you record three separate announcements, and
it operates differently based on which announcement you select.
² Announcements A and B — After playing your outgoing mes-
sage, the TAD records the caller’s message.
If you do not record a personalized outgoing message, the
TAD plays a prerecorded message.

² Announcement AO (announce-only) — The TAD plays your
outgoing message, but does not record a message.
If you plan to use the TAD’s announce-only feature,
Announcement AO should clearly state that the caller cannot leave
a message.
When you record your announcement, make sure you indicate
who has been assigned to each mailbox and what callers should
do to access the appropriate mailbox.
For example,
You have reached the Jones residence. We are unable to
come to the phone right now, but you may press: 2 to leave a mes-
sage for Mary, 3 to leave a message for Susan, 4 to leave a mes-
sage for Paul, or just wait for the beep, then leave your message.
If you are recording an announcement for a business, you might
use:
Hello! You have reached XYZ Company. To leave a message
for Manufacturing, press 2; for Customer Service, press 3; for
Delivery, press 4. Or, you can leave a message after the beep.
Hint: Do not tell callers that you are out of town or not home. In-
stead, say that you cannot come to the phone right now.

USING THE PRIORITY CALLING CODE
When a caller uses the priority calling code, the TAD beeps loudly
to alert you that you have a priority call. Here is how it works.
A caller dials your telephone number from a touch-tone phone.
When the announcement begins to play, the caller enters the prior-
ity calling code.
The system beeps three times, then pauses. This continues for 30
seconds or until you answer the phone. The beeps are audible on
both ends of the call.
If you do not answer, the caller can leave a message in a mailbox.

MEMORY DIALING
You can store up to 20 numbers (up to 24 digits each) in memory,
then dial a stored number by pressing a two-digit memory location
number.
Storing a Number in Memory
Notes:
² If the dialing mode is set for pulse service and you want to use
tone dialing for a memory number, you must store a tone as the
first entry of the number (see “Using Tone Services on a Pulse
Line” on Page 27).
² Do not store a number with both pulse and tone entries in the
same memory location. This could result in a wrong number being
dialed.
² Each pause (see “Entering a Pause” on Page 30) and tone
entry uses one digit of memory.
² To keep your accounts secure, we recommend you do not store
your personal access code for services such as bank-by-phone in
a memory location.
² An error tone sounds and the phone exits the programming
mode if you wait more than 15 seconds between each keypress or
enter more than 24 digits. You must start over at Step 1.

2 Enter the number you want to store. (To store the last number
you dialed, simply press REDIAL.)
If you enter a wrong digit, press DELETE to delete the last
entered digit. Then enter the correct digit.
3 Press PROG/MEM then enter a two-digit memory location num-
ber (01–20). The SP-809 beeps three times.
Note: If you receive a call while you are storing information in
memory, press PHONE to answer the call. After the call, begin
again at Step 1.
To replace a stored number, simply store a new one in its place.
Entering a Pause
In some telephone systems, you must dial an access code (9, for
example) and wait for a second dial tone before you can dial an
outside number. You can store the access code with the phone
number. However, you should also store a pause after the access
code to allow the outside line time to connect. To do so, hold down
the number immediately preceding the pause until you hear a sec-
ond beep. (For example, if 9 is your access code, hold down 9 until
you hear a second beep.) This enters a 1.5-second pause. For a
longer pause, hold down the number key until you hear additional
beeps.

Chain-Dialing Service Numbers
For quick recall of numbers for special services (such as alternate
long distance or bank by phone), store each group of numbers in
its own memory location.
When calling special services, dial the service’s main number first.
Then at the appropriate place in the call, press PROG/MEM, then
enter the number (or press M1) for the location where the addition-
al information is stored.
Testing Stored Emergency Numbers
If you store an emergency service’s number (police department,
fire department, ambulance) and you choose to test the stored
number, make the test call during the late evening or early morning
hours to avoid peak demand periods. Remain on the line to explain
the reason for your call.

TAD Operation
The TAD stops recording and resets to answer the next call when:
² the caller hangs up
² the maximum message length is reached
² there are more than 5 seconds of silence
If the TAD’s memory is full, F (full) and the number of recorded
messages alternately appear, and it answers after 10 rings and an-
nounces “Memory is full.”
Notes:
² The maximum total of messages the TAD can store is 22 min-
utes.
² Many local phone companies use calling party control (CPC) to
signal that the caller has hung up. Your TAD is designed to recog-
nize a CPC signal and releases the line. If the TAD records phone
company messages or dial tones, your local phone company prob-
ably does not use CPC.
SCREENING CALLS
To screen calls, let the TAD answer them, then listen to the caller’s
message through the TAD’s speaker.
If you decide to answer the call, pick up any phone on the same
SPEAKER
phone line as the TAD or press
on the SP-809’s base.
The TAD stops recording and resets to answer the next call.
If you do not want to take the call, simply let the TAD finish record-
ing the caller’s message.
Note: If you answer the phone just as the TAD answers, the TAD
might not stop playing the outgoing message. If this happens,

