The UltraClear Plus innovative technology, together with 25 different channels, virtually eliminates background noise and provides you with the best possible reception during all of your conversations.

To protect you against misbilled calls which might result from your phone being activated by other equipment, Random Code™ digital security automatically selects one of over 65 thousand digital security codes for the Handset and Base Units.
