Congratulations! You have purchased
one of the most sophisticated cordless
telephones on the market! The
VT
1921 has been designed to offer a
new standard in cordless telephone
technology.
Unlike most other cordless phones,
the VT 1921 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
te!l 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 VT 1921 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 VT 1921 decodes and displays
name
and/or number Caller ID (CID)
information where available and when
subscribed to. The alpha-numeric
display can show both
thename and
number of the calling party. Up to 24
name characters or 11 phone number
digits can be displayed on the LCD.
With the VT 1921, the user can easily
answer a call by pressing any key
otherthan the OFF, MUTEorVOLUME
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 VT 1921 also provides a one-
way
PageIFind. 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 VT 1921 uses special memory in
both the base and handset which is
not susceptible -to power failures.
This provides permanent storage of
a11 memory dial numbers, CID
information as well as the base and
handset security, codes.
When an optional battery pack is
installed, in the base unit, the
VT
1921
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
VT
1921 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!
