Congratulations!
You have pur-
chased one of the most sophisticated
cordless telephones on the market!
The
CB 1733
has been designed to
offer a new standard in cordless
telephone technology.
Unlike most other cordless phones,
the
CB 1733
digitizes your voice using
advanced digital voice coding to pro-
vide noise and distortion free perform-
ance.
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
CB 1733
scrambles your voice
before it transmits it.
This allows you
the security of knowing that no one can
tune in and eavesdrop on your conver-
sations.
The
CB 1733
decodes and displays
name and number Caller ID (CID)
information where available and when
subscribed to.
The alpha-numeric
display will show both the name and
number of the calling party (when
available).
Up to 15 name characters
and/or 11 phone number digits can be
displayed on the LCD.
With the
CB 1733
, the user can easily
answer a call by pressing any key other
than the OFF, VOLUME keys or 3 PPU
keys. In addition, the handset keypad
and LCD illuminate while the handset
rings to signal an incoming call. This is
very useful in a dark environment.
The
CB 1733
includes a
Speakerphone
and
keypad
on the
Base Unit. This enables you to make
INTRODUCTION
and receive calls hands-free at the
Base. In addtion, the Intercom feature
allows two-way communication
between the Handset and Base Unit.
Pressing
INTER.COM
on the Base can
also assist
you in locating a misplaced
Handset.
The
CB 1733
uses special memory
in both the Base Unit and Handset
which is not susceptible to power
failures.
This provides permanent
storage of all speed dial numbers, CID
information as well as the Base Unit
and Handset security codes.
When the spare battery is installed in
the Base Unit, the
CB 1733
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 4 hours
backup will be possible with a fully
charged battery in the Base Unit.
The phone will also alert you when
you are Out of Range even when you're
not using the phone!
