FEATURES

Your RadioShack ET-928 Digital Spread Spectrum 900 MHz Cordless Speakerphone uses advanced digi- tal cordless technology to give you superior sound quality. It uses the 900 MHz band, which means less in- terference and clearer sound, and greater range than 46/49 MHz cord- less telephones. Its cordless opera- tion lets you make or answer calls just about anywhere in your home or office.

And, its optional headset jack lets you connect a headset to the hand- set for hands-free conversation — perfect for when you are working in the yard or garage.

Its features include:

900 MHz Operation — provides bet- ter sound and less interference than many other cordless phones.

3.5-Hour Talk or 7-Day Standby Time — lets you talk for 3.5 hours or keep the phone off the base for 7 days without recharging (with a fully charged battery pack).

Digitally Encoded Signal — pre- vents other people from picking up your phone’s signal and listening to your conversations.

Dual Keypads — a full set of keys on both the ET-928’s handset and its base let you use either to make and answer calls or program the phone’s features.

Handset/Base Disable — automati- cally disables the ET-928’s handset or base during a call to prevent any- one from interrupting your call at the other keypad.

Speakerphone — lets you make or answer calls without using the hand- set.

Two-Way Intercom/Paging Sys- tem — lets you send a signal from the base to the handset, or from the handset to the base, so you can page someone or easily locate the handset when it is away from the base. If someone answers, you can use the ET-928 as a two-way inter- com.

20-Number Memory Dialing — lets you store up to 16 digits in each of 20 memory locations for easy dial- ing.
