INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most sophisticated cordless telephones on the market! The VTech VT 1940 has been designed to offer

anew 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, interferenceand 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.

With the VTech VT 1940, the user can easily answer a call by pressing any key other than the OFF, MUTE or VOLUME Keys. Inaddition, 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.

When an optional battery pack is installedin 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 notusing the phone!
