IMPORTANT FEATURES
CHARGE THE HANDSET BATTERIES BEFORE USING
THE CORDLESS TELEPHONE
The batteries lose their charge during shipping and storage. Be sure to charge the batteries before you use
the TC-919 cordless telephone. Place the handset in the base unit. The CHARGING/LINE IN USE
INDICATOR on the base will light. Leave the handset in the base unit for 12-15 hours.
The Digital Security Coding System automatically resets a new personal security code to one of over
64,000 combinations every time you return the TC-919 handset to the base unit. (Whenever the handset
is returned to the base unit you will hear a beep.) The security code prevents unauthorized use of your
telephone line, false rings and false dialing.
DIGITAL SECURITY CODE
GREATER RECEPTION RANGE
Shorter, more powerful signals are able to travel farther and penetrate thick concrete walls, enabling
users a wider area of reception, free of interference caused by obstructions.
ULTRA CLEAR NOISE REDUCTION CIRCUIT
The TC-919 is equipped with Ultra Clear Noise Reduction Circuitry (Compander Circuit). It reduces
background noise-reception is superior to conventional cordless telephones.
40 CHANNELS WITH CLEAR CHANNEL SELECTION
The TC-919 has 40 channels with Clear Channel Selection. Clear Channel Selection checks and secures
a clear channel with every call. When you press
TALK
to call out or receive a call, the unit automatically
finds a clear channel. Press
