Congratulations! You have purchased
one of the most sophisticated cordless
telephones on the market! The VT
1923 has been designed to offer a new
standard in cordless telephone
technology.
Unlike most other cordless phones, the
VT 1923 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 VT 1923 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 1923 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 on the LCD.
With the VT 1923, the user can easily
answer a call by pressing any key other
than the OFF, MUTE or VOLUME
Keys. In addition, the Handset keypad
INTRODUCTION
and LCD illuminate while the Handset
rings to signs an incoming call. This is
very useful in a dark enviroment. The
VT1923 also provides a one-way
Page/Finf. 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 1923 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, CID information
as well as the Base and Handset
security codes.
When an optional battery pack is
installed in the Base unit, the VT 1923
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
p l a c e d a n d r e c e i v e d w i t h o u t
interruption. More than 5 hours backup
will be possible with a fully charged
battery pack in the Base unit.
The VT 1923 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!
