CELLULAR CAR TELEPHONE
TOR BUSINESS ON THE MOVE
The AUDIOVOX Cellular Car Telephone is the most techni
cally advanced car telephone available today. In one sleek,
compact system, AUDIOVOX provides cellular mobile tech
nology at its best. This means a car telephone system with
eight hundred thirty-two available channels and an extended
roaming capability that can interface with any cellular sys
tem in the United States.
AUDIOVOX BC-20 Cellular Car Telephone offers an out
standing array of features such as push button on-hook
dialing that enables you to dial while the handset is in
the cradle; repertory dialing that lets you store and recall
up to 39 of your frequently called numbers; and last number
redial that permits you to redial the last number you called
at the touch of a single button (a great help when calling
frequently busy phones). An electronic “scratch-pad" allows
you to enter a number into the unit while you are engaged
in a conversation without writing it down; the number can
be recalled later using the repertory dialing or last number
redial features. The BC-20 also has a call time display fea
ture that automatically counts the time that your phone
is in operation, and touch tone from memory that allows
you to access discount long distant services, signal pagers
or banking by phone.
AUDIOVOX has made the installation and maintenance of
the Cellular Car Telephone simple. The small, sturdy, com
pact transceiver can be installed in one easy operation. A
flexible mounting system allows the phone to be mounted
wherever you want.

Cellular Car Telephone is surprisingly easy to use; you sim
ply dial—no codes, no operators, no waiting, no hassle.

many of its components, will help you to make the easiest
