INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have purchased
one of the most sophisticated cordless
telephones on the market. The VT
1421 has been designed to offer a new
standard in cordless telephone
technology
Unlike most other cordless phones, the
VT 1421 digitizes your voice using
advanced ADPCM digital voice
encoding 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 conversations on your cordless
telephone.
The VT 1421 scrambles your voice
before it transmits. This allows you the
security of knowing that no one can
eavesdrop on your conversations.
The VT 1421 decodes and displays
name and/or number Caller ID
information where available and when
the service is subscribed to. The
alphanumeric display can show both
the name and number of the calling
party. Up to 15 name characters or
12 phone number digits (including
spaces) can be displayed.
With the VT 1421, the user can easily
answer a call simply by pressing any
key other than the OFF key. 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 VT 1421 uses special memory
which is not susceptible to power
failures. This provides permanent
storage of all memory dial numbers,
Caller ID information, and security
codes.
When an optional battery pack is
installed in the base unit, the VT 1421
uses this battery to provided operational
backup in case of power failure. In this
way you have access to handset
functions during total power outage.
Calls can still be placed and received
on the handset without interruption. Up
to 5 hours of backup will be possible
with a fully charged battery pack in the
base unit.
The VT 1421 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 on the phone!
The VT 1421 has a very unique and
compact design. Using the provided
beltclip, you can easily carry the
handset clipped to your belt or even in
a shirt pocket. Also, if you connect an
optional headset to the 2.5mm headset
jack on the VT 1421, you can have
completely hands-free conversations.
