Vtech VT 1901 User Manual - Page 1

INTRODUCTION 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. 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! 1901MANUAL 1 1 1/28/99, 3:29 PM
