Thank you for purchasing this

AUDIOVOX telephone. Your
AUDIOVOX DT 941 CI Integrated

Telephone Answering Device ( ITAD)

combines the features of a digital
cordless phone with a digital (tapeless)
answering device.

Unlike most other cordless phones, the

AUDIOVOX DT 941CI di itizes your
voice using advance D PC <:Jigital
voice c Ing o provide noise and

distortion free performance. In most

conditions, you will not be able to tell

you are using a corpless phone. Gone

are the annoyances of static, interfer-

ence and having to listen to other

people's conversations on your cord-

less phone.

The AUDIOVOX DT 941 CI 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 AUDIOVOX DT 941 CI decodes

and displays name and/or number
Caller 10 (CIO) 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.
With the AUDIOVOX Dr 941CI, 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 display

illuminate while the. handset rings to

signal an incoming call. This is very

useful in a dark environment.

The AUDIOVOX DT 941 CI 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 AUDIOVOX DT941 CI 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,
Caller 10 information as well as the
base and handset security codes.

When an optional battery pack is
installed in the base unit, the
AUDIOVOX DT 941 CI 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 AUDIOVOX DT 941 CI 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

using the phone!

FCC Part 68

The FCC requires that you connect

your cordless telephone to the nation-
wide telephone network through a

modular telephone jack {USOC AJ 11 C,
AJ11W or AJ14).

Your telephone company may discon-
tinue your service if your equipment

causes harm to the telephone network.
They will notify you in advance of

disconnection, if possible. During
notification, you will be informed of

your right to file a complaint with the

FCC.

Occasionally, your telepnoone com-
pany may make changes in its facili.
ties, equipment, operation, or proce-
dures that could affect the operation

of your equipment. If so, you will be
given advance notice of the change to
give you an opportunity to maintain
uninterrupted service.

The base unit'contains no user serv-

iceable parts. The handset contains
a user replaceable battery pack.

can only be made by the m~nufacturer
or its authorized agents or by others
who may be authorized by the FCC.

For repair procedures, follow the

instructions outlined under the
AUDIOVOX Limited Warranty.

This equipment may not be used on
coin service provided by the phone
company or Party Lines.

The REN is useful in determining the
number of devices you may connect
to your telephone line and still enable
the devices to ring when you receive
a call. The general rule is that the REN
value should not exceed 5.0A total;

however, contact your local telephone

company for the specific number in
your area.

Ch~rging The Handset Battery Pack
The handset of your AUDIOVOX
DT 941 CI is powered by a recharge-
able battery pack. It charges auto-
matically whenever the handset is in
the base. You should charge the
battery pack for 16 hours when you
first receive your phone. You'll kqow
the battery pack needs charging
when:

.The phone emits a warning tone

when you press the~key.

The low battery message is
displayed:

Alternatively, if you have purchased a

Caller ID (CID)
Your AUDIOVOX DT 941 CI cordless
phone is capable of displaying the
name and/or phone number of the
person calling, before you answer the
phone. Subscription to Caller ID service

through your local phone company is

required to utilize this feature. /:.

If you subscribe to alphanumeric
(name and number) Caller ID service,
the calling party's name and phone
number (when available) will be
displayed on the handset screen while

the phone is ringing.

If you subscribe to numeric (number

only) Caller ID service, the calling
party's phone number (when available )
will be displayed on the handset
screen while the phone is ringing.

Call Waiting Caller ID (Type II CID)

Your AUDIOVOX DT 941CI cordless
phone is also capable ot displaying
Caller ID information in connection
with a Call Waiting signal. If you are
on a call, and receive a Call Waiting
alert signal, the LCD will display the
name and/or number (when available)

of the party trying to reach you. As

above, subscription to Call Waiting ID
service through your local phone
company is required in order to utilize
this feature.

A Word About Caller ID -CID
Due to regional incompatibilities, Caller
ID information may not be available for

every call you receive. In addition, the

calling party may intentionally block
their name and phone number from
being sent.

~~f~t4

Receiving and Storing Ca!l~

This unit receives and displays all

Caller ID {CID) information, the caller6s

telephone number, the caJler's name
and the exact date and time of the call.

The phone sequentially numbers these

call records and retains them in the

unit's memory for later review. These
call record numbers are displayed as
the first two digits in the display. The
unit can store up to 50 nu':T1bers in its

memory.

Once the Caller ID (CID) memory is
full, any new call forces a deletion of
the oldest call record.

Dialing From CID "Memory;-:!

For example, when you press and hold
the 7(Dkey to view the phone number,
you would see the following:

However. when you dial directly from
Caller ID (CID) memory, only the last
7 digits of the received telephone
number will be used. Consequently.

you would actually dial this:

The AUDIOVOX DT 941CI was

designed to accommodate this
situation. If you need to temporarily
add a long distance prefix and lor area
code (such as 150:?) before the Caller
ID (CID) number, do the following:
.Beginning from the standby mode,

key in the necessary digits. Your
display will look like this:

Then, to temporarily add the last
7 digits only from a Caller ID

Noise Or Interference
Your AUDIOVOX DT 941CI cordless
telephone has auto-channel scan
circuitry which will detect excess noise

and change the channel of the phone
to reduce it. This is done automatically.

Out Of Range When Phone ..Is On
Since the AUDIOVOX Dr 941 CI...is a
fully digital phone, it does not suffer

from noise associated with regular

cordless phones. At times you may

experience occasional "drop outs",
especially at the extreme edges of the
phone's range. Simply move closer to
the base unit and this will disappear.

Automatic Security Coding
Your AUDIOVOX DT 941 CI phone is

factory set with 16.8 million possible
security codes. This unique security
code allows your handset and base to

recognize each other, and minimizes

.

the possibility of another cordless
phone using your telephone line.

Out Of Range Indication
If the handset is moved to a point
where the base and handset can no
longer communicate, the handset will

display CHANNEL SEARCHING, and
scan all channels in an attempt to re-
link with the base.

If you are presently engaged in a
phone conversation move closer to the
base. If the base unit does not
communicate with the handset within
25 seconds of losing contact, it will

automatically hang up.

Out Of Range When Phone :Is Off

When the phone is OFF, lhe handset

and base still monitor each other to

make sure that they can communicate.

If the handset is moved out of range,

the handset will display .CHANNEL

SEARCHING.. The handset will scan

all channels in an attempt to reestablish

communication with the base. This

process does not require user

intervention; the handset will re-Iink

with the base automatically once it is

brought back within range. The unit
will then be able to receive and place
calls.

When the base unit i~ unplugged-
from the power supply, the handset

.,

'I

"

+

will display -CHANNEL SEARCH-

ING". Plug the base in again and this
will stop.