Care and Maintenance
n
Your SP-809 Digital Phone Answering System is an example of
superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will
help you care for your phone so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the phone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
can contain minerals that corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the phone gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-
cuit boards and cases and cause the phone to work improperly.
Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environ-
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic de-
vices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the phone away from dust and dirt which can cause prema-
ture wear of parts.
Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong de-
tergents to clean your phone.
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal components can
cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void
your FCC authorization to operate it. If your phone is not perform-
ing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assis-
tance. If the trouble is affecting the phone lines, the phone
company might ask you to disconnect your phone until you have
resolved the problem.

REPLACING THE HANDSET BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Installing and Charging the Battery
Pack” on Page 12, the battery pack should last about one year. If
the battery pack does not hold a charge for more than 2 hours after
an overnight charge, replace the battery pack with a new 3.6 volt,
700 milliamp battery pack. You can order a replacement battery
pack through your local RadioShack store.
Follow the directions in “Installing and Charging the Battery Pack”
on Page 12 to install and charge the new battery pack.
Cautions:
² You must use a replacement battery pack of the same size and
type.
² Dispose of the battery pack promptly and properly. Do not bury
or burn it.
² Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemi-
cals that can destroy electronic parts.
If you have trouble replacing the battery pack, take the phone to
your local RadioShack store for assistance.
Important: This product contains a rechargeable nickel-cadmium
battery pack. At the end of the battery pack’s useful life, it must be
recycled or disposed of properly. Contact your local, county, or
state hazardous waste management authorities for information on
recycling or disposal programs in your area. Some options that
might be available are: municipal curb-side collection, drop-off
boxes at retailers such as your local RadioShack store, recycling
collection centers, and mail-back programs.

Care and Maintenance
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone causes problems on the
phone line, the phone company can temporarily discontinue your
service. If this happens, the phone company attempts to notify you
in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the phone company
notifies you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to
file a complaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equip-
ment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of
this telephone. The telephone company notifies you of these
changes in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to pre-
vent interruption of your telephone service.
Your phone might cause TV or radio interference even when it is
operating properly. To determine whether your phone is causing
the interference, turn off your phone. If the interference goes away,
your phone is causing the interference. Try to eliminate the inter-
ference by:
² moving your phone away from the receiver
² connecting your phone to an AC outlet that is on a different
electrical circuit from the receiver
² contacting your local RadioShack store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you
stop using your phone.
Some cordless telephones operate on frequencies that may cause
interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent
such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not
be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR.

LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in lightning protection to reduce the risk of
damage from surges in telephone line and power line current. This
lightning protection meets or exceeds FCC requirements. Howev-
er, lightning striking the telephone or power lines can damage your
telephone.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live an area
that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your
phone during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.

Limited One-Year Warranty
This product is warranted by RadioShack against manufacturing defects in material and workman-
ship under normal use for one (1) year from the date of purchase from RadioShack company-owned
stores and authorized RadioShack franchisees and dealers. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, Ra-
dioShack MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING
THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED
IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THE WRITTEN LIMITED WARRANTIES CONTAINED
HEREIN. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, RadioShack SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RE-
SPONSIBILITY TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY
LIABILITY, LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY USE OR PERFOR-
MANCE OF THE PRODUCT OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, IN-
CLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM INCONVENIENCE, LOSS
OF TIME, DATA, PROPERTY, REVENUE, OR PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDEN-
TAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF RadioShack HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Some states do not allow the limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion of in-
cidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
In the event of a product defect during the warranty period, take the product and the RadioShack
sales receipt as proof of purchase date to any RadioShack store. RadioShack will, at its option, un-
less otherwise provided by law: (a) correct the defect by product repair without charge for parts and
labor; (b) replace the product with one of the same or similar design; or (c) refund the purchase
price. All replaced parts and products, and products on which a refund is made, become the prop-
erty of RadioShack. New or reconditioned parts and products may be used in the performance of
warranty service. Repaired or replaced parts and products are warranted for the remainder of the
original warranty period. You will be charged for repair or replacement of the product made after the
expiration of the warranty period.
This warranty does not cover: (a) damage or failure caused by or attributable to acts of God, abuse,
accident, misuse, improper or abnormal usage, failure to follow instructions, improper installation or
maintenance, alteration, lightning or other incidence of excess voltage or current; (b) any repairs
other than those provided by a RadioShack Authorized Service Facility; (c) consumables such as
fuses or batteries; (d) cosmetic damage; (e) transportation, shipping or insurance costs; or (f) costs
of product removal, installation, set-up service adjustment or reinstallation.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state.
