We obtained spectrophotometry of V803 Cen in both high state (B ≈ 13.5) and low state (B ≈ 17) from 3800 Å to 7100 Å and 5 Å resolution. Essentially all the observed absorption lines are due to He I. No emission lines in either high or low state were detected, as well as no significant departures from a Planck law distribution.
