Congratulations on your purchase of the TRU 248 cordless telephone. This phone is designed for reliability,
long life, and outstanding performance utilizing the latest in 2.4 GHz Spread Spectrum technology.
Note: Some illustrations in this manual may differ from the actual unit for
explanation purposes.

F E A T U R E S
• 2.4 GHz Spread Spectrum Technology
• Digital Answering Device
• Caller ID and Call Waiting Caller ID
• 50 Number Caller ID Memory
• 3-Line, 16 Character Backlit Handset Display
• 20 Enhanced Memory Dial Locations

Digital Spread Spectrum Technology utilizes a “wider frequency band” vs. a “single narrow band”
used in standard digital transmissions. The 2.4 GHz frequency range was recently released to commercial
communications. The result is a more secure conversation with the clarity of digital sound, extended
range, and minimal interference from other cordless phones.
Random Code™ digital security automatically selects one of over 65,000 codes for the handset and base.
These features enhance your phone’s security and also prevent unauthorized calls as a result of your
phone being activated by other equipment.

Call waiting options allow you to handle call waiting calls in six different ways. (See page 34.)
