INTRODUCTION Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most sophisticated cordless telephones on the market! The Sprint cordless phone has been designed to offer a new standard in cordless telephone technology. Unlike most other cordless phones, the Sprint cordless phone 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, interference and having to listen to other people's conversations on your cordless phone. The Sprint cordless phone 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 Sprint cordless phone decodes and displays name and/or number Caller ID (CID) information where available and when subscribed to. The alpha-numeric display can show both the name and number of the calling party. Up to 24 name characters or 11 phone number digits can be displayed on the LCD. With the Sprint cordless phone, the user can easily answer a call by pressing any key other than the OFF, MUTE or VOLUME 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 enviroment. The Sprint cordless phone also provides a one-way Page/ Find. Pressing the Base 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 Sprint cordless phone 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, CID information as well as the Base and Handset security codes. When a battery pack is installed in the Base unit, the Sprint cordless phone uses this battery pack 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 5 hours backup will be possible with a fully charged battery pack in the Base unit. The Sprint cordless phone informs you that 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 using the phone! 1
