Congratulations! You have pur-
chased one of the most sophisticated
cordless telephones on the market!
The VTech VT 1721 has been de-
signed to offer a new standard in cord-
less telephone technology.
Unlike most other cordless phones,
the VTech VT 1721 digitizes your voice
using advanced digital voice coding to
provide noise and distortion free per-
formance. In most conditions you will
not be able to tell you are using a
cordless phone. Gone are the annoy-
ances of static, interference and hav-
ing to listen to other people’s conver-
sations on your cordless phone.
The VTech VT 1721 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 VTech VT 1721 decodes and
displays name and number Caller ID
(CID) information where available and
when subscribed to. The alpha-nu-
meric display will show both the name
and number of the calling party (when
available). Up to 15 name characters
and/or 11 phone number digits can be
displayed on the LCD.
With the VTech VT 1721, the user
can easily answer a call by pressing
any key other than the OFF or VOLUME
INTRODUCTION
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 VTech VT 1721 also provides a
one-way Page/Find. Pressing the Base
Unit 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 VTech VT 1721 uses special
memory in both the Base Unit and
Handset which is not susceptible to
power failures. This provides perma-
nent storage of all speed dial numbers,
CID information as well as the Base
Unit and Handset security codes.
When a spare battery is installed in
the Base Unit, the VTech VT 1721 uses
this battery 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 4 hours backup will be possible
with a fully charged battery in the Base
Unit.
The phone will also alert you when
you are Out of Range even when you're
not using the phone!
