INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have purchased
one of the most sophisticated cordless
telephones on the market! The VTech
VT 1940 has been designed to offer
a new standard in cordless telephone
technology.
Unlike most other cordless phones, the
VTech VT 1940 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 1940 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.
When an optional battery pack is
installed in the base unit, the Wech
W
1940 uses this battery pack to provide
operational backup in case of power
failure. In this way you have access
to Handset functions during
a
total
power outage. Calls can still be placed
and received on the Handset without
interruption. Up to
5
hours backup will
be possible with a fully charged battery
pack in the base unit.
The VTech VT 1940 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!
With the VTech VT 1940, 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.
The VTech VT 1940 also provides a
two-way IntercomIHandset locator
function.
The VTech VT 1940 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.
