INTRODUCTION
The VTech VT 1901 uses special
memory in both the base and handset
which is not susceptible to power
failures.
This provides permanent
storage of all memory dial numbers, as
well as the base and handset security
codes.
When an optional spare battery pack
is installed in the base unit, the VTech
VT 1901 uses this battery to provide
operational backup in case of power
failure.
In this way you have access
to all normal phone functions during a
total power outage.
Calls can still be
placed and received without
interruption.
More than 5 hours backup
will be possible with a fully charged
battery in the base unit.
The VTech VT 1901 informs you that
another
extension is currently in use
on the same phone line.
The phone
will also alert you when you are Out
of Range even when you're not using
the phone!
Congratulations!
You have purchased
one of the most sophisticated cordless
telephones on the market!
The VTech
VT 1901 has been designed to offer
a new standard in cordless telephone
technology.
Unlike most other cordless phones, the
VTech VT 1901 digitizes your voice
using advanced ADPCM digital voice
coding to provide noise and distortion
free performance.
In most conditions
you will not be able to tell you are using
a cordless phone.
Gone are the
annoyances of static, interference and
having to listen to other people’s
conversations on your cordless phone.
The VTech VT 1901 scrambles your
voice before it transmits it.
This
ensures that no one can tune in and
eavesdrop on your conversations.
With the VTech VT 1901 the user can
easily answer a call on the handset by
simply pressing any key other than the
OFF, MUTE or Volume Keys.
This is
very useful in a dark environment, so
that the user does not have to fumble
around looking for the PHONE key to
answer the call.
The VTech VT 1901
also provides a
one-way Page/find.
Pressing the base
PAGE key will cause the handset to
ring in a manner which distinguishes
it from normal incoming ringing.
This
can be used to alert the handset user
or to simply locate the handset in the
event that it is misplaced.
