INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a
VTech
cord-
less telephone.
This manual is designed
to familiarize you with your
VT 2910c.
To
get the maximum use from your new
phone, we suggest that you read this
In-
struction Manual
before using your
VT
2910c
.
Your
VTech
VT 2910c
is a two line,
900MHz, digital cordless phone with
a Speakerphone on the Base Unit.
The
VT 2910c
digitizes your voice
using advanced ADPCM digital voice
coding, providing noise and distortion
free performance.
The
VTech
VT 2910c
also scrambles
your voice before transmitting it
between the Handset and Base Unit.
This minimizes the possibility of
surveillance by scanners and similar
devices.
Your
VTech
VT 2910c
is Caller ID and
Call Waiting-Caller ID compatible.
The Handset LCD will display the
name and phone number of the calling
party, when available.
NOTE
:
Caller ID
and
Call Waiting-
Caller ID
are subscription services,
available through most service
providers.
Contact your local
telephone service provider for
subscription information.
When the
VTech
VT 2910c
is not in
use, you can easily answer a call on
the Handset by pressing any key other
than the OFF or Volume keys.
This is
very useful in a dark environment.
Your
VT 2910c
provides one way
Paging from the Base Unit to the
Handset (very useful as a Handset
locator), and a two way Intercom
between the Handset and Base Unit.
The
VTech
VT 2910c
uses a non-
volatile memory which is not
susceptible to power failures.
This
feature provides permanent storage of
all memory dial numbers, Caller ID
records, as well as the Base Unit and
Handset security codes.
The
optional
battery pack installed in
the Base Unit provides operational
backup in the event of a power failure.
Calls can still be placed and received
without interruption.
About 5 hours of
backup power is available with a fully
charged battery pack in the Base Unit.
Your
VTech
VT 2910c
informs you
when another phone on the same line
is currently
in use.
The Handset will
also alert you when you are Out of
Range, whether or not the Handset is
in use.
