Thank you for purchasing this Vtech
telephone. Your
VT 1970ci
Integrated
Telephone Answering Device ( ITAD)
combines the features of a digital
cordless phone with a digital (tapeless)
answering device.
Unlike most other cordless phones, the
VTech
VT1970ci
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
VT1970ci
scrambles your
voice before it transmits it.
This allows
you the security of knowing that no one
can tune in and eavesdrop on your
conversations.
The VTech
VT1970ci
decodes and
displays name and/or number Caller ID
(CID) information where available and
when subscribed to.
The alpha-
numeric display can show both the
name and number of the calling party.
Up to 24 name characters or 11 phone
number digits can be displayed.
With the VTech
VT1970ci,
the user can
easily answer a call by pressing any
key other than the OFF, MUTE or
VOLUME Keys. In addition, the handset
keypad and display illuminate while the
handset rings to signal an incoming
call. This is very useful in a dark
environment.
INTRODUCTION
The VTech
VT1970ci
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
VT1970ci
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,
Caller ID information as well as the
base and handset security codes.
When an optional battery pack is
installed in the base unit, the VTech
VT1970ci
uses this battery pack 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 pack in the base unit.
The VTech
VT1970ci
informs you
when 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!
