VTech VT 1421 manual Introduction

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.
